The problem
Most scanner apps keep charging you to digitise paper.
You wanted a PDF. You got an account, a watermark, and a subscription that locks the file the month you cancel.
Subscriptions for a camera
$4–$10 a month to scan a lease. VellumTap is $20 once.
Cloud copies of private pages
Contracts should not need a login. Scan, OCR, and PDF stay on the device.
Watermarks on the fourth page
Free keeps three clean documents. Pro removes the cap. No stamp, ever.

Questions
Before you buy
How do I get the app?
Download the Android APK from this site and install it on your phone. Chrome may warn that the file did not come from an app store — tap Download anyway, then Install. Full APK install steps.
Is this a subscription?
No. $20 NZD once. You keep Pro on that device after you redeem the code.
Why is this not on Google Play?
We sell and ship the app ourselves. You download the APK here, pay Stripe for Pro, and skip Play’s merchant delays and fees.
Android says the file may be harmful. Is that normal?
Yes, for any app installed outside Play. The warning is generic. Allow Chrome or Files to install unknown apps, then install VellumTap. The APK is signed by OwnForge.
I live outside New Zealand. What will I pay?
The price is set in NZD. Stripe converts it, so most overseas buyers pay less than $20 in their own currency.
Do I need an account?
No. The app scans without a login. Web checkout only needs payment details through Stripe.
Do documents leave my phone?
No. Scan, OCR, and PDF stay on device. The internet is only used for payment and unlock-code checks.
What if I lose the code?
Keep a screenshot or email yourself the success page. If you paid and lost the code, contact OwnForge with your Stripe receipt.
