Papersort turns your smartphone into a private document folder. Scan receipts, invoices, contracts, and letters. Papersort does the rest: sorting them automatically, filing them away, and finding them again whenever you need. No cloud by default. No account. No compromise on privacy. FINALLY, ORDER IN YOUR PAPERWORK We all know it: the drawer full of loose notes, the pile on the desk, the bill you tell yourself you will "put away later." Papersort puts an end to that. Hold your phone over a document and Papersort scans it, recognizes the text, sorts it into the right category, and files it away. Finding it again takes only seconds thanks to our keyword search. SCAN & RECOGNIZE Point your camera at any document and create a sharp digital copy. The built-in text recognition (OCR) reads the entire content and makes every document searchable. Single pages or multi-page documents, all in one go. You can also import existing PDFs straight from your Files. SORT AUTOMATICALLY Papersort automatically recognizes what you scan: invoices, contracts, insurance documents, receipts, and more. Of course, you can also create your own categories. No fiddly tag typing, no shuffling things around. It just works right away. FIND EVERYTHING INSTANTLY This is made possible by our full-text search across all your documents. Looking for last March's electricity bill? Type in a keyword, done. No more digging through folders and endless scrolling. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your documents stay on your device. By default, nothing leaves your phone. By default, there is no cloud upload and no account needed. You can use Papersort right away and completely anonymously. Encrypted backups are available optionally for extra security. Fully GDPR compliant, all data is processed locally. We never see your documents, because we never have them. OPTIONAL SYNC Want your documents on multiple devices? Turn on iCloud sync and Papersort keeps your collection in sync through your own iCloud. Or connect Papersort to your own Paperless-ngx server and keep using your existing document management. Both are completely optional, run through your own account, and can be turned off again at any time. MADE FOR YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE Freelancers: invoices and tax documents always at hand. Tenants & owners: rental contract, utility statements, and insurance documents in one place. Families: easily digitize school papers, doctor's letters, and warranty cards. Students: scan and file lecture notes, certificates, and official letters. For everyone: trade your paper chaos for a system that actually works. DELIBERATELY SIMPLE Papersort is not an overloaded document management system. No learning curve, no complicated settings, no setup wizard. Install, scan, done. Get Papersort and bring order to your paperwork, completely private. End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Xdo ist eine bewusst minimalistische To-do-App für Menschen, die von überladenen Aufgaben-Apps überfordert sind. Reduziert auf die wichtigsten Funktionen – die dafür richtig gut gemacht sind. Kein Feature-Dschungel, keine fünf Prioritätsstufen, keine endlosen Einstellungen. ERLEDIGEN STATT VERWALTEN Die meisten To-do-Apps werden zu Friedhöfen für Aufgaben, die nie passieren. Xdo ist anders: Aufgaben leben hier so kurz wie möglich – weil du sie schnell umsetzt, statt sie ewig zu planen. Rein, erledigt, raus. EIN SIGNAL STATT FÜNF PRIORITÄTEN Vergiss komplizierte Prioritätssysteme. Du markierst mit einem Tipp, was heute wichtig ist. Mehr nicht. Was zählt, steht oben. Der Rest wartet. ALLES AN EINEM ORT Jede Aufgabe lebt an genau einer Stelle. Gibst du ihr ein Datum, wandert sie automatisch nach „Heute" oder „Geplant". Keine Dubletten, kein Suchen. DREI TABS, MEHR BRAUCHST DU NICHT • Heute – was heute zählt, plus alles, was du als wichtig markiert hast • Eingang – schnell reingeworfen, sortiert wird später • Listen – deine Projekte und Bereiche, ruhig und übersichtlich GEMACHT FÜR DEN DAUMEN Neue Aufgabe in unter zwei Sekunden. Datum per Wisch, erledigt per Tipp. Alles dort, wo dein Daumen ist. DEINE AUFGABEN GEHÖREN DIR Kein Konto. Kein Tracking. Keine Werbung. Keine Analyse-Dienste. Deine Daten bleiben auf deinem Gerät. KOSTENLOS Xdo ist gratis. Keine Testphase, kein Haken – lade es und leg sofort los. Xdo ist für alle, die nicht mehr Produktivität wollen – sondern weniger Lärm.
