Folio — Document Scanner & OCR

Turn paper into searchable PDFs — without uploading anything to the cloud.

Most scanner apps upload your receipts, contracts, and medical files to

their servers — even when they claim to be secure. Folio is different.

Everything happens locally on your device.

Your documents stay where they belong — in your hands.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Scan documents with auto edge detection and perspective correction

- Export to PDF or JPG in one tap

- Extract text with on-device OCR (copy and search)

- Organize scans in local folders

- Share via any Android app (email, WhatsApp, Drive, etc.)

WHY FOLIO IS DIFFERENT

No account required — Scan on first launch, no signup wall

No internet required — Works completely offline

No cloud processing — OCR runs locally using Google ML Kit

No ads — Not on free tier, not ever

No subscriptions — Scan, OCR, and PDF export are permanently free

PERMISSIONS WE NEED

- Camera — to scan documents (requested only when you tap Scan)

- Storage — to save PDFs and images to your device

That's it. No location, no contacts, no microphone.

WHO IT'S FOR

- Professionals scanning sensitive documents (contracts, medical, legal)

- Students and researchers who need reliable OCR

- Small business owners tracking receipts and invoices

- Privacy-conscious users tired of forced cloud uploads

- Anyone looking for a free PDF scanner without subscriptions

FAQ

Q: Is OCR really on-device?

A: Yes. We use Google ML Kit which processes text entirely on your phone.

No images or text are transmitted to any server.

Q: Does it work without internet?

A: Yes. Everything works offline — scanning, OCR, PDF export, and storage.

Q: Will you add subscriptions later?

A: Scan, OCR, and PDF export are permanently free. We may add optional

Pro features (multi-cloud sync, advanced tools), but the core document

scanner will never be limited or paywalled.
