Self-hosted document scanner

Scan paper. Keep it on your own server.

Scanova turns pages into clean, searchable PDFs on your phone and stores them on a server you control. Every file is encrypted with its own key.

Checking the latest build…

How it works

Live edge detection, automatic crop and perspective correction, and filters for clean, readable pages.

On the phone and on the server, documents, titles and text are stored encrypted. Keys are rotated over time.

Text recognition makes every page searchable. Your documents sync between your devices through your server.

Download the app with the button above.
Open the downloaded file. If Android asks, allow your browser to install apps.
Open Scanova and tap Enter details instead. Use the server address https://api.scanova.ubaidbinwaris.com and leave the fingerprint empty.
Sign in with the account your administrator created for you. You will be asked to choose a new password.

Updates arrive inside the app: it checks your server for a newer build and installs it after you confirm.
