Show HN: Unscanny – an app designed to turn screenshots into actions

1•goktugcancakmak•9mo ago
Ever had to manually type out a phone number from a screenshot? Or worse — switch between your photo gallery and WhatsApp just to write someone a message? That frustration led me to build something simple but powerful.

Meet Unscanny – an app designed to turn screenshots into actions.

It all started when I kept seeing local businesses post their phone numbers on Instagram stories. No clickable links, just plain numbers. I had to screenshot, open my phone app, and type the number manually. Even worse, some said “DM us on WhatsApp or Telegram” — again, no links, just text.

So I built Unscanny, an app that: Lets you share a screenshot directly from your gallery Detects phone numbers and emails in the image Gives instant actions like Call, Message on WhatsApp/Telegram, Send Email, or Copy

But I didn’t stop there.

Someone sends you their IBAN as an image? Unscanny detects it and lets you copy it instantly. Need to send crypto and they send their wallet address as a QR code screenshot? Unscanny scans it and gives you the address in one tap.

All the annoying bits — gone.

Available now:

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unscanny/id6739267314

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goktug.uns...

Built from real pain points. If you've ever typed something you could've just tapped — Unscanny is for you.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or feature ideas!

You can already do this though, both iphones and androids can read the text from images, without having to install or pay anything.

And on my Pixel I can just hold the "pill" and circle the text, or I open the photos app and do it there. Or if I wanted to, I could install Google Lens and use that, for free.

Thank you for your interest KomoD. Unscanny helps you to open number directly on WhatsApp or Telegram. And it also has different features like detecting emails, IBANs and QR code screenshots. I hope you'd find it useful:)
