## What is Doc Vault?

Doc Vault is a private, offline-first file manager that keeps everything on your device. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking. Your files never leave your phone.

Import PDFs, documents, photos, videos, audio, and web links. Organize them into folders with custom colors and icons. Find anything instantly, even text inside PDFs, scanned documents, and photos.

BUILT-IN TOOLS
• Document Scanner: multi-page scans saved as images or PDF
• Wi-Fi Transfer: move files wirelessly between your phone and computer
• Image to PDF: combine photos into a single document
• Extract Audio: pull the audio track from any video
• Convert Media: HEIC to JPG, MOV to MP4, and more

POWERFUL VIEWERS
• PDFs, images (including HEIC and SVG), videos, audio, and 30+ text and code formats
• Word, Excel, and PowerPoint preview
• Background audio playback with lock screen controls
• Fullscreen video and Picture-in-Picture
• Inline image editor: crop, rotate, flip
• Video and audio trimmer

SMART SEARCH
Search filenames or the actual content of your files. Doc Vault indexes text inside PDFs, OCR from photos and scanned documents, and EXIF metadata. All on-device, so nothing is ever uploaded.
