NativeScan
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your phone, now a document hub. NativeScan turns your camera into a smart scanner — and your library into a place you can actually find things. Scan receipts, contracts, lecture notes, prescriptions, IDs, business cards. NativeScan handles edge detection, applies the right filter, and saves everything to your phone in seconds. Then the AI does the boring work for you. • AutoName — every scan gets a real title, written by AI. No more Scan_002_final_v3.pdf. • AutoSort (Pro) — smart folders for Receipts, Invoices, Contracts, Medical, Identity, Financial, Legal, Work, Personal. Walk away and find your scan in the right place. • Recall — your personal document AI. Ask anything: "What's the deductible on my dental plan?" "How much did I spend on coffee last quarter?" "Where's that warranty from December?" Recall reads your library and answers — no filenames, no folder hunting. • Key dates — NativeScan spots deadlines in your scans (bills, renewals, passport expiry, a date you jotted next to a task) and reminds you 3 days before and on the day. • ID photos — shoot a passport or visa photo and have head size, centring, lighting and tilt checked live against 8 official specs. Built for how you actually work. Non-destructive editing lets you re-crop, re-rotate, and re-filter without losing the original. Export as JPEG, PDF, or DOCX. Pro unlocks searchable PDFs and fully editable DOCX with embedded OCR text. Your documents stay on your phone. No NativeScan account. No login. No cloud library sync. Add a Face ID lock and your scans stay yours, even if someone has your unlocked phone. The on-device OCR runs locally. The AI features — AutoName, AutoSort, Recall, key-date detection and Recall’s suggested questions — send document text to a secure proxy for processing, which discards it after use. Free includes: • Unlimited scanning, JPEG and PDF export • Custom folders + on-device OCR search • Face ID lock • 5 AutoName + 3 Recall questions per week Pro ($9.99/year with 7-day free trial, or $1.99/week): • Unlimited AutoName + Recall • AutoSort smart folders • Searchable PDF export + editable DOCX export • Ad-free experience Designed and built by one indie developer in Toronto. Optimized for iOS 26 with native Liquid Glass UI. Questions or feedback? Tap Contact in Account. Terms of Use (EULA): https://native-dev.com/nativescan/terms

SMProxy is a client for connecting with your own configuration. One app across all your Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Your settings and server lists carry over, and the interface is the same everywhere. The app provides no VPN servers, contains no built-in connection and sells nothing. To get started, add a configuration you already have: paste a link, scan a QR code or enter the details by hand. Modern protocols are supported: VLESS, Reality, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, Hysteria, TUIC v5, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks and Socks. Smart routing Not all traffic needs the tunnel. You can set exclusions by domain, IP and subnet (CIDR) — so your banking app or local network goes direct, for example. Routing rules from your configuration apply automatically, and the bundled geoip and geosite databases let them take effect instantly. DNS protection DNS queries are kept inside the tunnel so they cannot leak around it. You can also enable DNS-over-HTTPS and point it at any resolver you like. Server lists under control Automatic server-list refresh with an interval you choose, refresh on app launch, and a button to refresh everything at once. Server groups can be collapsed when the list gets long. Features • Import a configuration by link, QR code or manually • Pick a server manually or automatically, with latency testing • Exclusions by domain, IP and subnet • DNS leak protection and DNS-over-HTTPS • TLS fragmentation for difficult networks • Local SOCKS and HTTP proxy for other apps • Light and dark themes • Daily traffic statistics • Auto-connect on launch • Runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV Privacy The app keeps no logs of your activity and shares no data with third parties. Your configuration stays on your device only. Website: https://smproxy.io
