Simple, fast, and private
Point your camera at a document. Skanae detects the edges, crops the page and corrects the perspective.
With Pro, on-device OCR reads the text and an on-device AI model suggests a category and a file name. Nothing is sent to a server.
Keep the PDF on your device or in iCloud, or connect OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. Your choice, your control.
Watch Skanae scan, categorize and save a document
In the app, your scans, the text read from them and the AI categorization stay on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose a cloud storage.
Connect the storage that works for you. All connections are direct - we never see your files.
Scan to PDF for free, or add on-device AI to file every document in the right place
Skanae finds the page edges, crops automatically and straightens documents photographed at an angle.
Scan several pages and save them together as one PDF.
Keep scans on your device or in iCloud Drive. Nothing is uploaded anywhere else unless you connect it.
Add, rename and reorder the categories so they match how you file your paperwork.
Scanning and saving locally need no internet connection. With Pro, the AI model is downloaded once, then runs on the device.
Text is recognized on your iPhone or iPad with Apple's Vision framework and used to suggest a category and a file name. No upload.
An on-device AI model sorts scans into categories such as Bills & Invoices, Receipts & Proof of Purchase, Identity Documents or Medical Documents.
Scans get a descriptive name based on what is in the document, not "Scan001.pdf".
Change a category once and Skanae remembers your choice for similar documents.
Send scans straight to the cloud storage you already use.
Skanae is a free download. Features marked Pro need a subscription.

Free download for iPhone and iPad
Skanae is a free download. Scanning, multi-page PDF export and saving to local storage or iCloud are free. A Pro subscription adds AI auto-categorisation (which includes the on-device OCR), smart file names, learning from your corrections, and the OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox connections. Current pricing is shown on the App Store page.
Yes. Scanning and saving to local storage work without a connection. With Pro, the on-device AI model is downloaded once; after that, categorisation also runs without internet. Uploading to iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox needs a connection.
No. Scans, OCR text and AI categorisation stay on your device. A file leaves your device only if you turn on a cloud storage such as iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox, and then it goes straight to that provider. The app also downloads the AI model once and checks your subscription status; neither involves your documents.
This website counts visits with a self-hosted, cookie-free statistics tool; details are in the privacy policy. The app itself contains no analytics SDK and no ads.
Skanae runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later.
With Pro, the text of a scan is read on the device with Apple's Vision framework. An on-device AI model then suggests a category, such as Bills & Invoices, Receipts & Proof of Purchase or Identity Documents, and a descriptive file name. If you change the category, Skanae remembers it for similar documents. You can also add your own categories. AI categorisation and OCR are Pro features.
iCloud and local storage on your device are free. OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox are Pro. You choose which storages are turned on, or keep everything on the device.
