Pluck

Tap the paper. Pluck is a smart document scanner that turns every scan into something you can use. Instead of a PDF that sits in your files, Pluck pulls out the phone numbers, emails, addresses, dates, and key info, ready to tap and act on. See a number on a bill? Tap to call. Address on a flyer? Tap for directions. Due date on a statement? Tap to add a reminder. No retyping. No switching apps. What Pluck does • Scans pages with your camera or imports PDFs and photos • Reads the text and finds the details that matter — phones, emails, links, addresses, dates, tracking numbers, any key info • Lets you tap any extracted item to act on it: call, email, navigate, copy, create a contact, set a reminder, open a link • Organizes everything with tags, stars, and search so nothing gets lost • Syncs your scans across iPhone and iPad through iCloud Why people use Pluck instead of a regular scanner Other scanners give you a picture. Pluck gives you the data inside the picture. Receipts you can search by amount. Bills with one-tap "pay" links. Business cards that become contacts in a tap. Long PDFs you can analyze a page at a time. Private by default No account required. No tracking. Your scans live in your iCloud, not on someone else's server. Stop scanning, never sign up. -- Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: http://privacy.pluck-app.com
