Your documents shouldn't need permission to stay private.
Vibe Scanner is an iPhone document scanner with no backend. AES-256-GCM at rest. Apple Intelligence on the Neural Engine. Multi-language OCR through Apple's Vision framework. Nothing leaves your phone — because there is nowhere for it to go.
Most scanners ask you to trust them.
This one doesn't need to be trusted.
Every page is processed on-device. OCR runs through Apple's Vision framework. Summaries run through Apple Intelligence on the Neural Engine. Translation goes through iOS 17.4's on-device Translation framework. iCloud sync — when enabled — writes to your private iCloud Drive.
There is no backend. There is no account to compromise. There is no analytics SDK quietly mapping your behaviour. The privacy story isn't a marketing toggle — it's the absence of infrastructure capable of betraying it.
AES-256-GCM, per document.
Encrypt any scan with a password. Vibe Scanner derives a per-document key with HKDF-SHA256, salts it from your Keychain, and seals each page with AES-GCM. Lose your phone, hand it to a customs officer, leave it in a hotel — your sensitive scans stay locked.
- AES-256-GCM at rest, per-document salt in Keychain
- Face ID gate on the entire app, separate from per-doc passwords
- Encrypted PDFs and images decrypt only with your password
A 20-page contract, understood in seconds.
After every scan, Vibe Scanner runs Apple's on-device language model to extract a one-line summary, key points, and a document category. Ask follow-up questions — “when does this lease expire?”, “what's the cancellation clause?” — without a single byte leaving the phone.
- Per-document summaries with auto-generated category
- Natural-language Q&A on any scan (Pro)
- Multi-language OCR — English free; CJK, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic on Pro
Everything a scanner should do —
and nothing it shouldn't.
Receipts, contracts, ID, whiteboards. Auto-named, auto-summarized, exportable to anything your other apps understand.

Folders & smart filters
Search, folder pills, encrypted-doc shields — one screen, no nesting fatigue.
Crisp OCR, page strip
OCR sits next to the page; the bottom strip swipes between pages instantly.
Even handwriting works
Vision pulls structure from notes, lists, and tables.
Locked tight
Encrypted documents are gated by password — no preview, no metadata leak.
Tune the pipeline
Auto-summarize, passcode lock, scan enhancement — all in one place.
