No more subscription traps, ads, or unnecessary data tracking. CleanScanner is the honest tool for your iPhone: A minimalist PDF scanner that does exactly what it should – and nothing else. I developed CleanScanner because I wanted an app that doesn't try to upload my data to a cloud or force monthly costs on me. CleanScanner is 100% local, 100% private, and focused on the essentials. Why CleanScanner? + Full Privacy: Your documents are never processed on external servers. Everything happens directly on your iPhone. + No Data Clutter: The app doesn't permanently store your PDFs. After scanning, YOU decide via the iOS share dialog where the document goes (e.g., iCloud Drive, Files app, email, or messenger). + Simplicity: Open, scan, share. No login, no setup, no frills. Core Features: + High-quality document scans with automatic edge detection. + Export as PDF in seconds. + Uses the native iOS share dialog for maximum flexibility. + Smart image optimization for perfect readability. Honest & Transparent: Free vs. Pro: CleanScanner is free to use so you can experience the quality yourself. If you like the app, you can remove all limitations with a one-time purchase. Free Basic Version: + Create documents with up to 3 pages. + Share your PDFs easily with other apps.
