## What is DocClair?

DocClair turns your iPhone and iPad into a fast, private document scanner and PDF editor. Scan with the camera or straight from your printer, sign and annotate, and get a clean, sharp PDF in seconds. No account, no ads, no tracking: everything stays on your device.

Automatic edge detection and perspective correction straighten every page, while smart filters (Document, Black & White, Whitening) make text crisp and backgrounds clean. Live framing, lighting and focus guidance, plus a flash for low light, help you capture the perfect page every time. Add pages, reorder them and export a polished multi-page PDF.
