Why I Built SmartScan
Every document scanner app I've tried is the same: ads everywhere, watermarks on every page, and a paywall hiding basic features. So I built my own.
What It Does
SmartScan is a completely free Android app that lets you:
- Scan documents to PDF — Fast edge detection, multi-page support
- QR Code Generator & Scanner — Create and scan QR codes instantly
- OCR Text Recognition — Extract text from images
- Edit & Sign Documents — Add signatures, annotations
- Share anywhere — Export as PDF or image
What Makes It Different
- 100% free
- Zero ads
- No watermarks
- No account required
- Open source (Kotlin/Android)
Tech Stack
Built natively with Kotlin for Android. Source code available on GitHub.
