Tap the Scan button, point your camera at the page, and hold steady. The app uses on-device edge detection to find the page. You can add more pages in the same scan, pick a filter (Original, B&W, Grayscale, or Color boost), then save it as a PDF in your library.

On the home screen, tap Import and choose photos or files (PDFs and images). From another app, including Files or another scanner, use Share or Open in and pick Red Rock Scan. The file is copied into your library on this iPhone.

The search bar looks through names, tags, folders, and the text recognized on each page. Recognition runs on your iPhone, not on a server, so you can find a word inside a scan even if you never typed a title.

Use it when you need the front and back of a license, insurance card, or similar ID. Both sides are placed neatly on a single page so you can share one PDF.

iCloud Backup is a Pro feature. In the app, open Settings and turn on iCloud Backup. Sign in to iCloud on your iPhone and turn on iCloud Drive if you haven’t already. The status should read Connected. Tap Back up now to copy your library to your own iCloud. Backups belong to your Apple ID. We cannot see them.

Install Red Rock Scan on the iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID, open Settings, and tap Restore. Documents already on that phone are left alone; missing ones are copied back from your backup.

Pro is a one-time In-App Purchase, not a subscription. On any iPhone signed in with the Apple ID you used to buy Pro, open the unlock screen and tap Restore Purchases, or look for Restore in Settings. Apple confirms the purchase. We never see your Apple ID password or card number.

If a restore doesn’t take, confirm you are using the same Apple ID, that the purchase completed in your Apple account, and try again on a network connection. You can also check the purchase in Settings → your name → Media & Purchases → Purchase History.

In Settings, turn on Face ID lock (or Touch ID / passcode, if that is what your iPhone uses). The app will ask for it when you open Red Rock Scan. Your biometric data stays on the device and is handled by iOS; the app only learns whether the unlock succeeded. Set up Face ID in the iPhone Settings app first if you haven’t already.

Long-press a document and choose Make private. Opening it then requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. You can also hide the title so the library shows “Private document” instead of the real name. Private documents can be backed up to your iCloud if backup is on; they stay locked on the phone until you unlock them.

Open a document or tap the share arrow on its card, then choose a destination in the iOS share sheet — Mail, Messages, Files, or another app. Pro also lets you share a password-protected PDF, copy recognized text, merge or split PDFs, and export receipt totals as a CSV spreadsheet for taxes or expenses.

The app is free to download, with no ads. The free core includes unlimited scanning, PDFs, filters, on-device search, folders, tags, smart folders, sorting, sharing, import, and ID card mode.

Pro is a one-time purchase — $4.99 during the first month after release, then $9.99. There is no subscription. Pro adds iCloud Backup, Face ID lock and private documents, finger signatures, fill and annotate, password-protected PDFs, merge and split, copy text, expiry and due-date reminders, and receipt totals export.

When a scan includes a date that matters — a license expiration, an insurance renewal, or a bill due date — you can set a reminder. The app asks for notification permission and then notifies you on your iPhone. Reminders are local; they are not sent from a server.
