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.

Your calendar manages your schedule. Annidiem remembers the days for you. If you think you're a bit ahead of the curve, this one's for you. Birthdays, weddings, exams, trips, the day your baby arrived, the day you moved in — the days that matter deserve better than a crowded calendar. Some are still ahead of you. Some already happened. Either way, they deserve somewhere to stay. Flip the bottom-right corner of a card and it turns over into that day's own record. You don't have to wait for the day itself — write while you're looking forward to it, while you miss it, or the moment it crosses your mind: photos, thoughts, voice memos, short videos, each one stamped with the place and weather of that moment. No folders to create, no "where should this photo go" — it belongs to a day, so it stays with that day. If you remember which day it was, you'll find it again. And when the same day comes round again, every year keeps its own: this year never mixes with last. When a day is no longer in focus, put it away — not throw it out. It leaves your home screen and stops reminding you, while the diary and photos stay, ready to bring back. Life gets simpler. The memories don't have to. - TALK TO THIS DAY — flip a card over for that day's own record; write whenever it comes to you - ARCHIVE — put days that no longer need your attention away, without deleting anything - CARD WALL — big countdown numbers for every day that matters - TICKING MOMENTS — live days/hours/minutes/seconds; past days keep counting up: 1000 days together, 90 days smoke-free, day 300 of the project - WEEK & DAY OF YEAR — which week and day of the year today is, at a glance - PHOTO COVERS — pick a photo for a date and the card becomes its face - ON THIS DAY — the days that happened on today's date in past years surface on their own - DYNAMIC ISLAND — pin any day to your Dynamic Island - WIDGETS — gradient cards, Lock Screen widgets, and a large widget that shows your next five days - ERA OF DAYS — one 3D timeline for all your days: days with photos stand along the road, tap one to fly in - APPLE WATCH SYNC — a glance at your wrist: watch app and watch face complications, updated from your iPhone - TAKE A BREATHER — the screen dims, and the fireworks begin - WORTH SHARING — five share card styles: gradient, minimal, poster, midnight, photo - ANY RHYTHM — daily, weekly, monthly, or an interval you set yourself; paydays and bill days stay in step - FIND ANY DAY — search titles, notes, even "August"; filter to this month, the next 30 days, or what's already past - ASK SIRI — "how many days until New Year?" works, and so do Shortcuts and system search - REMINDERS YOUR WAY — the day itself, or 1/3/7/14/30 days ahead, at a time you choose - TYPE DAYS, GET DATES — enter "100 days" and the date computes itself - FACE ID LOCK — auto-lock in background; some days are yours alone - CALENDAR BRIDGE — import from system Calendar; export .ics/JSON to iCloud Drive - ICLOUD SYNC — sign in to iCloud and every device stays in sync - DATE CALCULATOR — days from birth to today, or today to payday; days between dates, business days, and more - ON-DEVICE AI BLESSINGS — Apple Intelligence writes personalized blessings, fully offline (iPhone 15 Pro or later) One-time purchase · No subscription · No ads · Collects no data — your data stays on your device and in your own private iCloud database, and everything works offline.
