Clearcan
Free document scanner. No ads, no subscriptions, no cloud.
Clearcan is a document scanner built on a simple idea: scanning should take seconds, not a subscription. Scan with automatic edge detection, search documents by their content (on-device text recognition in English, Russian, Romanian), copy text from any page, and export clean PDFs — no watermarks, no limits. Everything runs on your iPhone. No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no cloud. Built by an indie developer tired of scanner apps stuffed with paywalls.
Hi! I'm Ion, the developer. I built Clearcan because every scanner app I tried interrupted a 10-second task with ads or a paywall.
The recent update added text recognition that runs fully on device (Apple's Vision framework) — so you can search scans by their content and copy text from them, and your documents still never leave your phone.
It's free, and staying free. Happy to answer anything!
