Canny: Private PDF Scanner

Canny is a document scanner that does one job well: it turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs, and it never sends them anywhere. PAY ONCE. THAT'S IT. • One purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no "Pro" upgrade. • No ads. No watermarks on your scans. • No account, no sign-up, no email address. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Canny makes no network requests. Scanning, text recognition and search all run on your iPhone or iPad, and they work in Airplane Mode. • No analytics, no tracking and no third-party code. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. • Scans kept on this device use iOS complete file protection, so they are encrypted whenever your device is locked. NO AI GIMMICKS No chatbot, no generated summaries, no "smart" features that need a server. Text recognition is Apple's Vision framework, running on your device. SCAN • Apple's document camera finds the page edges, captures automatically and straightens the shot. • Import photos you already took: Canny finds the page, crops it and cleans it up. FIND • Every page gets text recognition, so scans become searchable PDFs. • Search all of your scans at once by the words inside them. • Copy or share the recognized text. EDIT • Rotate, reorder and delete pages without losing quality. • Choose color, grayscale or black and white per page. • Rename, print, share and export. YOUR FILES, NOT OURS Every scan is a standard PDF. There is no proprietary format, no database and no export paywall. Keep scans on this device, in your private iCloud, or in iCloud Drive where the Files app and every other app can open them. Switching moves your existing scans for you. If you ever stop using Canny, your scans are still just PDFs. QUICK TO REACH Start a scan from the Lock Screen, Control Center, Shortcuts or Siri. On iPad, use the menu bar and keyboard shortcuts.
