RME is a privacy-first, open-source document scanner for Android. Scan documents, import PDFs and images, run OCR offline, create searchable PDFs, and export or share your files — without an account, ads, tracking, or a backend. Your documents stay on your device. RME combines everyday scanning tools with a simple principle: document scanning shouldn’t require giving your documents or personal data to a third party.
