ScanBridge on F-Droid.
About this app
ScanBridge ist eine App im Material-You-Design, die das Scannen von Dokumenten, Fotos und mehr über das AirScan/eSCL-Protokoll ermöglicht. AirScan/eSCL ist ein weit verbreitetes Protokoll, mit dem du dich über dein Netzwerk mit netzwerkfähigen Scannern verbinden und Dokumente scannen kannst – ganz ohne zusätzliche Software oder Treiber.
Funktionen: • Automatische Erkennung von Scannern: Finde eSCL-kompatible Scanner in deinem Netzwerk.
• Mehrseitige Scans: Scanne mehrere Seiten und ordne sie beliebig an.
• Einstellungsvielfalt: Nutze die Möglichkeiten deines Scanners optimal, indem du Einstellungen wie Eingabequelle, Auflösung, Duplex-Scan, Scan-Bereich, Farbmodus und mehr anpasst.
• Exportieren & Teile: Speichere deine Scans als PDF oder Bilddateien und teile sie direkt mit anderen Apps.
• Modernes Design: Ansprechendes Material-You-Design.
• Benutzerfreundlichkeit: Intuitive und leicht bedienbare Oberfläche.
ScanBridge ist kostenlos, quelloffen und enthält weder Werbung noch Tracking. Die App wurde mit einer Hochachtung auf Datenschutz entwickelt und benötigt keine Berechtigungen – außer der Internet-Berechtigung, um auf den Netzwerkscanner zugreifen zu können. Diese wird von Android automatisch erteilt. Es werden keine Daten oder Telemetrie gesammelt.

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be io.github.chrisimx.scanbridge is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 2.1.2 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall ScanBridge first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of ScanBridge, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets ScanBridge do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
