Flatbedly turns the paper on your table into a PDF on your phone. It works with no account, no cloud, and no network access — provably: the app can't make a network request, because we removed its permission to. There is no step two to upsell you on.
| No. | Property | Value | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Network requests made, ever | 0 | The permission does not exist in the build |
| 02 | Accounts required | 0 | We don't know who you are and prefer it that way |
| 03 | Steps, paper to PDF | 4 | Scan · check · name · send |
| 04 | Subscription tiers | 0 | We tried to think of one. Nothing came. |
Values hold for all versions. There is no premium printing of this sheet.
You open the app and it scans. We understand this is unusual. Your email address remains your business, along with everything else about you.
Your scans live on your phone, which is where you put them. Syncing them to our computers so we can charge you to look at them again felt like a lot of ceremony.
The app finds the edges of a rectangle. This was solved before it was exciting, and we saw no reason to make it exciting again.
Every serious scanning company has a serious logo. Ours is a flatbed scanner with taped glasses and an overbite. He has scanned everything he has ever been shown, correctly, and he is very pleased about it.
“I pressed the big blue button and the paper went into the phone. Then I sent it to my daughter. Lovely little thing.”
No trial that expires, no features behind a paywall, no annual plan billed the day you forget about it. It scans paper. Charging rent on that seemed rude.
