Common questions
- Does it really work offline?
- Yes. Turn on airplane mode and scan, recognise text, search it, and export a PDF — all of it works, because none of that code touches the network. The one thing that does need a connection is confirming a purchase with Google Play, which the store handles rather than us.
- Where are my documents stored?
- In the app's own private storage on your device, which your operating system encrypts at rest. Nothing is written to permanent storage until you save or export.
- How do I get my documents onto my computer?
- Open the document from your library and use Share. Your device's share sheet can send it to any app you already have — mail, a cloud drive, a cable transfer. The app hands the file to whatever you choose; it never sends anything itself.
- I paid on another device. How do I get Pro back?
- Settings → Restore a purchase, or the Restore link on the upgrade screen. Purchases are tied to your App Store or Google Play account, not to us.
- What is the difference between the two prices?
- The one-time purchase never charges you again. The annual option is cheaper today and renews. Both unlock exactly the same features — there is no tier that holds anything back.
- Can I search inside my scans?
- Yes. Text recognition runs on your device when you save a document, and the library search looks inside the words on the page as well as the document name.
- Why is a page not being cropped properly?
- Cropping works best with the whole page in frame against a contrasting background, shot roughly square-on. You can adjust the crop in the scanner before accepting a page.
- How do I delete everything?
- Delete individual documents from the library, or uninstall the app to remove all of it. There is no copy anywhere else.

Privacy
The full policy is short and plain: Privacy Policy. The summary is that the app collects nothing, because the app cannot send anything. This website is an ordinary website, and the policy says what that means.
