## What is Quire?

Quire turns paper into PDFs you can actually search — on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, without an account and without sending a page anywhere.

Point the camera at a document. Quire finds the edges, straightens the perspective, clears the shadows and reads the text. A letter that has been folded into an envelope comes back evenly lit, without the grey bands along its creases. What you get is a real PDF with a text layer: selectable, searchable, and yours.

Then mark it up. Draw on a page, highlight a line, type a note, sign it — or black out an account number before you send it. A redaction takes the words out of the PDF's text layer too, not just off the picture, so nobody can select what you hid. And nothing is baked in: come back next week and any mark can still be moved, recoloured or taken off, leaving the page exactly as it was scanned.

FREE, AND ENOUGH TO LIVE ON
• Unlimited scans, unlimited pages, no watermark
• Edit mode: draw, highlight, add text and black out anything private
• Text recognition on documents up to 5 pages
• Sign and fill 3 documents a month, with one saved signature
• Export and share as PDF or JPEG
• Recently Deleted, so a wrong swipe is not the end of it

PRO, FOR RECURRING PAPERWORK
• Text recognition on documents of any length
• Search inside every scan, not just the titles
• Auto-naming and filing — receipts, invoices, contracts and IDs sort themselves
• Smart Library: grouped by vendor, by year, and by what still needs a look
• Workflows and Shortcuts: rename, file, save into any Files folder (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox…), email — in one tap
• Receipts to CSV, and tables to Word and Excel
• Unlimited signing, several saved signatures and initials
• Merge scans, extract pages, duplicate a page, split a scan in two, password-protect a PDF
• Book mode and cleanup: flatten a curved page, erase a finger or a stray mark
• Business cards straight into Contacts
• Face ID app lock
• iCloud sync, through your own iCloud account

ON THE MAC
The Mac app is the same library, not a companion. Read a document full-screen and select its text, drag a scan out to the Desktop or into Mail, drop PDFs in to import them, and scan straight from your iPhone with Continuity Camera. The same edit mode is here too — draw, highlight, redact and sign with a pointer. Spotlight finds your scans by their contents.

ON THE IPAD
Library on one side, document on the other, with the Apple Pencil for drawing, signing and filling.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY
Text recognition, classification and naming run on your device. Your scans stay on it, or in your own iCloud if you turn sync on. Quire has no servers, no analytics profile, and no account to create. There is nothing for us to lose.

ONE PURCHASE
Pro is one purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Yearly, monthly, or a one-time lifetime unlock — whichever you prefer. Subscriptions renew until cancelled and can be cancelled any time in Settings; the app tells you what it costs before you buy and reminds you before a trial ends.

Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese.
