Turn paper into clean, searchable PDFs, and let scandango keep track of it for you. Point the camera at a page and scandango finds the edges, straightens it, cleans it up and reads it, so your bills, letters and receipts tell you what they mean and when things are due. FREE, FOR GOOD • Scan single pages or whole documents, from the camera, Photos or Files. • Clean, straight pages: shadows evened out, text sharpened, and curved book pages flattened on iOS 27. • Smart names and key details from Apple Intelligence: "Electricity Bill, October 2026", with its dates and amounts. • Recipes ready to cook from: ingredients and method in large text, with ticks, and the screen kept on. • Search every word in every scan, from scandango or Spotlight. Make folders of your own, or Smart Folders that fill themselves. • Sign & Mark Up, Bill Reminders, and Expenses with totals and a spreadsheet. • Searchable PDFs, PNGs and text, PDF passwords, batch export, and Export Everything whenever you like. • iCloud Sync: your library on iPhone, iPad and Mac, through your own iCloud. And lock scandango with Face ID. SCANDANGO PRO: PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Tax tools: expenses by UK tax year and quarter, VAT and categories, exports for Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent, and a pack for your accountant. • Projects and expense claims: tag receipts to a client, job or trip, then send a claim with every receipt attached. • What's Due: bills to pay, replies, renewals, warranties and expiry dates from all your scans, with reminders and a widget. • Letters, explained: what a letter means in plain words, what to do and by when, and who to call. • Agreements, explained: the dates, costs and catches in a tenancy, contract or policy, and a reminder before you need to give notice. • Private Vault: passports, licenses and ID cards locked behind Face ID as you scan them, read on your device only, with every detail a tap to copy. Account numbers hidden when you share. • Shared Folders: share a folder of bills and letters with the people you live with, through iCloud. • Ask your paperwork: "When is the car insurance due?", answered from your own scans, with the page it came from. • Providers: bills grouped by who sent them, with a note when one goes up. • Filing rules, pile scanning, statement matching, and paper forms filled in with your details. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO, IPAD AND MAC Open iPhone Duo and scan on one side while your pages build up on the other. On iPad and Mac, your library sits in a sidebar beside the scan, with keyboard shortcuts, multiple selection and drag and drop. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing on our servers. Apple Intelligence can use Apple's Private Cloud Compute for better readings: a scan's text goes to Apple servers that keep nothing, images never leave your device, and you can turn it off. iCloud Sync uses your own iCloud, which we never see. scandango prepares records for your accounting software or accountant; it isn't tax advice or MTD software. Requires iOS 26 or later. Smart names, key details, recipes, letters, agreements and Ask need a device with Apple Intelligence.
