Macworld TL;DR: Get an iScanner lifetime subscription on sale for $40 (reg. $199). Desktop scanners are bulky, location-bound, and slow to set up when you only need a quick scan. iScanner is an iOS scanner app that puts all the functions of a desktop scanner into your phone, and that’s just the start of what it can do. A lifetime subscription is also now on sale for $39.99 (reg. $199). Open the app, frame the page, and shoot. iScanner auto-detects edges, fixes perspective, and cleans shadows. Save or export as PDF, JPG, DOC, XLS, or TXT, then share wherever you work. It’s handy for signed forms, receipts, IDs, books, and notes whenever you’re away from your desk. Built-in tools even let you do things desktop scanners can’t. Add text, highlight, blur sensitive lines, apply watermarks, merge or split pages, and lock folders with a PIN. OCR supports 20+ languages, so scanned text becomes editable and searchable. Specialty modes cover real-world tasks like ID-card scanning, object counting, quick measurements, QR codes, and there’s even a math mode for solving printed equations. The lifetime plan includes updates and 200 MB of cloud storage, so you don’t have to clog your phone with scans. Right now, it’s only $39.99 to get an iScanner lifetime subscription, but this sale ends soon. iScanner App: Lifetime SubscriptionSee Deal StackSocial prices subject to change.08:00 amThis band also powers your Apple Watch—and it’s 50% off
