ScanBox vs Duo Trackpad

Scan only the text you want, frame it with a resizable scan box, tap once, and copy it. No wall of text to clean up. Works on camera, photos and screenshots, entirely on your iPhone. ScanBox gives you a scan box you can drag and resize. Put it over a price, a serial number, a single paragraph or a QR code, tap once, and just that is ready to use. WHAT'S NEW IN 1.3 • QR codes and barcodes: ScanBox reads codes inside the scan box, from the camera and from photos. Each code gets a Copy button, and web links get a tap-to-Open button • Search your history, ignoring case and accents • Tap phone numbers, links, addresses and dates in your results to call, open, map or add them • Edit captured text before you copy it; your edits are saved to history • Read aloud with the on-device system voice • Share sheet: choose "ScanBox" from Photos, Files or Safari images to read the text and copy it all, without opening the app. Scans from the share sheet are not saved to history • Shortcuts: the "Extract Text from Image" action (iOS 16 or later) • A simpler 3-step first-run guide TWO WAYS TO SCAN Camera: point at a menu, label, receipt, book page, sign or QR code. Move and resize the scan box to frame exactly what you need. Pinch to zoom from 1x to 6x and switch on the torch in dim light. Photos: import any picture or screenshot from your library. The same scan box appears over the image (it starts on the whole image) so you can narrow it to one line before you capture. WHY SCANBOX • Scan box: drag, resize and capture only what is inside it • Image to text from Photos and screenshots • QR code and barcode reading • Live camera scanning with torch and pinch-to-zoom (1x to 6x) • 13 OCR languages: English (US/UK), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian and Ukrainian (these four need iOS 16 or later) • Optional auto-copy: turn it on in Settings to send text to your clipboard the moment it is read • Fast Mode for quick, everyday scans • Copy or share the result to Messages, Mail, Notes or any app • Local scan history with search, swipe to delete and Clear All • Haptics you can switch off • Tiny download - no bloat PRIVATE BY DESIGN ScanBox collects nothing. There is no account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs and no network requests. Text is recognised on your device with Apple's Vision framework, and read aloud with the on-device system voice. Photos and camera frames are never saved or uploaded, and your history stays in the app's private storage on your iPhone. It works in airplane mode. GREAT FOR Receipts, menus, product labels, ingredient lists, serial numbers, price tags, business cards, street signs, whiteboards, book passages, neatly handwritten notes, QR codes, barcodes, and text inside screenshots - anything you would otherwise retype by hand. Free. No subscription. No sign-in.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a trackpad and customizable control center for your Mac. Point, click, scroll, and drag with familiar touch gestures. Then make the surface your own: keep your favorite Mac apps, Shortcuts, media controls, and quick actions within reach. BUILD YOUR OWN CONTROL SURFACE Create named layouts for work, creativity, presentations, or relaxing with music. Arrange and resize buttons on the surface or in its toolbars. Customize button colors and symbols, and choose when mouse-button labels appear. Switch layouts with a button, through Shortcuts, or automatically when your device changes orientation or enters a supported iPhone Duo pose. YOUR MAC, ONE TAP AWAY Launch Mac applications and run your Mac's Shortcuts from dedicated buttons. Navigate the Mac app switcher, switch to another app, or hide and quit apps without reaching for your keyboard. Capture your Mac's entire screen, a selected area, or a window, saving it on the Mac or copying it to its clipboard. PLAYBACK AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Add playback buttons, a volume slider, or a larger media control panel. Optional Apple Music access brings song information and playback state to the surface. A separate microphone button mutes and unmutes your Mac's default input on supported devices. FAMILIAR GESTURES, YOUR STYLE Move the pointer with one finger and scroll with two. Click and hold to drag, or use Premium gestures for three-finger dragging, page navigation, Mission Control, app windows, Spaces, and pinch to zoom in supported Mac apps. Choose Matte Aluminum, Satin Plastic, Leather, Woven Fabric, or Silicone, with touch impressions that bring each surface to life. Supported iPhones also offer optional haptic feedback for controls. START FREE, MAKE IT YOURS WITH PREMIUM Pointer movement, tap clicks, and scrolling are free. Premium unlocks custom layouts and buttons, advanced gestures, additional surface styles, and more pointer adjustments. The Mac receiver is free to use. CONNECT TO YOUR MAC Install Duo Trackpad on both devices. Connect over Bluetooth or your local Wi-Fi network. The Mac companion stays in your menu bar and guides you through pointer-control permissions. Selecting Mac apps and Shortcuts requires Wi-Fi; saved buttons also work over Bluetooth. Update both companion apps to use the latest features. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later and macOS 26 or later. Apple Music and Mac Shortcuts integrations require optional permissions on your Mac. Microphone mute depends on the input device and does not change a meeting app's own mute setting.
