Proof Pocket โ€“ 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” keep passports, visas, and boarding passes together in one case. Get expiry alerts months in advance. - Applications & claims โ€” bundle a rental application, insurance claim, or visa file into a case and send it as a single encrypted file. - Families โ€” track passport and ID expiry for everyone and keep each person's papers in their own case. - Emergency prepared โ€” instantly access ID copies at embassies, hospitals, or police stations, with an encrypted backup if your phone is lost or broken. - Stay organized โ€” 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.

About

SageDocs

Features
Read full description

SageDocs is a private vault for the documents you can't afford to lose track of: passports, ID cards, driver's licenses, insurance, warranties, vehicle papers, health records and tax files. It tells you before they expire, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your files and document details are encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE Set an expiry date and SageDocs reminds you 90, 30, 7 and 1 days before, or on the day itself. You choose the hour. Reminders are planned across your whole vault, soonest first, so the nearest expiries always get their reminders first. The dashboard's Needs Attention card shows what has expired and what is coming up in the next 7 and 30 days. Snooze 7 Days, Mark Renewed or Open straight from the notification. The Timeline section lists every document by when it expires: overdue, this week, this month and later. START IN SECONDS Pick a template (Passport, National ID, Driver's licence, Car insurance, Vehicle inspection, Health insurance, Home insurance, Pet vaccination, Warranty, Subscription or Visa) and the title, category and reminder schedule are filled in for you. Scan with the camera on iPhone and iPad, or drag files in on Mac and iPad. Text on a photo, scan or PDF can fill in the fields for you, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. KEEP IT TIDY Archive documents you want to keep but no longer track, like an old passport or a cancelled policy. They drop out of your counts and reminders and stay searchable. Pin the ones you open most and they appear first, in a Quick Access row. Fifteen built-in categories, plus your own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Attachments and document details (titles, notes, issuers, reference numbers) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device before anything is saved or synced. Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID or your PIN. Sharing a file always asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your PIN first. SageDocs has no servers of its own, no accounts and no tracking, and it works offline. SYNC THAT STAYS YOURS Documents sync between your devices through your private iCloud account, and only there. Add a passport on your iPhone and it shows up on your Mac shortly after. Sync also works with iCloud Drive turned off. BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets and a Lock Screen widget, Siri shortcuts, a Share extension, Mac menu bar and keyboard shortcuts, an optional Liquid Glass look on iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 or later, and a layout that adapts to iPhone, iPad and Mac. Available in 12 languages. SUBSCRIPTION SageDocs Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. New users get 7 days of full access for free, and the monthly plan also includes a free 7-day introductory offer for eligible new subscribers; the yearly plan has none. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, with the introductory offer, when the free period ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, including the free introductory period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. When a trial or subscription ends, your documents stay yours: you can still open, edit, export and delete them, but adding new documents or files needs Premium.
