What is Foldio?

Foldio is a document scanner and PDF editor for Android, built as a privacy-first alternative to CamScanner and Microsoft Lens.

Unlike CamScanner ($5–10/month) and Adobe Scan ($9.99/month), Foldio is free forever with a one-time Pro unlock that removes all limits.

Key features:

  • Scan documents with ML Kit's automatic edge detection — no camera permission required in the app
  • OCR: extract and search text in any scan, all on-device
  • Non-destructive editing: crop, rotate, brightness, contrast — fully reversible, zero quality loss
  • Electronic signatures and text/highlight annotations
  • Folders to organise your library
  • Optional Google Drive backup (your account only — Foldio servers never involved)
  • Export to PDF (with searchable text layer) or plain text
  • "Open with Foldio" — appears in the Android share chooser for any PDF file

Privacy:

  • No account required
  • No analytics, no tracking, no crash reporters
  • All processing on-device
  • Files stored in app-private storage, automatically deleted on uninstall
