Everything you need to get started with ScanDesk.
Click "Choose Folder…" in the top bar to select where scanned PDFs will be saved. Your choice is remembered across restarts.
Select a camera from the Camera menu. ScanDesk supports iPhones via Continuity Camera or USB, built-in webcams, and external cameras.
Point your camera at the document and press the Space bar (or click Scan). ScanDesk automatically detects edges and corrects perspective.
Enable Quick Mode (hare icon) to scan, save, and immediately return to the camera — perfect for processing a stack of receipts.
Auto mode (wand icon) detects document edges automatically. Switch to Manual (crop icon) to drag a crop rectangle over the preview.
After scanning, ScanDesk reads the document and pre-fills the sender name and date. You can edit these before saving.
Click the Multi-Page button to start a session. Press Space for each page. When done, click Save — all pages are combined into one PDF.
Yes. Click Cancel at any time to discard all captured pages and return to normal mode.
Both devices must use the same Apple ID, have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled, and your iPhone must be locked. The camera appears automatically in the Camera menu.
Connect with a Lightning or USB-C cable and confirm "Trust This Computer" on your iPhone. The preview may appear rotated — scans will be correctly oriented.
Click Refresh Cameras in the Camera menu. For Continuity Camera: check that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are active on both devices.
Files are saved as YYYY-MM-DD_Sender_Receipt.pdf. ScanDesk uses OCR to detect the date and sender from the document automatically.
Yes. In Normal Mode, edit the Sender and Date fields before clicking Save.
ScanDesk appends a number (e.g. _2, _3) to avoid overwriting existing files.
ScanDesk is free to use for 7 days. After that, a license is required.
