Papersort turns your smartphone into a private document folder. Scan receipts, invoices, contracts, and letters. Papersort does the rest: sorting them automatically, filing them away, and finding them again whenever you need. No cloud by default. No account. No compromise on privacy. FINALLY, ORDER IN YOUR PAPERWORK We all know it: the drawer full of loose notes, the pile on the desk, the bill you tell yourself you will "put away later." Papersort puts an end to that. Hold your phone over a document and Papersort scans it, recognizes the text, sorts it into the right category, and files it away. Finding it again takes only seconds thanks to our keyword search. SCAN & RECOGNIZE Point your camera at any document and create a sharp digital copy. The built-in text recognition (OCR) reads the entire content and makes every document searchable. Single pages or multi-page documents, all in one go. You can also import existing PDFs straight from your Files. SORT AUTOMATICALLY Papersort automatically recognizes what you scan: invoices, contracts, insurance documents, receipts, and more. Of course, you can also create your own categories. No fiddly tag typing, no shuffling things around. It just works right away. FIND EVERYTHING INSTANTLY This is made possible by our full-text search across all your documents. Looking for last March's electricity bill? Type in a keyword, done. No more digging through folders and endless scrolling. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your documents stay on your device. By default, nothing leaves your phone. By default, there is no cloud upload and no account needed. You can use Papersort right away and completely anonymously. Encrypted backups are available optionally for extra security. Fully GDPR compliant, all data is processed locally. We never see your documents, because we never have them. OPTIONAL SYNC Want your documents on multiple devices? Turn on iCloud sync and Papersort keeps your collection in sync through your own iCloud.
