Why you'll love Scanly

Unlimited Free Scans

No daily cap and no page limit. Edge detection and straightening make every page look flatbed-clean.

Searchable OCR

Every scan gets text recognition on-device, so you can search your documents by what's in them.

Sign, Fill & Redact

Sign documents, fill forms, and permanently redact sensitive text without leaving the app.

Locked & Encrypted

Lock sensitive documents with Face ID and on-device encryption. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Scanly turns your iPhone into a fast, private document scanner - completely free, with no limits.

Point the camera at any page and Scanly finds the edges, straightens the page, and makes it look like it came off a flatbed scanner. Scan documents, receipts, ID cards, book spreads, handwritten notes, and QR codes. OCR makes every scan searchable, and you can sign documents, fill forms, redact sensitive text, and merge, split, and compress PDFs right on your phone.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your documents never leave your iPhone. There are no accounts, no cloud uploads, and no tracking. Locked documents are encrypted on this device and stay out of search, widgets, and AI. The only time a document goes anywhere is when you share or export it yourself.

WHY FREE?
Apps like this are wildly popular because they're genuinely useful, and people pay for them. So why not make them completely free? I don't need ads and I don't need to charge a subscription, because I don't need the money. And maybe someday they become popular enough to lead to bigger opportunities. But I'll never charge for these. That's all. Plain and simple.

Perfect For

Receipts & Expenses: Scan receipts as you get them and find them later with a quick search.
Contracts & Forms: Sign and fill paperwork from your phone, then export as PDF, images, text, or Word.
Notes & Books: Digitize handwritten notes, ID cards, and book spreads with clean, straightened pages.
