Why LocalScan AI

Many scanner apps rely on clouds, accounts, or subscriptions. We don't.

All AI runs on your iPhone. No server for document processing. No account. No monthly fee. Just a scanner that works — completely offline, completely private.

100% on-device AI

Every AI operation — edge detection, perspective correction, text recognition, image enhancement — runs locally on your iPhone using Apple's Core ML framework. Zero bytes of your document data leave your device at any point. Unlike cloud-based scanner apps that upload your documents to remote servers before processing them, LocalScan AI performs all computation on-device. Your contracts, IDs, receipts, and private notes are never transmitted over the internet. There is no server-side component, no data processing agreement to sign, and no risk of a cloud breach exposing your documents. The app works fully in airplane mode, in areas with no signal, and on networks where you wouldn't want to transmit sensitive document data. No account required — not for setup, not for any feature. Buy once, scan offline forever.

AI auto-crop & straighten

Point your camera and shoot. The AI detects document edges, corrects perspective, and crops perfectly — no tapping, no adjusting, no second tries.

OCR in 10 languages

Built-in text recognition covers English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Arabic. Every scan is instantly searchable.

Batch processing

Scan an entire contract, book chapter, or stack of receipts in one session. Multi-page documents are assembled automatically into a single, ordered PDF.

Smart full-text search

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.

PDF encryption

Password-protect any PDF export before it leaves your device. LocalScan AI applies AES encryption directly on your iPhone — the password is set by you and never sent to any server. Bank statements, passports, medical records, signed contracts — these are exactly the documents that shouldn't travel unprotected. Once encrypted, the file is unreadable without the correct password, even if intercepted in transit or stored in an email attachment. This is especially useful for healthcare professionals, legal workers, and anyone handling sensitive client documents. The encryption step is built into the export flow: scan, review, set a password, share. No cloud key management, no third-party encryption service, no dependency on any external system. Your key stays with you.

How we compare

Many scanner apps ask for $30–$80/year, accounts, or cloud features.

We built LocalScan AI to process documents on your device, avoid accounts, and skip recurring fees — because you shouldn't have to trade privacy for productivity.

FAQ

Common questions, honest answers.

Yes, completely. All AI — edge detection, perspective correction, OCR text recognition — runs directly on your iPhone using Apple's Core ML framework. No data is ever sent to a server. The app works in airplane mode, on a plane, in a basement with no signal. That's not a marketing claim; it's how the app is built.
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Arabic. All recognition runs on-device — nothing is sent to a cloud OCR service.
Yes. One-time purchase means you own the app permanently, including all future feature updates and iOS compatibility updates. We don't move features behind a new paywall.
LocalScan AI requires iOS 17 or later. This covers iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and all newer models, as well as iPad (6th generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), and all iPad Pro models from 2018 onward.
No. Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID, not your device. Download the app on your new iPhone and tap "Restore Purchase" — it's instant and free.
Apple handles all purchases and refunds. You can request a refund within 14 days at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you have a problem with the app, we'd also love to hear from you first — most issues can be resolved quickly.
At $5.99 with no subscription, we believe the one-time price is already low enough to be risk-free — and Apple's 14-day refund policy covers you if it doesn't fit your needs.
