CLUSTER DOCUMENTS-IOS-OCR · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-04-21
iOS document scanner apps
The cluster is composed of iOS- and macOS-focused document scanner apps that capture, OCR, edit, organize, and export documents as PDFs or images, with many emphasizing on-device privacy. Dated entries are sparse from 2009 through 2025, with a concentration of new entries in late 2025 and mid-2026. Archive-Suite leads on traction with 3 stars, while two other members have no stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 3 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
