Pagecrisp is the document scanner the App Store has been missing. It turns the camera in your pocket into a watermark-free, on-device PDF scanner with real OCR - in three taps. It is the anti-CamScanner. There is no signup. There is no cloud. There are no upsells. The PDF Pagecrisp exports is just your document, unbranded, full quality, ready to attach to an email or save to Files. WHY PAGECRISP - Every other "scan to PDF" app stamps a logo on your export, pushes a subscription, or quietly uploads your scans for "AI enhancement." - Pagecrisp is a one-time $0.99 purchase. The PDF has no watermark, ever. No image leaves the phone. WHAT YOU GET - A flat, fast, single-screen experience: a grid of every scan you've made, with a fat gold Scan button. - Apple's professional document camera (the same one in Notes) for sharp edge detection and automatic de-skew. - On-device OCR using Apple Vision - multilingual, accurate-mode, with a transparent searchable text layer baked into every PDF. - A clean PDF preview with native PDFKit, plus a system share sheet so you can send the file anywhere - Mail, Files, Messages, AirDrop, or a print queue. - A welcome document on first launch that demonstrates the loop without making you scan a real page first. - Confidence percentages per page so you know how clean the OCR is before you share. - Rename, delete, and copy-text-to-clipboard from any page. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pagecrisp has no account, no analytics, no tracking, and no developer backend. Every page image and every PDF lives in your app's private folder on this device. The OCR runs on-device using Apple Vision. The PrivacyInfo manifest declares only the standard UserDefaults and FileManager reason codes Apple requires. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pagecrisp is a single $0.99 purchase. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. The features above are the whole product, forever. GREAT FOR - Receipts, leases, school forms, medical paperwork - anything you want as a clean, professional PDF without a "Scanned with [App]" stripe at the bottom. - Anyone who's tired of "the first 3 scans are free" sales pages. - Travelers and remote workers who want a scanner that does not need a network. - People who care that their paperwork stays on their phone. Open Pagecrisp, tap Scan, frame the page. That is the whole product. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1 — 2026-08-07 Improved readability and accessibility throughout scanning, OCR, document review, and PDF export. Layout refinements make dense document controls easier to use. ### 2.0 — 2026-06-24 Pagecrisp 2.0 — a pro upgrade for the privacy-first scanner, leaning into OCR text and ID/signing, still watermark-free and 100% offline. • Rich text export: save recognized text as Markdown or RTF, not just plain text. • Document Insights: word/character counts, reading time, on-device language detection and keywords, extractive key points, and read-aloud. • Business-card to Contacts: parse a scanned card and review before saving. • Auto file-naming from the OCR (doc type, headline, date). • Redaction: black-bar sensitive text (SSNs, cards via Luhn, emails) that's truly flattened into pixels. • Sign & date stamp with a hand-drawn signature, plus an ID/card combine mode (front + back on one page). Everything runs on-device with Apple frameworks — no watermark, no cloud, no account. ### 1.2 — 2026-06-16 Pagecrisp 1.2 adds document merge, image mode filters, tags, and sort. Merge documents. Tap the new merge icon (two overlapping pages) in the toolbar when you have two or more scans. Check each document you want to combine, drag to set the order, give it a title, and Pagecrisp builds a single new PDF with all OCR layers preserved. Source documents are kept intact. Image mode filters. The naming sheet now shows an IMAGE MODE picker: Color (original), Grayscale (desaturated), and Black & White (high-contrast via CoreImage). Black & White sharpens printed receipts and forms considerably - try it. Set a library-wide default in Settings -> Scanning -> Default image mode. Tag any document. Open a scan, tap the ... menu, and choose Tags. Type a tag name (Receipts, Lease, Medical, Tax 2025 - whatever makes sense) and tap Add. A scrollable chip strip above the home grid lets you tap one tag to show only those documents. Suggested tags from your other documents appear in the editor for quick reuse. Sort your library. Order documents by newest first, oldest first, title A-Z, title Z-A, or most pages from the toolbar sort menu. The choice persists across launches. Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no subscription. ### 1.1 — 2026-06-14 Pagecrisp 1.1 adds three features users asked for most. Search your scans. Tap the magnifying glass on the home screen to search across every document title and every line of recognized text — instantly, on-device, no index required. Edit pages in any document. Open a scan, tap the menu, and choose "Edit pages" to drag pages into a new order or swipe to delete a page you don't need. The PDF and OCR text rebuild automatically. Export recognized text as a .txt file. If a document has OCR text, "Export text (.txt)" appears in the menu. Tap it to get a plain-text file you can paste into Word, email, or a spreadsheet — no copy-paste juggling. Everything stays on your device. No subscriptions, no cloud, no account. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-10 No release notes. ## More apps by Robert Corbin - [Daily Word Journey](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-word-journey/id6761548266) - [Hush Secret Text](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hush-secret-text/id6761658175) - [Renew Guard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/renew-guard/id6761755447) - [Receipt to PDF](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/receipt-to-pdf/id6761782025) - [Route Your Pay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/route-your-pay/id6761783719) - [Tip Arbiter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tip-arbiter/id6761786879) All apps by Robert Corbin: https://appshunter.io/developer/1890247992 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
