Keep all your product manuals organized and easy to search with GuideCabin. GuideCabin lets you store paper manuals, PDFs, and manuals from the web in one place on your iPhone or iPad. Imported manuals can be processed with OCR, allowing you to search not only by product name, but also inside the contents of each manual. Search Inside Your Manuals Looking for how to replace a filter or what an error code means? Search for terms such as “filter replacement” or “E04” and GuideCabin can find matching sections across your saved manuals. Ask Questions Naturally On supported devices, you can search your manuals using natural-language questions such as: “How do I clean the humidifier?” Rather than generating a new answer from scratch, GuideCabin shows relevant passages from the original manual together with the source page, so you can easily check the original information. Chat-based search requires a device and environment that support Apple Intelligence. Standard full-text search remains available on unsupported devices. Import Manuals in Several Ways Add manuals from: ・Your camera ・Your photo library ・PDF files ・Web URLs This makes it easy to bring both paper and digital manuals into one library. Keep Product Information Together GuideCabin can also store useful information for each product, including: ・Product photos ・Purchase date ・Store or retailer ・Warranty expiration date ・Warranty documents and receipts Keep the manual and related product records together instead of searching for them separately. Designed with Privacy in Mind GuideCabin does not require an account and does not include advertising or analytics. Manuals, photos, and search data are stored on your device, and document processing and search are performed on-device. Internet access is used when downloading manuals from URLs and when processing in-app purchases through Apple. Try It for Free You can use all GuideCabin features for free with up to 3 registered manuals. A one-time Premium purchase removes the manual limit. There are no additional feature restrictions in the free version. Keep the information you need close at hand. With GuideCabin, your manuals are easier to organize, search, and find when you need them.
