## What is Archivist?

Archivist is a document archiving app available for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. No account signup, no login required other than iCloud. And best of all: no subscription. Archivist stores your documents as PDF securely in iCloud Drive, following a simple folder path pattern: Archive Drawer - Topic(s) - correspondent - year - PDF file. Archivist lets you search through your documents using full text search and filter labels like topics, document type, correspondents and archive drawer. Get rid of your messy folder system and let Archivist manage your documents for you! 

Ready for more? Switch on automatic AI document properties detection for new documents for enhanced document labelling including topics, document type and the document title. 
You an also use AI to export the data of a name card as new contact!

Data privacy information: other than document creation with AI support, your document data will never leave your device(s) and Apple's iCloud servers. Archivist will never:
- send data to third parties other than Apple's iCloud service without your consent
- use any of your data for advertising purposes
- store any of your document or user data on other servers than Apple's iCloud servers.
