Your documents deserve a home — on your device, yours alone. Pockli is the document scanner that helps you organize your life, not just your files. Scan a receipt, a contract, an ID, your kid's drawing — anything. Pockli gives it a name, a folder, and a place. No more searching through camera rolls. No more "where did I put that?" SCAN IN SECONDS Hold your phone over the page. Tap once. The scan comes out sharp, straight, and ready — a single page or a whole stack. A FOLDER FOR EVERYTHING Create folders that match your life — Family Recipes, Apartment Lease, Paris 2024. Pick a color, choose a symbol, and make each one yours. Set a folder up once, then scan straight into it — every scan comes out the same, named, sized, and ready to find. FIND ANY WORD Pockli remembers the words inside your scans. Search "invoice" or "Dr. Martinez" — find it in seconds, across every folder. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your scans live on your device and your iCloud — secure and private, nowhere else.
