Every document, handled.
HearthScan is the document desk of your home. Scan from a real scanner, from your phone's browser, or drop in existing files: everything flows into one place, gets straightened, cleaned, read and named, and stays on your own computers. No cloud, no account.
Three ways in. One smart pipeline.
However a paper enters your life, it ends up in the same tidy place.
Your real scanner
Works with the scanner you already own. Load the feeder and every page is scanned in one go, automatically, straight into your documents.
Your phone's camera
HearthScan shows a local address. Open it in the phone's browser (same Wi-Fi), snap the paper, and it lands on your PC instantly. No phone app to install, so it works on every phone in the family.
Files you already have
Drag in photos of receipts from your phone backups, old scans, screenshots. They join the same pipeline and get the same treatment.
It reads, straightens and names. So you don't.
Straighten & clean
A crooked photo of a newspaper becomes a flat, white, readable page: perspective fixed, tilt corrected, shadows evened out, edges trimmed. Like magic, except it's math.
It reads your documents
Built-in OCR runs locally and turns scans into searchable text, so a scan stops being a dumb picture. Your documents are read on your machine, never on someone's server.
Smart names, not IMG_2389
Instead of a folder full of mystery numbers, documents get names that mean something, so the electricity bill from March is findable next year when you actually need it.
Multi-page PDFs
Combine any scans into one PDF ("PDF from all"), or export single pages as PDF, JPG or PNG. Rotate, review and manage everything in a gallery that feels like 2026, not 2009.
One scanner for every PC
The scanner is plugged into the office PC, but you're on the laptop? Trigger the scan remotely and the page arrives at your desk, verified and encrypted, over your own network.
Speaks your language
The app itself comes in 18 languages, including full right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic layouts, because the document desk of the home should feel at home.
Part of the Hearth family
HearthScan is completely free, and it's built on the same private home-network technology as HearthWire and HearthVault. Scans can reach any computer in the house, and your backups can keep them safe.
