Introducing NorthScan: private document scanning for iPhone

June 28, 2026 · NorthVault

NorthScan is a new sister app to NorthVault, built around privacy-first Apple-native scanning for iPhone.

Where NorthVault helps people keep personal finance records organised, NorthScan focuses on the paper that often surrounds real life: receipts, documents, books, whiteboards, forms and PDFs that need to be captured quickly and found later.

Scan smarter. Private. Beautifully organised.

The core idea is simple: scan it today, find it tomorrow. NorthScan is being designed to help you capture clear scans in seconds, share them when needed, and keep saved documents organised locally on your device.

Local-first by default

NorthScan is being built with the same privacy temperament as NorthVault. No account is required for core scanning, and scans stay on your device unless you choose to share, export or back them up.

The app is not being claimed as released yet. The roadmap will stay careful and transparent as initial features are finalised and future ideas are considered.
