Envelope

Some documents you simply need to have with you. Envelope is a leather wallet for your phone — one place for the documents you actually need at hand: passport, ID card, driver's licence, vaccination record, travel insurance, tickets for a show. Open the app and they are right there. One tap to show them. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Envelope has no servers and needs no internet connection. Your documents are never uploaded, never analysed, never shared. There is no account to create and nothing to sign up for. We cannot see your files — by design. PROTECTED BY YOUR FACE OR FINGERPRINT Turn on the optional biometric lock and Envelope asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode every time it opens, and again whenever you return to it. BUILT FOR SHOWING DOCUMENTS • Show mode raises your screen to full brightness, so it works at a border desk or a roadside check • Pinch or double-tap to zoom into the small print • PDFs and images open instantly, full screen GET DOCUMENTS IN, EASILY • Pick any file already on your phone • Scan paper with the camera — edges detected and straightened automatically • Send files straight from other apps into Envelope ORGANISE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO Keep everything in one place, or create envelopes — Travel, Car, Health — and move documents between them. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese. Envelope follows your phone's language, or you can choose your own. FREE TO START Keep up to 3 documents and 1 envelope at no cost. A single purchase unlocks unlimited documents and envelopes, forever. One payment — no subscription, no recurring fees.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EE at none against Envelope's 1. EE also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
