About

Keepfolio

Keepfolio is the refined, personal vault for everything you own. It solves a universal friction: you buy something valuable, and months later, when you need to file an insurance claim, request a repair, or recall a purchase date, the receipt is faded, the serial number is hidden, or the warranty card is lost. Keepfolio brings order to your belongings by giving you one elegant place to store purchase details, invoices, manuals, and documents, complete with timely reminders before warranties expire. Designed exclusively for personal use, Keepfolio focuses entirely on calm utility. It is not an enterprise asset manager, a complex inventory system, or a cluttered accounting tool. Adding an item is virtually frictionless: a name is all that is required to create an entry. Serial numbers, purchase dates, stores, notes, and attachments can be added immediately or filled in over time whenever you have them. A Built-In Document Vault Keepfolio allows you to attach receipts, invoices, warranty cards, and equipment manuals as images or multi-page PDFs. Scan paper documents directly using built-in camera scanning or import files effortlessly from your device. Smart on-device text recognition analyzes your documents to suggest key information like names, prices, dates, and store locations. You remain in complete control: OCR suggestions never overwrite your data or invent details automatically, ensuring your records remain accurate and intact. Proactive Expiring Reminders Never let a valuable warranty slip away unnoticed. Keepfolio allows you to set clear expiration dates and sends quiet, timely notifications before coverage ends, giving you ample opportunity to request repairs, purchase extensions, or resolve issues before it is too late. Offline-First and Fully Private Keepfolio is engineered around absolute privacy and reliability. Every action—from adding items and scanning documents to performing instant searches—works entirely offline without an active internet connection. Your personal data, document scans, and purchase history never leave your device to be processed on external third-party servers. When enabled, your database syncs securely across your devices via your private iCloud account, operating silently in the background without blocking your workflow. Thoughtfully Crafted Design Built specifically for iOS and iPadOS, Keepfolio features a tailored dark visual environment crafted to feel modern, cohesive, and premium. The fluid layout fully supports Dynamic Type and VoiceOver accessibility features, ensuring a comfortable, accessible, and high-performance experience across all your screens. Key Features: * Effortless entry creation requiring only a simple item name * Comprehensive storage for purchase dates, serial numbers, stores, and notes * Multi-page PDF and high-resolution image attachments for receipts and manuals * Integrated VisionKit camera document scanner * On-device OCR text recognition with full user verification * Timely warranty expiration notifications and reminders * Global currency support with fixed historical entry tracking * Fast, local search across all stored items * Fully offline-first architecture for total independence from networks * Automatic, background iCloud sync across iOS and iPadOS devices * Modern dark-mode visual interface with accessibility support Take control of your possessions with a quiet, organized system designed to keep your most important documents ready whenever you need them. Would you like me to adjust any specific section to emphasize a particular workflow, or refine the layout further for your App Store Connect submission?
