Find records without extra setup

Optional local history, favourites and search are Free. The All scans menu includes All, Scanned, Created, Favourites and collection filtering. Number circles show row positions in the displayed list; they are not scan counts or permanent IDs.

Select and delete deliberately

Long-press a row to enter selection mode. Clear clears the selection; Delete asks for confirmation before removing selected records. Back first exits selection, then returns a normal root screen to Scan. Files exported outside the app remain separate copies.

Organise with Pro

Pro adds editing titles, notes, collections and tags through Organise. Existing saved content remains readable with basic local history access. There is no MintScan account or cloud history sync: installing the app on another device does not fetch your library.

Create a password-encrypted backup

Use the Pro backup tool in Settings and follow the prompts to save the backup file. Choose a strong password and keep it separately. The backup is password-encrypted; the on-device database is not separately encrypted by MintScan. We cannot recover a forgotten backup password.

Restore the right thing

Use the Pro restore tool with your backup file and its password, following the prompts before making changes. Restore purchases is a different action: it restores Pro access for the purchasing Google Play account, not Library data. Keep an existing backup until you have checked the restored records.

MintScan is in internal Android testing. Core scanning and standard creation are Free; advanced tools require a one-time lifetime Pro purchase. Your local Google Play price appears in the app. Compare Free and Pro.
