This scanner app works with any document, and you can get it for life for $48 | usagoldmines.com

TL;DR: Scan documents, receipts, and more with a SwiftScan VIP Lifetime Subscription, just $48 through August 16.

Desktop scanners are expensive and pretty limited in what they can do. Even scanning the pages of a book is almost impossible to do cleanly on most scanners. If you want a simpler alternative, SwiftScan is a new scanner app that works for iOS and Android, and it’s only $47.97 (reg. $199.99) for a lifetime subscription.

SwiftScan is a whole lot easier to use than most desktop scanners. Just grab your device and point the camera at almost any document. SwiftScan finds the edges, crops the shot, and cleans up the colors on its own. Scans start at 200 dpi and save as PDF or JPG with one tap. Receipts, handwritten notes, whiteboards, business cards, barcodes, and QR codes all run through the same quick capture.

SwiftScan also doubles as a PDF tool. You can sign a document, highlight sections, redact private details, or add and reorder pages without moving to a computer. OCR makes the text inside every scan searchable, so finding an old receipt takes a few seconds instead of a scroll through your camera roll.

Finished files go straight to email, fax, or cloud storage, including iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, and OneDrive. Smart naming tags each scan by date, location, or calendar event so your folders stay sorted without extra work.

Replace your desktop scanner.

Through August 16 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get a SwiftScan VIP Lifetime Subscription for just $47.97.
