## What is CranScan?

CranScan is a document scanner that respects you: no account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking. Scanning and text recognition run entirely on your device. Pay once, own it forever.

SCAN
• Point your camera at any document or receipt — CranScan finds it, crops it and fixes the perspective
• Drag the corner handles for a perfect manual crop
• Color, Grayscale and crisp Black & White filters
• Combine multiple pages into one document
• Or import photos you already have

READ — 100% on-device OCR
• Local text recognition in Cyrillic (Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian) and Latin scripts — nothing is uploaded
• Works with crumpled receipts, slanted photos, sideways pages — CranScan straightens and rotates automatically
• Recognition runs in the background; you get a notification when your document is ready
• Add extra language packs on demand — you choose when to download them

RECEIPTS, ITEMS & ANALYTICS
• Receipt mode extracts the merchant, date and total automatically
• Line items are pulled out too, and each receipt is sorted into a spending category
• The Items screen totals your spending by month, by category and by merchant — all computed locally
• Auto-tagging: set keyword rules ("lidl" → #groceries) and stay organized without lifting a finger
• Export all receipts and items as a CSV spreadsheet

OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE AI
• On supported devices you can download an optional AI model that reads even messy receipts more accurately — and it still runs fully on your device, offline

ORGANIZE & EXPORT
• Folders, tags, and full-text search over everything you ever scanned
• Category-colored library, quick filters, and a bin so nothing is deleted by accident
• Export searchable PDFs (with an invisible text layer), JPEG, TXT and CSV
• Your entire library is a plain folder on your device — back it up by copying it

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
• Everything happens on-device: your documents, photos and receipt data never leave your phone
• The only time CranScan uses the network is when you tap "Download" to fetch an optional language or AI pack — no documents, images or usage data are ever sent
• No account, no subscription, no "premium" nagging: pay once, own forever

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.37 — 2026-09-18

Everything still happens on your iPhone: no account, no cloud, no ads.

Optional on-device AI now reads a receipt and shows you every change before it takes effect. The review screen goes field by field, item by item and tag by tag: tap one to take it, or undo it. You pick which model reads, and the button says its name.

Recognized text keeps the receipt's own layout in both show and edit mode, and edit mode has a scrollbar, so moving through a long read no longer selects the text.

Every control now carries a name for VoiceOver: text fields, steppers, chips and screen titles.

A library row says what it waits for, and it stops moving while a read is held for heat, battery or the camera.

The camera holds the right way up, and you pick the lens.

The library opens quicker, keeps its thumbnails, and the app uses less memory.

### 1.0.17 — 2026-08-19

Faster, more reliable on-device scanning and OCR. Reduced memory use during AI reads, improved receipt item extraction and totals, better text layout preservation, and more reliable camera capture. Updated Cranpose to 0.1.94.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-07

No release notes.
