ANDROID FIRSTPAY ONCE / OFFLINE
Your scanner.
Your files.
The offline document scanner for Android — pay once, scan forever. Clean PDFs, made entirely on your phone.
No subscription · No account · No upload · No watermark · No ads
Capture, cleanup, OCR, and search work in airplane mode.
THE WHOLE WORKFLOW
A scanner that ends
with a file you own.
Photograph the page
Use your camera or choose an image. YourScan finds the document edges and keeps manual crop controls close.
Clean it on your device
Deskew, sharpen, and combine pages without sending a byte to a processing server.
Keep a real PDF
Download, share, or back up an ordinary file. Export is free and never held behind a paywall.
Works in airplane mode
Capture, cleanup, OCR, and search run entirely on-device. Scan to PDF offline on Android — no connection, no cloud, no wait.
VERIFIABLY LOCAL
Never uploads. Your documents don't leave your phone.
Most scanner apps route documents through accounts and vendor clouds — Adobe Scan's cloud can't be turned off, and OneDrive's scanner requires an account and won't save locally. YourScan does the work where the document already is: on your Android phone.
- Capture and enhancement run on-device
- No account, trackers, or analytics SDKs
- Your documents live in a folder you choose
The only things we ever collect are optional and live on this website, never in the app. If you join the launch list, your email is stored by Netlify Forms and a confirmation is sent through SendGrid - used only to email you about the launch, never linked to app usage, and you can unsubscribe anytime. The site also uses Google Analytics in consent mode to count visits and traffic sources - it sets no cookies unless you accept, and the app itself collects nothing either way.

FILES, NOT HOSTAGES
Export is not a premium feature.
Scan as much as you need. Download every page. Share it anywhere. Your ability to retrieve your own documents will always be free.
No remote killswitch. Microsoft switched off Lens scanning on every phone on March 9, 2026. An offline app can't be shut down remotely — YourScan keeps working no matter what.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions people actually ask.
Is there a scanner app with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription?
Yes. YourScan's free scanner is complete — unlimited scans, multi-page PDFs, export anywhere. YourScan Pro (cleanup filters, OCR, search, naming rules, auto-upload) is a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no monthly fee, ever.
Can I scan documents without an internet connection?
Yes. Capture, cleanup, OCR, and search all run on your phone. Turn on airplane mode and everything still works — that is the test we ask you to run.
Does YourScan upload my documents anywhere?
No. Documents leave your phone only when you export or upload them to a destination you chose. The app works with network access revoked and contains no analytics or tracker SDKs. The website uses Google Analytics in consent mode: it sets no cookies and stores nothing about you unless you accept, and the app is never involved either way.
Do I need an account or sign-up to use YourScan?
No account, no email, no sign-in. Open the app and scan. There is nothing to log into and nothing to get locked out of.
What is the best Microsoft Lens replacement for Android?
YourScan is built for the workflow Lens users lost: capture, crop, clean, and save PDFs locally on Android — with no account and no forced cloud. Unlike Lens’s official replacement, your scans stay on your device.
Why did Microsoft Lens stop scanning?
Microsoft retired Lens: it left the app stores in early 2026 and scanning was disabled server-side on March 9, 2026 — even for people who still had it installed. An offline app cannot be switched off remotely. That is the point of YourScan.
What do free scanner apps actually limit?
Usually watermarks, scan caps, ads, or a fee the moment you try to export. YourScan's free tier has none of those: unlimited scans, no watermark, no ads, and export is always free. Pro adds automation, not access to your own files.
Is it safe to scan sensitive documents with a phone scanner app?
It depends where the processing happens. Apps that upload scans to a cloud put your documents on someone else’s servers. YourScan processes everything on-device and never uploads, which is the safe pattern for IDs, contracts, and medical or financial papers.
Why not just use Google Drive’s or OneDrive’s scanner?
Both require an account and are built to upload. OneDrive’s scanner does not save files locally, and Drive’s scanner files everything into Google’s cloud. YourScan needs no account and saves ordinary PDFs to a folder on your phone.
What happens to my scans if I uninstall?
Nothing. Scans are ordinary PDF and image files in a folder you choose. Delete the app and every document stays on your phone.
When is the iOS version coming?
Android ships first. iOS follows. Join the launch list and we will send one email the moment each is ready.
Put your Android camera to work.
No signup in the app. No cloud setup. Your first scan takes less than a minute.
