A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

I have the same question but for IOS. I know the Notes app can scan documents, but I also use Genius Scan just because it has more features and it produces better quality scans. I read through their privacy policy and it seems safe (everything local) as long as you don’t subscribe to their cloud features.
I don't know if it's open source but https://apps.apple.com/no/app/ocr-scanner-quickscan/id1513790291?l=nb is at least free, no ads and don't collect data
This is the one I use and it’s awesome. Allows you to upload to nextcloud or most other providers.
