GlobalScan Pro turns your camera into a smart, multilingual document scanner — not just a photo, but real, editable text. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most scanner apps just save a picture.

MULTILINGUAL BY DESIGN Recognizes English, Turkish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, and many more languages — including documents that mix left-to-right and right-to-left text on the same page. Language is detected automatically; you don't have to select anything. HOW IT WORKS - Scan with your camera, or import from your photo gallery or Files - On-device text recognition detects headings, paragraphs, and reading order - Edit the recognized text directly if anything needs a touch-up - Export to Word (.docx) or PDF, ready to share or print PRIVACY FIRST Text recognition runs entirely on your device. Your documents are never uploaded to a server just to be read. PERFECT FOR - Students digitizing lecture notes or textbook pages - Professionals converting printed contracts and forms into editable documents - Anyone who needs to turn a photographed page into real, searchable, editable text One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account required.

FocusDriver is a focus app that turns the Pomodoro timer into a simulated driving experience. It won’t lock your phone or monitor whether you leave the app. Instead, FocusDriver takes a different approach to focus: giving every session a destination you can see — and a reason to keep going. ◆ Turn Focus Into a Journey Choose a trip and start driving. As time passes, your car moves steadily toward its destination, while you move closer to the goal you set for yourself. You can stop at any time. But if you choose to keep going a little longer, your destination is just ahead. ◆ Experience Six Cities with iOS 27 Flyover Travel through Shanghai, Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, London, and Berlin, with a different focus journey waiting in every city. FocusDriver brings the Flyover experience in iOS 27 into your focus sessions. See cities, landmarks, and streets from above as your car makes its way toward the destination. Abstract focus time becomes a journey you can actually see. ◆ Complete Trips and Earn Rewards Complete trips to earn credits. Stay focused, build up your credits, and unlock vehicles in different styles. Every vehicle represents time you chose to spend with intention, and every arrival marks another goal you followed through on. ◆ Understand Your Focus Review your focus time, sessions, and trends by day, week, month, year, or across your entire history. Go beyond simply knowing how long you focused. Discover when you find it easiest to get into the zone and how your focus habits change over time. ◆ Designed for iPhone FocusDriver is designed to feel at home on iPhone. Check your focus status with widgets. Follow your current trip with Live Activities and Dynamic Island even after leaving the app. On supported devices, StandBy keeps your ongoing journey visible as part of your everyday space.
