Scanly - Scanner & PDF
Scan paper into searchable PDFs, all on your iPhone
Scanly turns any document, receipt, ID, or whiteboard into a sharp, searchable PDF, right on your iPhone. Auto edge-detection, on-device OCR, signing, Face ID lock, even receipts to CSV, with nothing ever uploaded. Free to use; one-time Pro unlock, no subscription.
Hey hunters 👋 I'm Sahil, founder of Ashvara.
A document scanner is one of those apps that really shouldn't phone home with your private paperwork - contracts, IDs, receipts, medical forms. So I built Scanly to do everything on the device. Edge detection and perspective correction give you sharp scans, on-device text recognition (Apple's Vision) makes them searchable, and you can sign, lock, and organize a document end to end - without a single byte leaving your iPhone.
A few decisions I'm happy with:
🔒 Fully on-device - scanning, OCR, and everything else happen locally; nothing is uploaded.
⚡ Sharp auto-scans - edge detection + perspective correction built in.
🔎 Searchable PDFs via on-device OCR - and receipts export straight to CSV.
🪪 Face ID lock on sensitive docs.
💜 Pay-once Pro ($2.99) - own it, no subscription.
It's free to use, with a one-time unlock for the power features. I'd genuinely love your feedback on scan quality and OCR accuracy on tricky documents (faded receipts, handwriting, glossy IDs).
