Common questions

Does it really work offline?

Yes. Turn on airplane mode and scan, recognise text, and export a PDF. Nothing about the app depends on a connection, because it contains no network code at all.

Where are my documents stored?

In the app's own private storage on your device, which your operating system encrypts at rest. Nothing is written to permanent storage until you save or export.

How do I get my documents onto my computer?

Open the document from your library and use Share. Your device's share sheet can send it to any app you already have — mail, a cloud drive, a cable transfer. The app hands the file to whatever you choose; it never sends anything itself.

I paid on another device. How do I get Pro back?

Settings → Restore a purchase, or the Restore link on the upgrade screen. Purchases are tied to your App Store or Google Play account, not to us.

What is the difference between the two prices?

The one-time purchase never charges you again. The annual option is cheaper today and renews. Both unlock exactly the same features — there is no tier that holds anything back.

Can I search inside my scans?

Yes. Text recognition runs on your device when you save a document, and the library search looks inside the words on the page as well as the document name.

Why is a page not being cropped properly?

Cropping works best with the whole page in frame against a contrasting background, shot roughly square-on. You can adjust the crop in the scanner before accepting a page.

How do I delete everything?

Delete individual documents from the library, or uninstall the app to remove all of it. There is no copy anywhere else.

Privacy

The full policy is short and plain: Privacy Policy. The summary is that we collect nothing, because the app cannot send anything.
