## What is Scn3R?

Scn3R is the smart document scanner for iPhone. No subscription, no account, no tracking. Everything runs on your device.

• Scan in seconds with automatic edge detection, perspective correction and multi-page support
• Offline text recognition (OCR) — every document fully searchable, with fast in-app full-text search that highlights the match. Your documents stay private and are never exposed to system-wide search
• Edit pages: adjust brightness, contrast and color, or apply Color / Grayscale / B&W — fully reversible, because the original scan is always kept
• Reorder pages with a drag, reset to the original scan order, and merge several scans into one document (split them again anytime)
• Receipts & invoices: amount, merchant, date and category captured automatically
• Scan ID cards and passports — name, number and expiry are read straight from the MRZ (fully on-device, no NFC, no identity verification)
• Add a hand-drawn signature directly onto a page — recolor or remove it anytime
• On-device AI: summarize a document and translate its text, in your language (Apple Intelligence)
• Export searchable PDFs with an embedded text layer; choose the PDF page size (Automatic or A-series); export tables to CSV; password-protect PDFs; or save as JPG/PNG
• File into your own self-hosted Paperless-ngx server, or export to WebDAV / Nextcloud — manually or automatically
• App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode
• Interface available in 14 languages

Optional: Scn3R Plus (one-time purchase, no subscription) adds an AI assistant that answers questions about your documents with sources, warranty & contract tracking with reminders, and automatic Paperless-ngx syncing. Scanning, OCR, summaries, page editing and export all stay free.

Private by design: text recognition, AI and all processing happen only on your iPhone. Your documents never leave your device.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-08

New in this version:

• Crop and rotate pages after scanning – upside-down scans are straightened automatically. The original scan is kept and every edit is reversible.
• Stamps & notes: “Paid”, today's date, your own text or an arrow – move them, recolour them, remove them any time. And they're searchable: searching for “Paid” finds every receipt you stamped.
• Select and copy text directly on the scan, tap phone numbers and links.
• File onto a NAS in your home network: FRITZ!NAS, Synology, QNAP or any SMB share. New scans can land there automatically – away from home they're remembered and caught up later.

Everything still runs entirely on your device. One-time purchase, no subscription.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-11

New in this version:
• Your Paperless-ngx server, fully browsable: browse, search and filter right inside Scn3R by tag, correspondent and document type, sorted by date, title or recently added.
• Tags on every document — tap to filter. Documents already on your device are hidden so you only see what's new.
• Built for big archives: server-side filtering and paged loading, even with thousands of documents.
• Share to import: send PDFs and photos to Scn3R from any app.
• Deadlines to Calendar: add warranty, cancellation or ID expiry with one tap.
Everything still runs entirely on your device. One-time purchase, no subscription.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-02

New in this version:
• Backup & Restore: back up all your documents, pages and folders to an encrypted, password-protected file — and restore them on this or a new device.
• You stay in full control: keep the backup wherever you like (Files, iCloud Drive or your own cloud).
• Safe restore: existing documents stay untouched — nothing is overwritten or deleted.

Everything still runs entirely on your device. One-time purchase, no subscription.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-28

New in this version:
• Highlighter: mark important passages in colour (four colours) – visible in the app and in exports, removable anytime.
• Zoom: pinch to zoom in the full‑screen page view and in the editors (redaction & highlighter) for precise placement.
• Smart folders: filters for Favorites, Receipts, "Due soon" and not‑yet‑filed documents.
• Select and merge several documents faster — via "Select multiple".

Everything still runs entirely on your device. One‑time purchase, no subscription.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-25

New in this version:

• Redaction: black out sensitive details on any page. The original scan is always kept and the redaction can be removed anytime. It's applied whenever you share, print or export — including in the searchable text layer — so blacked-out content never leaves your device.
• Paperless workflow tag: add an optional tag so your Paperless-ngx server can recognize documents uploaded from Scn3R and route them automatically.
• Exported PDFs now carry no identifying metadata, plus smaller fixes and refinements.

Everything still runs entirely on your device. One-time purchase, no subscription.
