Why PrivateScan AI
All AI runs on your iPhone. No server. No account. No monthly fee. Just a scanner that works — completely offline, completely private.
Every AI operation — crop detection, text recognition, image enhancement — runs locally on your iPhone. Zero bytes leave your device. Works in airplane mode.
Point your camera and shoot. The AI detects document edges, corrects perspective, and crops perfectly — no tapping, no adjusting, no second tries.
Built-in text recognition covers English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Arabic. Every scan is instantly searchable.
Scan an entire contract, book chapter, or stack of receipts in one session. Multi-page documents are assembled automatically into a single, ordered PDF.
OCR text is indexed automatically. Search across your entire document library by any keyword — find that receipt from six months ago in under a second.
Password-protect any export before it leaves your device. Bank statements, IDs, contracts — shared only with people who have the password. No exceptions.
How it works
Open the scanner, point at any document. On-device AI detects edges, corrects perspective, and captures a clean scan in real time — no adjustments needed.
OCR runs immediately on your iPhone — no upload, no waiting. Text in 10 languages is recognized and indexed. Batch multiple pages into one document.
Searchable PDF, JPEG, encrypted, A4-normalized — choose what you need. Share via AirDrop, Mail, or Files. Nothing is stored anywhere but your device.
How we compare
We built PrivateScan AI to work without your data, without a cloud server, and without a recurring fee — because you shouldn't have to trade privacy for productivity.

User Reviews
"Finally a scanner app that doesn't demand an account before I can even open it. Everything just works — offline, instantly. I cancelled my Adobe subscription the same day."
"I scan legal documents and client IDs. Knowing the files never leave my device is a huge deal for compliance. The OCR accuracy is excellent — better than apps that use cloud processing."
"$5.99 once and it's mine forever. The auto-crop is so accurate I stopped adjusting anything manually. The Chinese OCR works perfectly on handwritten receipts too."
Privacy first
We can't leak your data because we never receive it. All AI runs locally. No servers. No accounts. No exceptions.
Scan, OCR, filter, encrypt, export — everything runs on your iPhone. PrivateScan AI works in airplane mode and never needs a Wi-Fi connection.
No sign-up, no email, no analytics SDK, no ad tracking. Open the app and start scanning. We have no idea who you are — by design.
Add a password to any PDF before it leaves your device. Even if the file is intercepted in transit, it's unreadable without your key.
