## What is Docfold?

Docfold turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs, and then does the boring part for you.

SCAN
Point the camera at any page. Edges and perspective are corrected automatically, multi-page documents come out as one PDF. Import from Photos or Files too.

NAMED AND SORTED
The text of every scan is recognized on your iPhone. Docfold suggests a title like "2026-09 Verizon Invoice" and a category (receipt, invoice, contract, ID, letter, notes). Accept it or edit it.

RECEIPTS BECOME A TABLE
Merchant, date and total are pulled from every receipt and invoice. The Receipts view lines them up and exports the lot as CSV.

SEARCH INSIDE YOUR SCANS
Search covers titles and the recognized text of every page.

EXPORT YOUR WAY
PDF with a searchable text layer or JPEG pages. Letter, A4 or auto. Three quality levels. Optional password to open the PDF. Share, print, AirDrop or save to Files.

FREE, AND YOUR SCANS STAY ON YOUR PHONE
Docfold is free, paid for by ads. Those ads are the only thing here that uses the network. Your scans, the text recognized from them and every title Docfold suggests are handled on this iPhone and are never uploaded - there is no account and no cloud storage. App lock with Face ID.

Docfold requires iOS 26. Title and receipt suggestions use Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones; on other models Docfold still names scans by date and detects receipt totals.
