About this app

Scan any document and find it again in seconds. PocketScan turns your phone into a document scanner with a searchable archive: every scan and imported image is text-recognized on your device, so you can search your receipts, cards, IDs and paperwork the way you search the web — by what's written inside them.

Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud upload, no monthly fee for your own documents.

KEY FEATURES:

📷 SMART DOCUMENT SCANNER
• Automatic edge detection, perspective correction and enhancement
• Multi-page capture with clean, shareable results
• Merge pages into a single PDF with the built-in PDF stitcher

🔍 SEARCH INSIDE YOUR DOCUMENTS
• On-device text recognition (OCR) makes every document searchable
• Type any word — a merchant name, an amount, a serial number — and jump straight to the document
• Works completely offline; your text never leaves your phone

🗂 FOLDERS & NOTES
• Organize documents into folders: Receipts, Contracts, IDs, Warranties — your call
• Attach your own notes to any document; notes are searchable too
• Unlimited documents. No caps on how much you can store.

📥 IMPORT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Bring in existing photos and screenshots of documents
• Imported images are text-recognized automatically, so your old archive becomes searchable instantly

🤖 AI DOCUMENT UNDERSTANDING
• One tap classifies a scan as receipt, business card or ID
• Extracts structured fields: merchant, date, total, contact details
• Export recognized receipts to CSV for expense tracking

🔎 IDENTIFY OBJECTS, NOT JUST PAPER
• Point the camera at a thing — a tool, a part, a plant, a gadget — and find out what it is
• Take a photo or pick one from your gallery
• The result is filed in your vault and searchable by name, right beside your documents
• A search engine gives you a result and forgets it; PocketScan keeps the record

🔐 PRIVATE VAULT
• Lock sensitive documents with AES encryption behind your fingerprint
• Vault documents stay out of search results and exports

📤 YOUR DATA IS YOURS
• Export your entire archive to a ZIP — images plus a full text index
• Share any document in one tap
• No lock-in, ever

WHY CHOOSE POCKETSCAN?

• Offline-first: scanning, OCR and search work with no internet
• One-time upgrade, not another subscription — pay once, keep it
• No note limits, no document quotas, no countdown timers
• Private by design: documents and recognized text stay on your device

PERFECT FOR:

• Keeping every receipt findable at tax time
• Contracts, warranties and manuals you'll need "someday"
• Business cards that become searchable contacts
• Students archiving notes, forms and certificates
• Identifying a part, tool or gadget and keeping a record of it
• Anyone leaving a note app that started charging for their own archive

Object identification is a best guess to help you search and file — not an appraisal, valuation or safety assessment. People and identity documents are not identified.

Scan it once. Find it forever. Download PocketScan and make your paperwork searchable!
Scan documents, identify objects & search everything. OCR, folders & vault.

What’s new

New: Identify an object

• Point the camera at a thing — a tool, a part, a plant, a gadget — and PocketScan tells you what it is.
• Take a photo or pick one from your gallery.
• Identified objects are saved to your vault and are searchable by name, right beside your documents.
• You can also identify an object from a scan you already saved.

Object identification shares your monthly AI allowance with document classification. Premium removes the limit.
