Fact sheet
ScanLyte at a glance.
ScanLyte is a document scanner app for iPhone made by Ilkov Group LLC, a software studio in Georgia, USA. It scans, reads, and files documents on the phone, and adds AI that explains a page, flags risky contract clauses, and answers questions about your own scans. Documents never leave the device unless you share them.
What it is
- Category: document scanner with OCR, PDF export, receipts and expense tracking, contract review, and ID redaction.
- Platform: iPhone, iOS 17 or later. No iPad, Android, or web app.
- Account: none. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Storage: on the device only. No cloud sync. iCloud Backup covers it if you have that on.
- Languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Bulgarian, including AI answers.
What makes it different
- A real free tier: 3 scans and 2 AI explanations a month, no watermark, no account.
- Bill radar: reads the due date and amount off a scanned bill and sets a reminder in one tap.
- Contract red flags: highlights the clauses worth questioning, on the page, each with the question to ask.
- Erase, not just black out: remove a line and the page closes up as if it was never there.
- Privacy Passport: IDs stay encrypted on the phone and come out as redacted copies for hotels or age checks.
Privacy, in plain terms
- Scanning, OCR, search, Bill radar, and redaction run entirely on the phone.
- AI features send only the text of the one document you tapped, through an encrypted zero-retention proxy to OpenAI, then discard it.
- Ask your archive sends your question plus the few matching passages found on the phone, never the whole archive.
- Analytics are anonymous counters with no device ID, user ID, or document content. No trackers, no ad pixels.
