Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built around one idea: a scanner that respects your documents, your money, and your time.

Automatic edge detection

Point the camera at a page and Paperlight finds the edges, straightens it, and captures it — one page or twenty.

Save anywhere in Files

Pick any folder — iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or any storage app you use. Paperlight puts it exactly where you choose.

Stays on your device

Everything happens on-device. No servers, no account, no sign-in. Your scans go from camera to Files — nowhere else.

History that deeplinks

Your scan list remembers every file. Tap any row and the Files app opens focused on that exact PDF.

Works completely offline

No internet connection needed — ever. Scan on a plane, in a basement, anywhere. The app never phones home.

Tidy filenames by default

Files are named 2026-07-25 Scan 001.pdf — date first, so they sort chronologically. Customize the template in Settings.

Quiet by design.

Near-monochrome, with one green accent reserved for the action that matters.

Scan your first page

It becomes a PDF you save straight to Files.

First launch — one button, one line of copy.
