About

Docket Reader

Read full description

Docket is a reader for the plans and documents your AI writes. An agent can turn out a dozen designs, plans and debugging notes in a day. They scatter across project folders — visible only when you are at your desk. Step away and you lose the thread. Docket is the reading end of that work. Your agent writes into your own iCloud. Docket queues the new and the changed, and remembers where you stopped in each file. HOW IT WORKS Your coding agent writes Markdown into iCloud Drive. Docket is an iPhone app: it does not run the agent, and it does not host your files. Add the folder once; new documents show up on their own. INBOX What you are reading stays on top and opens where you left off. New and changed files are marked until you have read them. Filter by project or by type. READER Markdown is typeset for a phone — code blocks, checklists, tables, quotes, and math. The chrome stays quiet; only the body takes on paper. YOUR FILES STAY YOURS No Docket account and no Docket server. Documents live in your iCloud. Reading progress syncs with iCloud on your Apple ID. Docket does not upload your documents. Requires iOS 17 or later. iPhone. Docket Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time purchase.
