PageburyPress kit
In one sentence
Pagebury is an iPhone app that turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs, with text recognition and search that run on the phone, no account, no adverts and nothing uploaded.
Facts

- Platform: iPhone, iOS 18 or later
- Price: Free, with unlimited scans, pages, text recognition, search and sharing, and no watermark. Pro (app lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode, and password-protected PDFs) is a yearly or monthly subscription or a one-off lifetime purchase, priced in the App Store in the buyer's currency
- Publisher: Independent developer, United Kingdom

What makes it different
- The free plan is the whole scanning job: no page cap, no watermark, no account wall. Pro is a lock and password PDFs, nothing more.
- Text recognition runs on the iPhone. No server ever sees a scan, so there is no upload, no account and no running cost that has to be passed on.
- Search finds a scan by any word inside it: a name, a reference number, a postcode.
- Every look (original, greyscale, clean) is made from the original photo, so switching never loses detail.

Boilerplate
Pagebury is an independent app made in Somerset, England. It started as a way to keep receipts and paperwork without handing them to a cloud service, and is built so that scanning stays free and private: the text recognition runs on the iPhone itself.
