TinyCld puts your whole office in one quiet app β mail, real documents, spreadsheets, files, calendar, and contacts, together and yours. No ads, no algorithm, no infinite scroll. Just the tools you actually use every day. WHAT'S INSIDE β’ Mail β Threaded conversations, folders, and search. Tracking pixels are blocked and external images load through a server-side proxy, so senders can't see your IP or know when you opened a message. β’ Docs β Real .docx documents on your phone. Format, comment, and collaborate with headings, lists, tables, and suggesting mode. β’ Sheets β Spreadsheets that actually work. Formulas, pivots, and .xlsx round-trip, right from your pocket. β’ Drive β Files with versioning, thumbnails, link sharing, and role-based permissions. Yours, not the cloud's. β’ Calendar β Shared calendars, recurring events, RSVPs, and reminders. A week that looks like a week. β’ Contacts β A shared directory with favorites and notes, in one quiet place. YOUR CLOUD, YOUR RULES TinyCld is open source and self-hostable. Run it on your own server in about fifteen minutes, or use a hosted instance. Either way, you keep the keys. OPEN STANDARDS, NO LOCK-IN Mail syncs over IMAP and SMTP. Calendars over CalDAV. Contacts over CardDAV. Files over WebDAV. Documents and spreadsheets round-trip as .docx and .xlsx. Keep using Apple Mail, Calendar, and Finder β or Word and Excel β alongside if you want, and walk away with everything any time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No analytics. No tracking pixels. No data mining. When you self-host, nothing leaves your server. The app does what you ask, and nothing else. ONE APP, ONE LOGIN Switch between mail, docs, sheets, and files without bouncing between apps or tabs. One place for the work you do every day. FREE FOREVER $0 per user, no seat counting, no upsell. Open source under AGPL.

Turn separate scans into a navigable document packet. Choose saved PDFs, arrange sections and build a separate PDF with a cover, linked contents page and section bookmarks. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the library β Build document packet. Enter a packet title and add saved PDFs. 2. Edit section titles and use Edit to reorder or remove sections. 3. Build the packet and review the total page count and PDF preview. 4. Export the packet PDF or share an assembly receipt with input and output hashes. The source scans remain unchanged. 5. Changing the title or sections clears the frozen result. Build again to refresh it. Use the existing camera, import, OCR and local PDF-library tools to prepare source documents, then assemble a packet for handoff without altering those originals. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 16 documents, 200 source pages, 50 MB per input and 100 MB combined. Encrypted or copying-restricted PDFs are rejected. Existing text and page orientation are preserved, but image-only pages do not gain OCR from packet assembly. Newly generated contents links and section bookmarks target the packet; verify pre-existing source links separately. The packet is exported as a separate file and is not automatically added to the scan library. Built for iPhone and iPad. No account required for this workflow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TinyCld at Free against Pagecrisp's $0.99. TinyCld also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Pagecrisp's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
