You can actually directly scan in the Files app from the triple dots menu in the upper right corner, this will allow you to directly scan as a PDF file.
I love Apple, but this is so Apple: hidden powerful functionality you'll only know about through word of mouth or intentional exploration in the UI.
I am partial to QuickScan[1] as it is free and has no ads. It does not seem to be open source though. [1] https://www.quickscanapp.com/
QuickScan looks great and has loads of features, but it might be more accurately described as "nagware" since a donation request is shown on every export until a donation is made (after which point it can be disabled via Settings > Other settings > "Do not show donation request"). Nothing wrong with that; if I were a user I'd certainly donate, just wanted to let other potential users know.

Exploring the UI is a perfectly valid method of discovering functionality. What’s the alternative? The phone interrupting you every 2 steps saying hey by the way, you can also do this and this from here?
(Admittedly, I have never read the manual for any iPhone I’ve owned; mea culpa)
This functionality is already built into the iPhone - in the Notes app, and also in the Files app. What does your software add?

Now, I’ll probably ask Siri. “How can I scan a document with native iOS functionality?” Hopefully I get the right answer back from the LLM! (Admittedly, I have never read the manual for any iPhone I’ve owned; mea culpa)
When it says it saves it to its own library, does this mean scans will not appear in Photos? Is there a way to clean up older files in the library?
