What keeps people on CamScanner:Years of polish
The checker split your own version of CamScanner into its key parts and sorted each one.
Scan paper pages

Works out of the box
Review scanned pages
You can preview pages, remove unwanted scans, and change their order before saving.
Works out of the box
Create and share PDFs
Vibecode can combine scanned pages into a PDF and open the iPhone share sheet.
Works out of the box

Works out of the box
A native iPhone app fits camera scanning and sharing PDFs.
Plan ahead: Test camera capture on a real iPhone, since sample scans in the browser cannot show how well real paper scans.
Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for people who want to scan paper documents into PDFs. The main screen should show a local document library with document names, dates, and page counts, plus a clear Scan button. Tapping Scan should open the iPhone document scanner and let me capture multiple pages. Show a preview where I can remove pages before naming and saving the PDF. Tapping a saved document should open its PDF preview with a Share button for the iPhone share sheet. Keep documents on the device without login or cloud storage. Use a clean white design with dark text, blue buttons, and large tap targets. Include realistic sample documents so I can try the library and preview before testing the camera on my phone.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: scan multiple pages and preview them; save scans as named PDFs in a local library; open and share saved PDFs. Plan on an afternoon for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of CamScanner, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).
CamScanner adds its own text recognition and document conversion technology, backed by a team that keeps improving the product. A version you build yourself won't have these: CamScanner's text recognition engine; CamScanner's document conversion engine; CamScanner's ongoing product maintenance.
