Edit text in scanned PDFs on your phone. No uploads

Retypo edits the text inside a PDF on your phone, including scanned ones. Tap a line, retype it, and the new text keeps the font and look of the original instead of a white patch pasted over it. Everything runs on the device: no account, no upload. It also fills in and signs forms, redacts (the text is deleted, not just covered), scans with the camera, merges and locks PDFs, and converts them to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and EPUB. Free to use; Premium is yearly or a one-time purchase.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Tuan, the maker of Retypo.
I built it because every PDF editor I tried on a phone did the same thing with a scanned document: paint a white box over the word and type on top. It never matches, and anyone can tell it was edited.
Retypo retypes the line instead. You tap it, change the text, and it comes back in the same font, size and ink as the original, so a typo in a scanned contract or a wrong date on a form is fixed, not patched.
Two rules I kept from day one: nothing leaves the phone (no account, no upload, the edit runs on the device), and no tricks (no weekly plans, no watermark).
Everything beyond editing is here too: fill and sign, redaction that deletes the text, scanning, merge, lock, and export to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and EPUB.
It's free to try. I'd love to hear what you'd use it on, and what's missing.
