CranScan is a document scanner that respects you: no account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking. Scanning and text recognition run entirely on your device. Pay once, own it forever. SCAN • Point your camera at any document or receipt — CranScan finds it, crops it and fixes the perspective • Drag the corner handles for a perfect manual crop • Color, Grayscale and crisp Black & White filters • Combine multiple pages into one document • Or import photos you already have READ — 100% on-device OCR • Local text recognition in Cyrillic (Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian) and Latin scripts — nothing is uploaded • Works with crumpled receipts, slanted photos, sideways pages — CranScan straightens and rotates automatically • Recognition runs in the background; you get a notification when your document is ready • Add extra language packs on demand — you choose when to download them RECEIPTS, ITEMS & ANALYTICS • Receipt mode extracts the merchant, date and total automatically • Line items are pulled out too, and each receipt is sorted into a spending category • The Items screen totals your spending by month, by category and by merchant — all computed locally • Auto-tagging: set keyword rules ("lidl" → #groceries) and stay organized without lifting a finger • Export all receipts and items as a CSV spreadsheet OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE AI • On supported devices you can download an optional AI model that reads even messy receipts more accurately — and it still runs fully on your device, offline ORGANIZE & EXPORT • Folders, tags, and full-text search over everything you ever scanned • Category-colored library, quick filters, and a bin so nothing is deleted by accident • Export searchable PDFs (with an invisible text layer), JPEG, TXT and CSV • Your entire library is a plain folder on your device — back it up by copying it PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • Everything happens on-device: your documents, photos and receipt data never leave your phone • The only time CranScan uses the network is when you tap "Download" to fetch an optional language or AI pack — no documents, images or usage data are ever sent • No account, no subscription, no "premium" nagging: pay once, own forever
