Transform your iPhone and iPad into a powerful multi-page document scanner with OCR and versatile automation

📱 iPhone & iPad 🔒 Private & Secure ⚡ iOS & iPadOS 26 🇮🇹 Made by Cesare Forelli

SendScan combines a best-in-class scanner with text recognition and workflows that send your documents exactly where they need to go. It's really fast and integrates with iCloud with absolute privacy.

You can scan a document and then share it, or start directly from a workflow that first scans the document and then perform a series of actions you configure, such as rename, send via email to your accountant, share via Messages, and then delete.

SendScan is everywhere you need it to save time: widgets, Shortcuts, lockscreen, Control Center... and on the Mac you can access all searchable PDFs from iCloud. Try it for free!
