Your documents never leave your phone. Point your camera, and paper becomes a clean PDF that is never uploaded to anyone. Don't believe it? Turn on airplane mode and watch Scanner keep working — because nothing is ever sent anywhere. That's the difference from the other scanners: your IDs, contracts, medical forms and receipts stay private, because they physically never leave the device. No watermark on the output. No account to create. No ads. No subscription nag. WHY BARO BEATS THE OTHER SCANNERS • Nothing uploaded — works fully in airplane mode, verify it yourself. • No watermark stamped on your PDF. Ever. • No account, no sign-in, no email harvesting. • No ads, no subscription, no surprise paywall. WHAT IT DOES • Scan anything — live edge detection and perspective correction capture a crisp, straightened page: receipts, contracts, IDs, notes, forms, mail. • Import photos — already have the shot? Turn photos on your phone into the same clean PDF, without opening the camera. • Multi-page PDFs — add as many pages as you need and save them as one clean PDF. Reorder, retake or remove a page with a single tap. • Color, Grayscale or Black & White — pick the look that makes text sharpest and keeps files small. • Local library — every scan lives only on this phone. Open, rename, share or delete. No cloud, no sync. • Lock your documents — put Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode in front of your library. Off by default, and the check happens entirely on this phone: the app only ever gets a yes or a no. • Share anywhere — send your PDF to Mail, Messages, Notes or any app in one tap, straight from the save confirmation. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY Zero analytics. Zero telemetry. Zero third-party SDKs. No network code at all. Turn on airplane mode and scan — everything still works, because nothing is ever sent anywhere. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected," and you can prove it. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Scanner makes sharp image PDFs. It does not add a searchable OCR text layer yet, and there is no cloud backup or sync — both are intentionally absent, not coming "for a fee." Imported photos get the filters and the PDF, but not the edge detection and perspective correction — those happen at capture time, in the camera. We'd rather promise less and keep every promise. MADE TO BE EASY Every button is large and easy to hit. High-contrast AMOLED dark screen. Big, bold text. No double-taps, no hidden gestures — just Scan and Library. MADE FOR Anyone scanning an ID, a signed contract or a medical form who refuses to upload it. Receipts and expense reports. Student notes and handouts. Anyone who values privacy, simplicity and no watermarks. NO SUBSCRIPTION No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads, no account. That's the whole deal. Part of the Baro family — The tools you reach for first.
EV Range

The real-world range of your electric car. Most drivers do not use their battery from 0% to 100% in everyday driving. EV Range calculates the distance you can actually travel within the battery range you choose, for example from 20% to 80%. Enter your average consumption to estimate your real-world range based on your vehicle and driving conditions. The calculation can take into account: • the usable battery capacity; • the estimated battery degradation; • the outside temperature, detected automatically from your location or entered manually; • your average consumption. See at a glance how far you can travel with 5%, 10%, 20% or 30% battery. You can also estimate the battery percentage required to travel 10, 25, 50 or 100 km. CHARGING TIME AND COST Select the initial battery level and the desired level, then enter the charging power to estimate the required charging time. For DC fast charging, use the average charging power rather than the advertised maximum power, as charging speed varies throughout the session. Enter the price per kWh and, if necessary, the per-minute fee charged by the operator. EV Range will calculate the estimated total charging cost. You can also see at a glance the estimated time and cost required to add 10%, 25% or 50% battery. VEHICLES Select your electric car from the list of available models or add a custom vehicle. EV Range can use the vehicle’s usable battery capacity and WLTP range to simplify your estimates. CARPLAY View your vehicle’s main range information directly in CarPlay. Some features require the Premium version. Apple’s standard terms of use apply: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
