TIP: Simple Scan's widget and Control Center controls can be configured to use a specific destination.
If you want to have a quick way to launch Simple Scan and be prompted to select from your destination each time, try assigning this shortcut to a Lock Screen or Control Center control – it will ask you to select a destination, then go directly to scanning.
