Dear diary: it's been only a day and a few hours into 2026 and thanks to a boost from @justine I've already discovered the best open source app for document scanning on Android. A master piece written by @pynicolas and called #FairScan . Light, effective and a breeze to use. I'll be using it to scan work documents and will highly recommend and install it on my colleagues Android devices to replace that filthy #CamScanner data harvester. Seems 2026 might off to a good start.
@pynicolas and I just did!
I tried it out with some legal documents I have around and it works like a charm!
The "picture will be deleted after you close the app" (because we don't need the pictures, we need the scans!) is an awesome feature for those of us who have to scan several documents at a time!
Good riddance #CamScanner ! It doesn't stand a chance against #FairScan !
Will recommend it to all my fellow lawyers!
Thank you so much for your killer app. You did an amazing job!!
@pynicolas welcome aboard!!
Is #FairScan something like #CamScanner but privacy respecting, safe to use and honest?
for those of you who use Camscanner, think again!
I don't even want to begin to imagine how much PII and confidential business information has been compromised, by people using this App.
