ScanPilot – Modular Document Scanner Rig 

I got tired of document scanning apps being expensive, overloaded with features, or full of ads – and of constantly renaming files and folders by hand.

So I designed and printed my own document scanner rig and built a minimal iOS app (ScanPilot) around it.

This model is a stable, adjustable scanner stand for smartphones, designed to give you:

• consistent camera distance
• repeatable framing
• clean, shadow-free scans
• fast, semi-automated digitization workflows

The rig is optimized for flat documents (receipts, letters, invoices, stickers, manuals) and works with any scanning app – but it’s specifically designed to pair nicely with ScanPilot, my lightweight iOS scanner app.

About the ScanPilot iOS App 

ScanPilot focuses only on what’s necessary:

• fast capture
• manual crop with auto-analyze option
• structured file naming (Type / Sender / Date / Folder modes)
• clean PDF export
• no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking

The app is currently in TestFlight beta.

Want to join the beta and get the app for free?

Print this model, post a comment with photos of your build, and send me a DM. I’ll send you a TestFlight invite.

Printing Notes
