## What is Paperlock?

Your paperwork, finally searchable.

Paperlock is a private, Face ID–protected vault that doesn't just store pictures of your documents - it reads them, understands them, and remembers everything for you.

ASK, DON'T DIG
Just type a question the way you'd say it:
• "When does my passport expire?"
• "Find receipts from the cafe last fall"
• "How much did I spend at the hardware store?"
You get a straight answer, with the actual document attached.

YOUR PHOTOS ARE FULL OF DOCUMENTS
Paperlock scans your photo library - entirely on your iPhone - and finds the receipts, IDs, and paperwork hiding in it. One tap locks them all safely in your vault.

EVERYTHING IS UNDERSTOOD AUTOMATICALLY
Scan a receipt and Paperlock knows the store, the date, and the total. Scan your license and it knows when it expires - and reminds you in time — up to 6 months ahead for passports. No folders, no tagging, no filing. Ever.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Locked behind Face ID, encrypted on your device
• Sensitive documents stay blurred until you reveal them
• Your photo library is never changed or deleted
• We never train on your documents, sell them, or look at them

PAPERLOCK PLUS
The free vault holds 25 documents and answers 5 questions a month. Plus gives you unlimited documents and questions, our most accurate document reading, and iCloud sync across your devices - $4.99/month, or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial.

Your documents are yours. Finally searchable.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-30

Your recent questions now live right on the Ask screen — tap one to run it again. Cards, checks, and licenses show in full on their tiles instead of a zoomed crop. Scans straighten themselves even on tricky backgrounds, categories simplify to six plain groups, and a batch of accuracy fixes: no more invented expiry dates, respelled names, or taps opening the wrong document.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-24

Documents that expire now show it right on their tile — amber when it's coming up, red when it's urgent. Fix a misread date with one tap; reminders follow automatically. Passports and IDs now remind you up to 6 months ahead. The free plan now includes 5 full-quality questions every month, and landscape documents like checks import the right way up.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-19

Paperlock now speaks your language — full Japanese, German, French, Korean, and Spanish, on-screen and in answers. Plus a smoother first import, cleaner titles for unlabeled documents, and pinch-to-zoom when viewing a document.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-15

Paperlock now speaks your language — full Japanese, German, French, Korean, and Spanish, on-screen and in answers. Plus a smoother first import, cleaner titles for unlabeled documents, and pinch-to-zoom when viewing a document.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-13

Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements and a refreshed App Store listing. Thanks for using Paperlock!
