Glean - Document Scanner

Glean turns your iPhone into a fast, private document scanner.

Capture any document, clean it up, and get a crisp, searchable PDF — kept right on your device. Connect Google Drive only if you want a cloud copy. Glean has no servers of its own, so your documents stay yours.

SCAN
• Multi-page scanning with automatic edge
detection and perspective correction
• One-tap "Clean up" removes shadows and glare, whitens the page, and sharpens text
• Crop, rotate, filters, and brightness / contrast / saturation controls

SEARCHABLE PDFs
• On-device text recognition (OCR) turns every scan into a searchable PDF
• Find and copy the text inside your documents — no internet required

YOUR STORAGE, YOUR CHOICE
• Every scan is saved on your device, and is even accessible in the Files app
• Optionally connect Google Drive to save PDFs into a folder you choose
• Works fully offline — Google Drive is never required

ORGANIZE
• Combine several scans into one PDF, or split a multi-page scan into separate files
• Rename, search, and manage everything in one place
• Import existing PDFs from your Drive folder

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Scanning and text recognition happen on your device
• No analytics, no tracking, and no servers that ever see your documents
• Sign in with Apple or Google — and delete your account and data anytime
