## What is Alpha Neuron?

Documents turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a simple PDF workbench. Open or scan a PDF, reshape it, then send it on its way — no subscription, no account, no clutter.

Work on one document at a time. Give it pages, edit them, and share the result. Your edits are non-destructive within a session, and Undo and Redo let you step back and forth through your changes.

FIVE WAYS TO EDIT
• Merge — Append other PDFs or images to your document. Reorder, preview, and crop photos of pages before they're added.
• Structure — Reorder pages by dragging, remove pages, add blank pages, and rotate individual pages.
• Extract — Keep only the pages you choose and discard the rest.
• Compress — Shrink file size with Low, Medium, or High compression, and see exactly how much space you saved.
• Resize — Reshape pages to A4, Letter, Legal, or a custom size, in portrait or landscape.

SCAN PAPER
Use your device camera and Apple's built-in document scanner to capture pages straight into your document.

EXPORT YOUR WAY
Optionally password-protect your PDF, then Share it via AirDrop, Messages, and Mail — or Save to Files.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Nothing leaves your device unless you send it. No cloud sync, no accounts. Your files stay on your device while you work.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Try every feature free for 30 days. When you're ready, a single purchase unlocks the app for good — tied to your Apple ID, so it restores automatically across all your devices. No subscriptions, ever.

*2023-03-11*

You don’t have to pay to download the app, but you do have to pay to use it. 

Seriously, you can not use a single feature, or even NAVIGATE THE APP, until you subscribe to a monthly payment. 

JUST MAKE THE APP COST MONEY SO WE STOP WASTING OUR TIME. You know EXACTLY why you’re getting all these 1 star ratings my guy.

A fresh look, top to bottom.

This version is a complete redesign of Documents, rebuilt with a cleaner, more modern interface across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It's the same single-document workbench you know — just more refined.

Still a one-time purchase, with no subscriptions and no clutter — just the Documents you rely on, looking and working better than ever.
