About
No ads ever. No data tracking. No account creation.
Paperweight scans your paperwork and keeps it on your phone, and only on your phone. The app contains no application networking code and never uploads your documents. Apple handles the optional purchase.
SCAN
• Multi-page scanning with automatic edge detection, cropping and cleanup
• Add pages to a document any time, or import photos from your library
FIND
• Text on every page is read on your device, automatically
• Search across titles and the text inside your scans
• Copy the text from any page
ORGANIZE
• Rename documents, and reorder, rotate or delete pages
• Simple, fast library with thumbnails
SHARE AND EXPORT
• Export to PDF: original size, A4 or Letter
• Export the text as a plain .txt file
• Share through any app you choose, or save to Files
LOCK WHAT MATTERS
• Optional app lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
• Lock individual documents with a passphrase. Their pages and text are encrypted on your phone (AES-256)
• Forget the passphrase and nobody can open that document, including us
BACK UP YOUR WAY
• One backup file with every document, page and its text
• Save it wherever you like: iCloud Drive, another Files provider or your device
• Optional passphrase protection (AES-256). If you forget it, nobody can open that backup, including us
• Optional reminders to back up
FAIR PRICING
• Free for 7 days with every feature
• Then a single $1.99 in-app purchase unlocks it for good. No subscription, ever
• If you don't buy, nothing is held hostage: you can still view, search, export, share and back up everything you scanned
PRIVACY, PLAINLY
• No account, sign-in or email
• No ads, analytics, crash reporting or tracking SDKs
• No application networking code
• Your documents live in the app's private storage until you share or back them up
Scanning uses Apple VisionKit and text recognition uses Apple Vision, on this device. You can also import photos.
