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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” passport renewals, warranty end dates, bill payments, departure times โ€” 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.
