EverFile turns the paper and screenshots piling up in your life into an organized, searchable, private document vault. Add a document by scanning it, taking a photo, importing a file, or sharing a screenshot — EverFile's AI reads it, gives it a clear title, sorts it into the right category, and pulls out the details that matter: amounts, dates, numbers, names. FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS Every document is automatically sorted into smart categories — receipts, invoices, warranties, insurance, IDs, tickets, contracts, medical records, and more. Search by title or content and jump straight to what you need. NEVER MISS A DATE EverFile spots the dates that matter — passport renewals, warranty end dates, bill payments, departure times — and reminds you before it's too late. YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON EVERY DEVICE Turn on iCloud sync and your vault follows you: add a document on your iPhone, open it on your iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your documents are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud — never on our servers. Lock the app with Face ID for an extra layer of protection. WHAT YOU CAN STORE • Receipts, invoices, bank statements, payslips • Warranties, contracts, leases, utility bills • Passports, ID cards, driver licenses, visas • Boarding passes, train and event tickets, hotel bookings • Insurance policies, medical reports, prescriptions, lab results • Notes, to-do lists, shopping lists, recipes and more Start free and see how good it feels to have every important document one search away.
