Scanly is a private document scanner for iPhone. Capture paper documents into clean PDFs, recognise text on-device, search your local scan library, and export through the iOS share sheet. It is built for receipts, invoices, leases, clinic receipts, travel packets, school forms, and any document you need to find again later. What you can do: - Scan single or multi-page packets with Apple's document camera on a real iPhone - Save local PDFs with page count, file size, and creation date - Recognise text on-device so names, invoice numbers, amounts, and terms are searchable - Preview PDFs and recognised text before exporting - Share PDFs to Files, Mail, AirDrop, print, or any iOS destination - Use sample packets in the simulator when camera hardware is unavailable - Keep documents private by default: no account, no ads, no analytics SDK, no cloud upload Scanly Pro unlocks searchable PDF export and advanced scanner workflow tools. Subscriptions are handled by Apple and can be managed from Apple ID subscriptions. Your documents stay on your device unless you choose to share them. Scanly Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in Apple ID subscription settings.
