Turn any paper document, receipt, ID card, or whiteboard into a clean, searchable PDF - right on your iPhone. Scanly scans, sharpens, signs, organizes, and recognizes text entirely on-device. Nothing is ever uploaded. FAST, SHARP SCANS - Capture pages with the camera, or import existing photos and PDFs. - Automatic edge detection and perspective correction straighten every page. - Manual crop editor with draggable corners, loupe magnifier, and pinch-to-zoom for pixel-perfect framing. - Enhancement filters clean up lighting and boost contrast for crisp, readable results. - Multi-page documents in one tap - reorder, retake, or delete pages before saving. - ID & card mode scans both sides of a card onto a single page. SEARCHABLE TEXT WITH ON-DEVICE OCR Scanly reads the text in your scans using Apple's on-device Vision engine - in multiple languages - and adds a searchable text layer to every PDF. Find any document later by the words inside it. QR codes in your scans are detected and ready to open or copy. SIGN & ANNOTATE Draw your signature once and place it on any page. Highlight, draw, and mark up scans with built-in annotation tools - everything stays in the PDF. ORGANIZED, PROTECTED, YOURS - Folders and tags keep hundreds of scans tidy; search finds them instantly. - Lock the app with Face ID so only you can open your documents. - Password-protect sensitive PDFs, compress large ones, or split a document into parts. - Print with AirPrint or save straight to the Files app. SMART EXTRAS - Scan a business card and add it to Contacts in one tap. - Turn a stack of receipts into a CSV you can open in Numbers or Excel. - Scanly works with Shortcuts, home-screen widgets, and the share sheet - send images or PDFs from any app straight into your library. NO WATERMARK. EVER. Your exported PDFs are clean and professional, with no stamps or watermarks - even on the free tier. Share to Mail, Messages, Files, or any app. 100% PRIVATE - BY DESIGN Everything runs locally. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no tracking. Scanly contains zero networking code - your documents and their contents stay on your device, always. HONEST, ONE-TIME PRICING Scanly is free to use and genuinely useful on its own. The free tier lets you keep up to 5 saved documents. Want unlimited documents and the full toolkit? Unlock Scanly Pro with a single one-time purchase - yours forever. No weekly subscriptions, no recurring charges. So many "scanner" apps charge every single week for the same on-device work. We think that's wrong. Pay once, scan forever. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE - Full Dark Mode and Dynamic Type support - VoiceOver labels throughout - Reduce Motion support and gentle haptics - Works without a camera via Photos and Files import Scan it. Sign it. Search it. Keep it private. That's Scanly.
