No account
Start scanning without signup friction.
No cloud OCR
Text recognition runs on device.
No watermark
Plain PDF export stays useful.
StoreKit only

Local-first by design
No accounts. No document uploads. No analytics SDK.
OCR runs on device
Flatscan uses Apple's Vision framework for text recognition. There is no server-side OCR pipeline.
Exports are your choice
When you share a PDF, Apple's share sheet lets you choose Files, Mail, AirDrop, or another destination.
Built for everyday paper
A scanner that becomes an archive.
Flatscan is for receipts, invoices, forms, warranties, notes, and the small stack of documents you always need to find again later.
Clean PDFs without watermark
Scan, review pages, and export a normal PDF without ads or watermark tricks.
Review before saving
Captured pages can be reordered, removed, retaken, and saved into the right local folder.
Search inside old scans
On-device OCR makes your first documents searchable, with Pro unlocking a larger local archive.
Folders, Trash, and batch actions
Organize documents, restore accidental deletes, and export several PDFs when the archive grows.
Searchable PDF export
Create PDFs with selectable text for the documents that need to be searched outside the app.
Readable export names
Exports use document titles, dates, and PDF type so files stay recognizable after sharing.
Product proof
Real app screens, arranged around the jobs people actually do.
Browse a private archive, not a pile of filenames.
Visual thumbnails, folders, OCR status, and document type hints make scanned paper easier to recognize later.
Find the word you remember
Search local OCR text and jump back to the matching document page.
Export for the next step
Share clean PDFs freely, or create searchable PDFs with selectable text.
Handle the archive in batches
Move, delete, restore, and export multiple documents when the stack grows.
Pre-launch
