Afterpage is a home for the documents you don't want to lose. Receipts, deeds, warranties, insurance policies, medical records, tax paperwork, the stuff that used to live in a shoebox or a drawer now lives in one place, organized the way you think about it, and easy to find the next time you need it. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Give a document a tag, a category, or a contact, and it's filed. Name them and color them, and Afterpage keeps track of what you use most so your Home tag or your Taxes 2025 category shows up right when you need it. There's no folder structure to fight with. A tag can connect to other tags, categories, or documents on its own terms, so your Yellowstone Road Trip tag can pull in the Vehicles category without forcing everything into a rigid hierarchy. FIND ANYTHING, FAST Search isn't stuck in one tab. Open your household documents, a warranty folder, or a single contact, and search right there. Afterpage reads the text off every page you scan or import, so a search for "Alitalia" finds the flight confirmation even if you never typed that word into a tag. Results are ranked by relevance, so the document you want shows up first. GET DOCUMENTS IN, THREE WAYS Scan a document with the built-in camera, import a PDF or image from Files, or share it in from Mail, Safari, or Photos without leaving the app. Afterpage stitches multi-page scans into one PDF and reads the text automatically, whether it's a scanned page or an emailed invoice that already has text in it. NO ACCOUNTS. NO CLOUD BUT YOURS. There's no sign-up, no login screen, nothing to remember a password for. Afterpage syncs your documents through your own iCloud account, the same way Photos and Files do. We don't run a server that stores your documents, because we don't need one. FREE TO START You can keep up to 20 documents for free, with tags, categories, contacts, search, and iCloud sync all included. When you need more room, Afterpage Pro lets you keep as many documents as you like. Pro also lets you pick a custom icon for a tag or category, add a background image behind it so your Disney World 2026 folder can look like your trip, and use smart features like title cleanup. Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. If your subscription ends, you can still open, search, share, and export every document you've added. Afterpage isn't a scanner and it isn't an editor. It's where your documents go after that, organized, searchable, and yours. -- Privacy Policy: https://afterpage.app/privacy Terms of Service (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
