What to look for when choosing a private document scanner
Privacy defaults matter more than feature checklists for receipts, IDs, and contracts.
Offline capture + OCR
- Core scan flow should not require network access
- Some tools silently upload for cloud OCR — check before your first scan
- Test with airplane mode enabled to confirm real offline behavior
No forced account
- You should be able to start scanning immediately after install
- Account gates often mean document upload is part of the flow
- Verify whether files are stored locally or synced to a cloud account
Export quality and control
- Clean PDF output with predictable file size and formatting
- Editable OCR text lets you correct mistakes before sharing
- Clear options for where files go — Files app, email, or local storage
Privacy details for scanning and summary
What stays local, what may need network, and what is retained.
On-device by default
- Capture, edge detection, cleanup, OCR, and document storage
- Summary generation in the current public release
- Export to PDF, text, and local Files workflows
When network is used
- Not required for scan and OCR flows
- Used only for App Store billing and optional support contact
- No automatic cloud upload of your scans by default
Data retention policy
- Documents remain on your device unless you choose to share
- No account profile required to use the app
- No server-side document retention by FanStudio Apps
If a future cloud-assisted summary mode is introduced, it will be opt-in and explicitly documented here and in-app.
