FileCue turns everyday documents into organized records, actionable tasks, and timely reminders. Scan paper documents with the camera, import an image from Photos, or enter details manually. FileCue uses Apple Vision to recognize text on device, extract important information, and help you track due dates, payment dates, expiration dates, amounts, and follow-up actions. THREE LANGUAGES FileCue is available in English, Arabic, and Persian. Choose a language in Settings or follow your device, with full right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Persian. Documents are read and stored in all three languages. Summaries, extracted information, and suggested tasks are kept in English, Arabic, and Persian, so changing the app language changes what you read without re-analyzing the document. A reading switch moves the extracted information between English and your own language, and every reading can be corrected by hand. Names, numbers, and reference codes are preserved exactly as printed. SMART DOCUMENT ANALYSIS Standard OCR and document analysis are available on supported devices. On eligible devices, FileCue Pro can use Apple Intelligence on device to improve summaries, categories, important dates, and suggested actions. BILINGUAL AND ARABIC-SCRIPT DOCUMENTS FileCue reads Gulf identity cards and driving licences, Iranian national identity cards and driving licences, machine-readable passports, and bilingual bills and policies, and understands both Gregorian and Solar Hijri dates. PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC Documents, scanned images, and tasks stay synchronized through your private iCloud account across your iPhone and iPad, and synchronization can be turned off to keep a device's records on that device alone. Text recognition and document analysis remain on device. INTERACTIVE HOME SCREEN WIDGETS View open, late, upcoming, undated, and completed tasks without opening FileCue. Small, medium, and large widgets support filtering, pagination, and direct links to related documents, and follow your chosen language and writing direction. TASKS AND REMINDERS Review suggested tasks, edit them or add your own, assign due dates, and receive notifications when something needs attention. DOCUMENTS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Use FileCue for bills, receipts, passports, ID cards, driving licenses, bank cards, insurance documents, contracts, letters, and other important records. PRIVACY FEATURES Sensitive document types can be recognized automatically. Hide sensitive images behind tap-to-reveal and protect bank card details for safer viewing. FILECUE PRO LIFETIME Make one purchase to unlock unlimited documents and tasks, Apple Intelligence document analysis, custom extracted-information rows, copying, sharing, export, and premium document management. The free plan includes up to three documents and two tasks per document. Existing documents remain available after reaching the limit. Apple Intelligence requires an eligible device and must be enabled. Feature availability may vary by device, language, and region. Stay organized, avoid missed deadlines, and keep important documents always on cue.

Verdict
