Scan documents.
Without the spyware.
Paperix turns paper into searchable PDFs on your iPhone — and it does every step of it on-device. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking.
See what it doesWhat it does
Edge-aware scanning
Uses Apple's Vision document camera — the same engine Notes.app uses. Auto-edge detection, perspective correction, shadow cleanup.
On-device OCR
Every scan runs through on-device text recognition. The recognized text is embedded as an invisible layer in the PDF, so it's searchable in any reader.
Full-text search
Search across every scan, or inside a single document. By name or by content — anything you've ever scanned, instantly findable.
Page editor
Reorder, rotate, or delete pages after the fact. Drag to reorder; swipe for actions. Saves back to the original PDF in place.
Password-protected export
Sharing a sensitive scan? Export with a password using PDFKit's built-in encryption. Works in every standard PDF reader.
Zero networking
The binary literally has no code to phone home. Turn airplane mode on forever and Paperix works exactly the same. We're not "encrypted in transit" — we're no transit.
Why no SDKs?
Most "free" scanner apps make money by sending your scans, your text, your behavior, or your contacts somewhere. The business model is: you upload your tax documents and someone downstream gets paid.
Paperix takes a different approach. It costs a few dollars one-time, it has no servers, and it has no third-party SDKs — not analytics, not crash reporters, not advertising IDs. The binary you install is the binary that runs. There is no live wire back to anyone.
This is the kind of thing that's easy to claim and hard to prove. You can verify it by running Paperix with Little Snitch or Lulu in alert mode — it will never prompt, because it never tries.
