The Experience How it lives under your hands

Scan pages with automatic edge detection and capture, remove shadows, and export searchable PDFs. Text is read on your iPhone, passports and ID cards are read from their machine readable zone, and every page is sealed with AES-GCM before it is saved or synced through your private iCloud. No ads, no accounts and no tracking.
