OCRForge | OCR Document Scanner With Text Recognition, iCloud Sync and In-App Purchases - SwiftUI

OCRForge – OCR Document Scanner Template for iOS

OCRForge is a complete, ready-to-publish OCR document scanner built with SwiftUI. Users scan documents with the camera or import photos from their library, and the app extracts text on-device using Apple’s Vision framework. Every scan is saved to a searchable history where it can be viewed, edited, copied, shared as a text file, or deleted. A polished onboarding flow, a one-time in-app purchase paywall, iCloud sync and a full settings screen are all included.

Demo Instructions

• No login and no demo credentials are required. The app is fully functional offline and uses on-device OCR.
• Launch the app in the simulator or on a device, tap Continue through the onboarding, and tap the camera or photo buttons on the OCR List screen to scan your first document.
• The free tier allows 3 document scans and 3 photo text extractions. After that the one-time unlock paywall appears. Restore Purchases is available in Settings.
