Private AI · Runs on your computer
SoloScan reads financial statements, contracts, scans, and payroll records using AI that runs on your machine. Nothing uploaded. Nothing sent to the cloud. Nothing leaves your device.
Free to download · No credit card required · macOS and Windows
It's normal for newly released apps. SoloScan is code-signed by Impavia AB, but Windows SmartScreen and some browsers still flag new apps until enough people have installed them. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to continue.
The Privacy Promise
We do not say this because it is a marketing line. We say it because the AI literally runs on your device. There is nowhere for your data to go.
The AI model runs on your own computer via Ollama. We never send your documents over the internet.
No sign-in. No email required. Your license key is the only credential.
We do not track which documents you analyze, what you ask, or what the AI says.
We cannot hand over data we do not have. Your client confidentiality stays yours.
The honest comparison
Both have their place. Here is what changes when the AI runs on your machine instead of someone else's.
Cloud AI tools are convenient for casual use. For documents covered by client confidentiality, professional regulation, or GDPR, local processing isn't optional, it's the only correct structural choice.
How it works
01
Drag a PDF, scan, Word document, or image into the window. SoloScan reads it locally - including OCR for scanned files.
02
Use a preset (Summarize, Key facts, Find risks, Translate) or ask freely. Conversational follow-ups work like you expect.
03
Past scans are saved locally and reopen instantly. Everything is searchable, organized, and yours.
How it extracts
SoloScan pulls the right clauses, the right numbers, and tells you where it found them, not a wall of OCR you have to skim.
Key terms, dates, parties, and obligations come back as a clean list, not a wall of OCR output you have to skim.
Every answer points to where it came from in the document. Verify in seconds; never wonder if the AI guessed.
English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, and Arabic, including documents that mix scripts and numbers on the same line. Text-based PDFs read cleanest; scanned files are handled with OCR.
What it does
Pulls text from PDFs directly. Falls back to OCR when the PDF is scanned. Handles both in one drop.
Reads .docx files end-to-end. Tables, headings, footnotes.
Phone photos of receipts, contracts, or whiteboards. OCR built in.
Ask follow-up questions. The AI remembers what you have discussed about this document.
Runs Llama 3.2 and Llama 3.2 Vision on your machine via Ollama. Choose the model that fits your task.
Past conversations stay on your device. Reopen any analysis to continue where you left off.

Common questions
Yes. SoloScan uses Ollama to run open-source large language models locally. The first time you launch SoloScan, you will install Ollama (free) and download one of the supported models (Llama 3.2 or Llama 3.2 Vision). From then on, every document you analyze stays on your device.
On Mac: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) with 16 GB of memory or more is recommended. Intel Macs work but the models are slower. On Windows: a modern 64-bit machine with 16 GB of memory or more. A discrete GPU isn't required but speeds up the larger models.
Yes. Once you have installed Ollama and downloaded a model, SoloScan analyzes documents without internet. It only needs a connection for occasional license validation, typically every few hours when online and can keep working offline for up to 3 days at a time.
Yes. SoloScan is free to download and use forever. On the free plan, it analyzes the first 1,000 characters of any document, enough to see it correctly read your real files, with no time limit and no credit card. To analyze full documents and unlock the Vision model (for scans, photos, and handwriting), activate a paid license and enter your key in Settings.
Yes. Open SoloScan, go to Settings → License, and click 'Manage subscription'. That opens the Stripe Customer Portal where you can cancel, update payment, or change seats (for Team plans). If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
SoloScan includes OCR, it can read text from scanned PDFs and photos automatically. For best results with handwriting or complex layouts, use the Vision model.
SoloScan reads English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, and Arabic, including documents that mix more than one of these on a page. Text-based PDFs and Word files come through cleanest. For scanned images and photos, quality depends on the scan, and right-to-left scripts like Arabic can need a closer review. More languages are planned for a future version.
The Solo plan activates on one computer at a time. To move SoloScan to a different machine, open Settings → License and click Deactivate. Your license slot frees up immediately and you can activate the same key on the new machine. The Team plan includes one activation per seat.
The Team plan is for firms with 3 or more people. Each seat gets its own license key activated on one computer. Centralized billing through Stripe means one invoice for the whole firm, and you can adjust seat count yourself at any time from the billing portal. Available at $29 per seat per month or $290 per seat per year (minimum 3 seats).
SoloScan works on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later, and Windows 10 and later. On Mac, Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) gives the best performance. On Windows, any 64-bit machine with 16 GB of memory or more is recommended.
SoloScan is built by Impavia AB, a small Swedish software company. We do not take venture capital, sell ads, or monetize user data. Subscriptions are how we keep the lights on.
