Local-first by design

No accounts. No document uploads. No analytics SDK.

Your documents stay local

Scans, imported pages, thumbnails, OCR text, folders, and search data live in the app container on your device.

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, whether you capture them with the camera or bring them in from Photos, Files, or PDFs.

Clean PDFs without watermark

Scan or import pages, review them, and export a normal PDF without ads or watermark tricks.

Review before saving

Captured or imported pages can be reordered, removed, added to, and saved into the right local folder.

Search inside old scans

Use 10 free OCR pages each month, or start Pro for unlimited on-device OCR and search.

Folders, Trash, and batch actions

Organize documents, restore accidental deletes, and export several PDFs when the archive grows.

Searchable PDF export

Pro creates PDFs with selectable text when a document needs 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 or imported pages easier to recognize later.

Flatscan archive view with document thumbnails

Find the word you remember

Search local OCR text and jump back to the matching document page.

Start with a clean PDF

Handle the archive in batches

Move, delete, restore, and export multiple documents when the stack grows.

Keep document trust visible

No document uploads, no analytics SDK, and OCR/search stay on device.
