OpenScan

A 100% free mobile document scanner with no watermarks

OpenScan launched on May 17, 2026 with 2 votes, #6,288 of 20,538 launches that month.

What it does

I was tired of scanner apps requiring subscriptions and forcing watermarks, so I built my own utility app (OpenScan) in Flutter. As a veteran doing a VA claim, I needed to scan many docs to upload to their site. As a solo developer, I decided to try to make something to fix this need. It's ad-supported to stay free, but the first scan is completely ad-free. Let me know what you think! Please check out all the added features.

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
