Your life runs on documents. 1Shelf runs them for you. Insurance, leases, prescriptions, visas, warranties, boarding passes, receipts — the paperwork of a life is scattered across six apps, three clouds, and a camera roll you will never scroll through. 1Shelf is the layer that holds all of it, understands it, and acts on it. An operating system for your life admin. EVERYTHING COMES IN • Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive—your files import themselves • Forward anything to 1Shelf on WhatsApp, or to your own 1Shelf email address • Scan your camera roll for receipts, bills, tickets, and IDs—detection runs on your device, and nothing is saved until you confirm • Or just snap a photo and let go IT FILES ITSELF • Every document is read, given a name you would actually recognize, and sorted—Identity, Vehicle, Finance, Medical, Travel, and more • Search inside your documents, not just their names—every word of a PDF, photo, or receipt • Your whole shelf stays searchable with no signal IT KNOWS WHO'S WHO • 1Shelf finds the people on your documents—you, your family, everyone else—and gives each of them a card • Every passport and ID in one place, with its expiry date; numbers stay hidden until you tap • Each person's documents together, sorted by category, along with the trips they're on • Filter any search by person—your father's medical reports, your daughter's school forms • Got someone wrong? Merge, split, or correct them, and undo any change IT TELLS YOU WHAT'S NEXT • Weekly Spotlights surface expiring passports, lapsing insurance, and renewals—before the late fee hits • The reminder comes from the document itself; nothing to set up, nothing to enter twice ASK IT ANYTHING • "When does my car insurance expire?" "When does Dad's passport run out?" "What did I spend on groceries last month?" • 1Shelf answers in plain language, does the math across every receipt, and sends the file back • On WhatsApp too, without opening the app IT TRAVELS WITH YOU • Forward your bookings and a live itinerary assembles itself—flights, hotels, activities, weather, and PNRs pulled from the documents • Invite family and friends by link or code; everyone sees the plan and the documents—and each other on the map, when they choose to share • See whether each traveler's passport and visa is still valid for the trip dates • Split what you spend—equally, by shares, or custom amounts—with running balances until everyone is settled, in any currency, even offline YOURS, AND PRIVATE • 256-bit AES encryption, at rest and in transit • Your data is never used for advertising or to train our AI models • Stored in your own region—United States, Europe, or Asia Stop filing.
