## What is Cella?

Cella stores and organises receipts, bills, letters and other documents on your iPhone, iPad and macOS.

Add documents by scanning paper, importing files or photos, sharing from another app, or pasting text. Cella uses AI to group them, add tags and extract details such as amounts and due dates. You can review and correct those details.

Search your documents, review spending and upcoming due dates, or ask questions about a document or your collection. AI answers include references to the source documents. AI can make mistakes, so check important information against the original.

PRIVACY AND AI
Cella can process documents on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence or a downloaded AI model. With on-device processing, document contents stay on your phone. No Cella account is required.

With Max, you can connect a cloud AI provider using your own API key and enable it for each document vault. Content and questions needed for processing are sent directly to that provider, subject to its terms and privacy practices. Provider charges are separate.

PLANS
The free plan has limits on documents, custom document groups and AI questions. Plus and Max offer higher limits and additional features, including a PIN-protected Private vault. Password-encrypted backup and restore are available.

Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew unless cancelled in App Store settings.

REQUIREMENTS
Apple Intelligence requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible iPhone, and Apple Intelligence enabled and ready. AI availability depends on your device and selected model. Model downloads and cloud AI require internet access. Optional crash diagnostics can be turned off in Settings.
