The Nimco Tools is an App built to support our clients in choosing the leathers for ordering Nimco Made4You shoes. This app will present the full range of leathers, linings and textile materials necessary to order your custom-made shoes. Once you open the App, the complete range is presented in alphabetical order by reference, side by side with a small thumbnail picture. When you enter a reference, you access a description of type, color, thickness, important remarks and the best maintenance practices. On this product sheet you can also see a clearer and bigger image that can also be zoomed in. You can filter the complete list by color, thickness of the material and type of leather recommendations for your best convenience when choosing leathers. The App has a compare function that enables you to compare 2 references side by side. Additionally, you can “save” your preferred references in your favorites list. Another interesting feature are the “color palettes”. These are suggestions for the best material combinations from Nimco’s most recent collection book. This app is available for free. It is made for web, mobile and works offline.

FairScan turns your iPhone into a fast, private document scanner. Point, capture, and get a clean, searchable PDF — kept on your device, where it belongs to you. FairScan is built privacy-first: your pages are scanned and their text is recognised entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework. Your documents are never uploaded. There's no account to create and no cloud to trust. NEW IN 1.8 - Searchable PDFs: the text in your scans is stored inside the PDF, so you can search it in Files, Preview and Mail. - ID card mode: scan the front and back of a card onto one page, printable at actual size. - Password-protected PDFs: lock a copy with a password before you share it. - Quick scan from your Lock Screen, Control Center (iOS 18), the Action Button or Siri. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to capture — edge detection frames the page automatically. 2. Adjust — crop, straighten and enhance for a crisp scan. 3. Save — a multi-page PDF, ready to share. ON-DEVICE PRIVACY - Scanning and text recognition (OCR) run locally on your iPhone. - No account, no sign-up, no cloud storage. - Your documents stay on your device unless you share them yourself. - App Lock keeps your library behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Scan multi-page documents into one PDF, or import PDFs and images from Files. - Organize documents into folders and search the text inside every scan. - Sign documents with your finger. - Redact sensitive info — black boxes are burned permanently into the PDF. - Merge, compress and reorder pages. - Share to Files, Mail, Messages or any app you like. START FREE, THEN CHOOSE WHAT FITS Keep up to 10 documents free — no account, no sign-up. When you need unlimited documents and the full toolkit, choose what suits you: - A monthly plan. - A yearly plan. - A one-time lifetime purchase if you'd rather own it for good. Prices are shown clearly in the app before you commit. Some tools require FairScan Pro. HONEST NOTE FairScan is a productivity and document tool. It is not a substitute for professional, legal, or medical advice, and automatic text recognition may not be perfect — always double-check important documents. SUPPORT Questions or feedback?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nimco Tools at none against FairScan's 3. Nimco Tools also leads on iOS requirement (14 vs 17.0). FairScan's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
