## What is SignaScan?

Sign documents the way you actually sign them — with your own signature, on your iPhone, in seconds.
No account. No subscription. Nothing leaves your device unless you switch on iCloud sync.

Rental agreement, school form, consent slip, quote, notice of termination: open it, put your signature on it, send it back. The printer stays off.

SIGNING
• Draw your signature with a finger or Apple Pencil
• Or type it — four handwriting styles to pick from
• Or photograph a signature you already have and use it as a stamp
• Save signatures and reuse them (Pro)
• Place, drag and scale freely, several per page if a form asks for it
• Nothing is burned in: your signature stays a layer you can move or take off again
• Add a date stamp, checkmarks and text (Pro)
• Sign and send in one go

DEADLINES — the part signing apps leave out
• SignaScan reads the deadline out of the document
• One tap turns it into a reminder, 30 / 7 / 1 day ahead
• An overview of what is overdue, due soon and scheduled
• Export to Calendar or Reminders (Pro)
Invoice due dates, passport expiry, insurance cut-offs: you stop finding out too late.

SCANNING
• Document scan with automatic edge detection
• Import photos and PDFs
• Re-crop and correct perspective at any point
• Profiles for photo, document, contrast, greyscale and black & white
• Multi-page, no page limit

INTELLIGENCE, ON THE DEVICE
• Text recognition in a long list of languages
• Picks out document type, sender, amounts, IBANs and contacts
• Suggests a file name
• Full-text search across everything you scanned

ORDER AND SECURITY
• Folders, tags, search
• Documents are stored encrypted
• App lock with Face ID or Touch ID
• Optional iCloud Drive sync through your own Apple ID (Pro)
• One-time purchase, no subscription, no account

Free covers unlimited documents, folders, tags and deadline reminders, plus 10 OCR pages and 5 analyses a month. Pro is bought once and lifts the limits, drops the export watermark and adds saved signatures and iCloud sync.

SignaScan produces a simple electronic signature for everyday paperwork — the kind you would otherwise print, sign and scan back in. It is not an identity or certification service.

One person builds this, in Germany. No ads, no tracking, no sign-up. The contact address is in the imprint and I read every message.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-19

This release turns SignaScan into a signing app that also scans, instead of the other way round.

• Signing is now the main action on a document, not a menu entry
• Exporting a signed PDF no longer freezes the app — compositing moved off the main thread, and long documents stay responsive
• Dates and amounts now follow the language you picked inside the app. English text with German dates is gone, and notifications no longer mix two languages in one sentence
• Currency amounts were formatted for Germany in every country — fixed for all 36 languages
• Buttons in dark mode were close to unreadable: white on light teal measured 2.5:1. Every primary button, the scan tile, the active editor tool and the badges now use a legible ink
• A failed export could leave a second copy of your signature behind
• New App Store screenshots that show what the app actually does now

### 1.3 — 2026-07-30

• Deadlines in your documents get detected — track one in a tap and get reminded before it's due
• Now free: unlimited documents, folders and tags — plus deadline reminders
• Re-crop any page anytime, even ones without a saved original
• Sharper edge detection for receipts and long documents
• Reliability and polish fixes
