Scanling turns your iPhone into an honest document scanner: point, scan, get a clean and searchable PDF. That's it. No paywall hiding the export button, no watermark on your files, no account to create, no subscription — ever. WHY SCANLING IS DIFFERENT Most scanner apps charge €5–8/month for features your iPhone already provides for free. Scanling gives you everything, unlimited, from the first launch. EVERYTHING INCLUDED, UNLIMITED • Scan with automatic edge detection and perspective correction • Import photos from your library • Manual 4-corner crop with magnifier, and rotation • Enhancement modes with live preview: color, grayscale, black & white • Multi-page documents: reorder, delete, add pages anytime • On-device OCR (English + French): your PDFs are searchable and their text can be copied • Smart name suggestions based on the document's content • Organize with folders, search, sort, grid or list view • Share, print, export as JPEG, or protect a PDF with a password • Lock the app with Face ID • Scan straight from Siri or Spotlight PRIVATE BY DESIGN Scanling makes no network connections. Your documents are stored on your device only, visible in the Files app, and OCR runs locally with Apple's Vision framework. No analytics, no tracker, no third-party SDK. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect.
