Proof Pocket β Secure Document Vault, Scanner & Expiry Tracker Keep your important documents safe, encrypted, and with you. Scan, store, and protect passports, IDs, certificates, licenses, and other sensitive files on your iPhone using Face ID, Touch ID, or a master password. No account, no Proof Pocket servers β your documents are encrypted on your device. New in 1.7: a completely redesigned app, encrypted iCloud backup, a dedicated Expiry tab, and one-tap Quick Scan. Why Proof Pocket? A lost or expired document can derail travel plans or delay critical tasks. Proof Pocket gives you instant access to encrypted digital copies, alerts you before documents expire, keeps whole sets of paperwork together in cases, and brings everything back from an encrypted backup if you lose your phone. Key Features: - Document Scanning & Quick Scan: Scan with your camera, import from Photos, or add PDF files. Quick Scan opens the camera straight away and saves in one tap β add the title, category, and expiry date whenever you're ready. - Encrypted iCloud Backup (optional): Back up your whole vault to a Proof Pocket folder in your iCloud Drive, or save the backup as a file. Backups are encrypted before they leave your iPhone and can't be opened without your master password. Restore straight from iCloud on a new iPhone. The 3 most recent backups are kept automatically. - Expiration Date Tracker & Reminders: Set expiration dates on passports, IDs, driver's licenses, visas, and certificates. The Expiry tab shows what's next, and reminders arrive 90, 30, 7, or 1 day ahead so you can renew on time. - Cases β Group & Share Documents Together: Bundle related documents into a case: a trip, a rental application, a child's papers, an insurance claim. Export a whole case as one encrypted file, and import cases you receive. - Search & Filters: Find any document by title or category, and filter by category, case, or documents expiring within 90 days. Document contents stay encrypted while you search. - Smart Categories: Organize documents into IDs, medical, financial, travel, personal, and more. Switch between grid and list view. - Face ID, Touch ID & Password Protection: Lock your vault with biometrics or a master password. Every file is encrypted on your device. - Offline First: Scanning, encryption, search, and reminders all work without internet. iCloud backup is optional and off until you turn it on. - Secure Export & Device-to-Device Transfer: Export copies only when you need to share, and move your entire vault to a new device over your local network. Use Cases: - Travel ready β keep passports, visas, and boarding passes together in one case. Get expiry alerts months in advance. - Applications & claims β bundle a rental application, insurance claim, or visa file into a case and send it as a single encrypted file. - Families β track passport and ID expiry for everyone and keep each person's papers in their own case. - Emergency prepared β instantly access ID copies at embassies, hospitals, or police stations, with an encrypted backup if your phone is lost or broken. - Stay organized β group contracts, certificates, and licenses per client or project. Your documents. Your device. Your control. Proof Pocket keeps everything encrypted, organized, and backed up on your terms.
