Skanae turns your iPhone into a private, on-device document scanner — no cloud processing, no account, no tracking. Its on-device AI automatically organizes every scan into the right category for you. Every scan, every word of OCR text, and every classification decision happens entirely on your device. Files go only to the storage you turn on in Settings. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO SKANAE • Auto-organize, not just scan — AI sorts invoices, receipts, contracts, and IDs into the right category automatically • On-device OCR — reads each document so the AI can name and categorize it automatically • Learns your habits — correct a category once and Skanae remembers your preference next time • Smart auto-naming — scans get clear, descriptive names, not "Scan001.pdf" • Works offline — after a one-time AI model download, scan on a plane, in a basement, anywhere • Sync only where you choose — iCloud, local storage, OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox KEY FEATURES • Edge-detection scanning with automatic cropping and perspective correction • Multi-page scans combined into a single, clean PDF • On-device OCR (Apple Vision) reads each document for AI naming and classification (Pro) • On-device AI classification auto-sorts documents into categories: invoices, receipts, contracts, IDs, and more (Pro) • Smart, descriptive file naming based on what's actually in the document (Pro) • On-device learning — Skanae adapts as you correct and refine how documents are organized (Pro) • Custom categories that match how you actually work • Multi-cloud export: iCloud Drive, local files, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox — your choice in Settings • Clean, fast, distraction-free scanning flow built for iOS and iPadOS PERFECT FOR • Freelancers and small-business owners scanning receipts and invoices • Professionals digitizing contracts and paperwork • Students organizing notes, forms, and ID documents • Anyone who wants a paperless, organized digital filing cabinet — without handing their documents to a server YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE READ AND SORTED ON YOUR DEVICE Skanae was built privacy-first, from the ground up. OCR runs on Apple Vision, on-device. Document classification runs on a local AI model, on-device. There's no account to create, no sign-up, no analytics tracking what you scan, and no Skanae server that ever sees your documents. Files go only to the storage you turn on in Settings — iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox — or stay local. SYNC YOUR WAY Skanae doesn't lock you into one ecosystem. Connect the cloud storage you already use: • iCloud Drive • Local, on-device storage only • OneDrive (Pro) • Google Drive (Pro) • Dropbox (Pro) Turn on only the storage you want in Settings — or keep everything local. Download Skanae and turn every scan into an organized, private document — automatically. Skanae is free to download. Scanning, multi-page PDF export, and saving to local storage or iCloud are free. AI organization — on-device OCR, automatic categorization, smart file names, and learning from your corrections — plus OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox export require Skanae Pro, an auto-renewable subscription.
