PaperLock

Scan pages into clean PDFs, read the text to look through them, and keep everything filed.

PaperLock turns your iPhone into a tidy document scanner and organizer. Point the camera at a page to capture it, or import images you already have, then combine several pages into a single PDF. Reorder pages, rotate them, pick a color mode, give the document a name and keep it in your library.

Finding things later is easy. PaperLock reads the text in your scans so you can look through documents by what they actually say, and you can sort into folders, add tags, and mark the ones you reach for most as favorites.

A handy set of tools lets you merge documents, shrink a large PDF, pull out recognized text, add a watermark, draw and place a signature, and export a PDF that asks for a password to open. If you like, turn on an optional lock so the library only opens after you unlock with Face ID.

There is no account and nothing to sign up for.
