PDF Scanner vs Banora

Lumi is the privacy-first PDF Scanner for iPhone. Open the app, point at any document, and Lumi auto-captures, dewarps, and saves a clean scan — all on your device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE LUMI PDF SCANNER Truly on-device. Unlike every other PDF Scanner you've tried, Lumi has no server. Your scans never leave your iPhone — there's nothing to upload, no account to sign in to, nothing for us to see. Auto-detect, instantly. Point your camera at a document and Lumi locks on. Hold steady for half a second and the scan happens — no shutter to press, no edges to drag. Crystal-clear results. Built on Apple's Vision framework, every PDF Scanner result is perspective-corrected (dewarped), exposure-balanced, and sharpened to make text leap off the page. Smart manual controls. If auto-detect misses, tap the shutter button. Want to scan a screenshot or an old photo? The Photos picker imports any image and Lumi treats it like a fresh scan. EVERYTHING A MODERN PDF SCANNER SHOULD DO Multi-page documents — Capture page after page; Lumi groups them into one document and exports a single, sorted PDF. Tap Finish when you're done. OCR text recognition — Pull selectable, searchable text out of any scan. Works on printed pages, handwriting, and stylized fonts. OCR runs locally with Apple's on-device intelligence — no server, no API calls, no content ever leaves the device. Live Text everywhere — Open any scan in History. Pinch to zoom, select text directly on the image, copy it, look it up, or translate it. Just like iOS Notes, baked into every Lumi scan. Merge to one PDF — Pick any number of scans from your History, tap Merge to PDF, and Lumi combines them into a single document, sorted by date, ready to share via the iOS share sheet. Edit Text — Cover any printed text with a tap-and-drag rectangle and type a replacement. Perfect for fixing a typo, redacting a name, or correcting a misread scan. Sharp filter for text-heavy pages — Brings the words forward without losing color, like a high-quality photocopy. B&W filter creates a clean monochrome look. Use whichever matches the document. Crop, Rotate, Mirror — Drag corners to trim black edges. Rotate left, right, or mirror in one tap. Even fix a sideways A4 capture after the fact. PRIVACY IS THE WHOLE POINT Most PDF Scanner apps quietly upload your documents to "AI servers" or "cloud OCR services." Lumi doesn't. Camera frames are processed in-memory using Apple's Vision and Core Image. The final JPEG is stored only in Lumi's private sandbox on your iPhone. OCR runs on-device. PDF export happens on-device. The only network calls Lumi ever makes are to Apple's StoreKit, when you choose to subscribe.

An app that puts one handwritten style note card right on your Lock Screen. You see it every time you pick up your phone, so the things you wrote down are the things you actually remember. "It was on my list..." You wrote a list, left it in a notes app, and then forgot the list along with everything on it. Does that sound familiar? Banora keeps your note on your Lock Screen, the place you look at dozens of times a day. ■ Start Writing Right Away When you open Banora, your card is already there with the keyboard ready. There are zero taps between opening the app and typing. Everything saves automatically, so you can close the app as soon as you're done and not worry about it. ■ Tick Things Off Without Opening the App Turn your note into a checklist and check items off directly on your Lock Screen. You don't need to unlock your phone or open the app. Each checked item gets a real line drawn through it and the text is dimmed, live on the card. It works well for a shopping list, today's tasks, or anything you want to get through. ■ Sixty Papers Choose from sixty papers in twelve hues, each with five depths from light to deep. Pick the one that looks best with your wallpaper. ■ Twelve Typefaces There are eleven handwriting styles that make your note feel like you wrote it by hand, and one clean sans serif if you prefer something simple. ■ Draw With Your Finger You can draw on the card too. Underline what matters, circle something, or add a small sketch. Choose your own ink colors, and they adjust automatically so your drawing stays readable on every paper. ■ Add Photos Add up to six photos to a note. Keep a picture of the exact product you need to buy, or a photo that simply makes you smile. ■ Note History Your past notes are saved in a history, so you can look back at what you wrote anytime. ■ Your Notes Stay Private Your notes, photos, and drawings never touch our servers. By default, your notes back up to your own private iCloud, and you can turn that off in the settings. No one but you can read your notes. ■ No Account Required You can start writing right after installing. There is no registration, and you don't have to enter any personal information. Sign in with Apple is available if you want it, but it's optional. ■ Contact Website: https://banora.dev Terms of Use: https://banora.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://banora.dev/privacy Banora is made by one developer in Germany, for everyone who writes things down and still forgets.
