## What is The Papers?

We all have a bunch of papers at home that we think we don't need until we are away or just can't find them fast enough.

This little app gives you a way to store the papers in the form of images or scanned PDFs all in one place. So later you can view, print or send any of it whenever is needed.

And by adding some metadata, you can easily find what you are looking for, by searching or even by following the links between the papers.

We know that papers can contain really personal data such as medical records and bills, financial documents and IDs. So all the fields, except the names and titles, are encrypted. And only you, with your password, PIN or device biometrics can view them. Names and titles are not encrypted to let you quickly browse the papers or contacts without having to log in on every launch of the app.

You can store up to 50 papers for free as long as you want. For more, we are offering advanced accounts, so we can pay for the servers and continue to improve the app.

Thank you for giving us a chance to make the world a bit more organised, and recycling the papers when the originals are not needed.

### 4/5 — Love the concept

*2023-05-06*

I hope this app continues to be developed. It's a great concept but needs a little improvement. 

Please fix the date setting : when I enter a date and save, it's always a day behind. This may be a time zone issue. For example, document date of issue, I select 4.27.23. When I view the information, the date is 4.26.23. Same happens when I enter birth dates in contact fields.

*Needs to be a way to edit categories.
*Would like to see substacks!
*On my iPad the biometric setting doesn't seem to work - I have unlock with biometrics set but I always have to enter my password. It works fine on my iPhone.

Please update and continue development! It will be fantastic when all the little bugs are worked out!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

I will take a look at the dates issue soon. As well as the iPad biometrics. The custom categories will come with the v3, preparing some other improvements in the metadata editing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.2 — 2023-06-19

The papers' preview images zooming and swiping were significantly improved

### 2.3 — 2023-06-12

New button to unlock the data from the start screen.
Improved display of the contacts list with a lot of people in it.
Fix for the instant search.
Overall performance improvements.

### 2.1 — 2023-04-03

The multiple files importing pop-up (when dragging a folder, for example), now have checkboxes to exclude some of the files.

If the data is locked, after the text recognition the icon shows a lock with an action that unlocks the data first.

Fixed weird behaviour: when adding a new file or image to a paper with reordered previews, all the previews were restored to their initial positions. Now they keep updated positions.

### 2.0 — 2023-03-12

Fast automatic on-device text recognition. You'll love it!
New interface for the recognized text with the easiest way to set the metadata.
Improved search, contacts import, link to the app store to rate the app, and many more.

### 1.10.2 — 2023-01-23

New colours!

A new Modern theme for the users that did not like the old red-orange (called Classic) one.

For the rest, the old theme is still available in the new theme settings.

Plus way to set light or dark mode permanently and not follow the system.

And, of course, a new stylish icon.
