Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
This $60 app scans, signs, redacts, and sorts paper from your phone Boing Boing's Shop 2:00 pm Mon May 18, 2026 TL;DR: SwiftScan VIP is $59.99 (reg. $199.99) and turns an iPhone, iPad, or Android device into a mobile scanner for PDFs, JPEGs, OCR, signatures, redactions, and cloud uploads.

SwiftScan VIP, priced at just $59.99 (reg. $199.99), isn't trying to make paper disappear, but it can at least get it off the table and into a format that behaves better.
