Six things PaperGuard does well — and every one of them runs on the phone in your hand, using Apple's own on-device frameworks.
Point the camera. It finds the page.
VisionKit detects the edges of a document, corrects the perspective and captures the moment the frame is steady. Multi-page contracts come out as one document, in order.
When you'd rather do it yourself, the manual batch camera lets you shoot a stack of pages one after another and review them before saving.
- Automatic edge detection and perspective correction
- Multi-page documents in a single capture session
- Manual batch mode for receipts, forms and odd shapes
On-device OCR
Every word, recognized locally
Apple's Vision framework reads the text on each page as soon as it is scanned, so a photographed invoice becomes searchable text. Nothing is sent anywhere to be transcribed — the recognition happens on the device, offline, in the moment.
Free shows a three-line preview of the recognized text. Pro unlocks the full text and search across it.
Document intelligence
It knows what it just read
PaperGuard classifies the document type and pulls out the details that matter — amounts, dates, and the fields you would otherwise retype by hand.
Folders, tags, favorites
A library that stays tidy: nest documents in folders, tag them across categories, and star the handful you reach for often.
Spotlight search is opt-in. Even when it is on, recognized text from ID cards and passports is never handed to the system index.
Annotate and sign
Mark up a page with PencilKit, then drop in a saved signature. Sign a form and send it back without printing anything.
Export as PDF
Share a clean, multi-page PDF anywhere iOS can send a file. No watermark — not even on the free tier.
