About

Paperlock

Read full description

Paperlock is a locked drawer for the papers that matter. Your iPhone can already scan a page. Paperlock is where the scan goes afterwards, when it is something you would not leave lying around: a passport, a lease, a tax return, a medical record. LOCKED AND ENCRYPTED • Locks as soon as you leave it. Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode opens it again. • Every scan, PDF, name and note is encrypted with AES-256 before it is stored. • The key stays in your iPhone's Keychain, on this device only. YOUR PAPERS • Scan paper with the camera. Several pages become one PDF. • Import PDFs you already have. • Give each document a name and a note, and search through both. • Open a PDF, or share a copy when you choose. BACK UP ON YOUR TERMS • A backup is one encrypted file with its own password. • You decide where it goes. Paperlock does not upload it. • A vault password opens your documents on a new iPhone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no cloud, no server, no analytics, no ads. • The app makes no network requests at all. GOOD TO KNOW • There is no password reset. Nobody else holds your key, so nobody can recover it for you. • There is no sync. Your documents are on one phone, and a backup file is how you move them. Paperlock was called Secure Document Vault. If you have it, this update keeps your documents and encrypts them the first time you open it.

Add quantities, units and notes, then use Save & add another to keep going. Attach a photo to a box by taking one or choosing from your photo library. ORGANIZE BY ROOM Browse boxes for the kitchen, bedroom or another room. Add, rename and reorder rooms to match your new home. Mark fragile boxes and choose which ones to open first. FIND THINGS WITHOUT OPENING EVERY BOX Search box numbers and contents. Print A4 QR labels, attach them to your boxes and scan them inside the app to view each box. Choose 3, 4 or 6 labels per page. SEE WHAT IS LEFT TO UNPACK Record each box as Packing, Packed, In transit, Arrived or Unpacked. Check room totals and see which boxes still need unpacking. EXPORT LISTS AND KEEP A BACKUP Export a box list PDF, a CSV of boxes and items, or a ZIP backup that includes photos. Choose where to save your backup and restore it when needed. No account required. Recording and searching work offline. Built for iPhone and iPad, with Japanese, English and Chinese interface options. No in-app purchases or subscriptions. Before you begin • QR codes identify boxes; they do not contain the contents of your inventory. Restore the matching backup before scanning on another device. Automatic sync and shared editing are not included. • Photos are attachments. Item names are entered manually, not recognized automatically from photos. • Printing requires a compatible printer or printing setup. Print labels at 100% on A4 paper. • Save a backup before changing devices or deleting the app. PDF and CSV exports cannot replace a restorable ZIP backup. email:CnhookWuaizhen@gmail.com
