Hi, was wondering if anyone knew of an app where you can use your camera to scan documents (like Adobe Scan) which is FOSS.

OSS Document Scanner is great. It's also available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner

I'm not finding it, do you mean Open Note Scanner?

Weird, I have the Izzy repo and it doesn't show up.

Thanks for the link!

This is a major issue with F-Droid. I can find this via a browser, but the F-Droid app doesn't show it, even searching by name. It just doesn't exist. It happens all the time, I'm not sure why it doesn't show apps that I know are there.

G-Droid doesn't show it either. :/

I can find it on Droidify no problem and after reading your comment, I also tried on F-droid app and I can see it there as well. Maybe you don't have it configured properly.

Thanks, just checked it out and this seems good for my purposes.

If anyone else wants a link: https://github.com/allgood/OpenNoteScanner

https://github.com/pencilresearch/OpenScanner I have not used it. But saw it on alternativeto recently.

Looks like that's for iOS?

Edit: Which is a cool find too, since I also have iOS devices.

woops sorry quite honestly I did see the iOS logo but because its on github its my first time seeing a project thats iOS only, with no android alternative thats also open source. Thought they also had a branch for android.
