## Description

Scan to searchable PDF, sign it, lock it with Face ID, even turn receipts into CSV - 100% on your iPhone, nothing uploaded. No subscription: pay once, scan forever.

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.
