Read full description

When applying for a rental, job, or loan, you often need card IDs (driver's licenses, passports) and multi-page paperwork (leases, contracts). Juggling messy photos and worrying about identity theft makes submissions stressful. Passfolio is an ID wallet and document binder built for submissions: keep IDs and multi-page files neatly organized in one place. Bundle required items into a "Packet", arrange them in order, add purpose watermarks, and export a clean PDF or image package ready to submit. Your documents stay strictly on your device and in your personal iCloud private database. We operate zero developer servers and cannot view your files. Text recognition runs on-device with zero ads and zero tracking. ◆ PACKETS: BUNDLE & SUBMIT IN ONE GO - All-in-One Submission: Gather required IDs and paperwork into a single packet—no more digging through multiple apps. - Quick Templates: Choose a common scenario—rental application, new job, visa, bank account—when creating a packet. - Drag & Reorder: Freely adjust submission sequence to match the recipient's checklist. - 1:1 Scale Photocopies: Merge front and back of cards onto a single page at true physical size—ready to print and submit. - Purpose Watermarks: Stamp custom text (e.g., "For Rental Only") with timestamps to prevent misuse. - Expiry Warnings: Alerts highlight expired or expiring documents before you submit. - Password Protection: Secure exported PDFs with an independent password. ◆ DUAL-LAYER: CARDS & DOCUMENTS - Card Stacks: Licences and passports stack like a wallet and open instantly in full-screen. - Multi-Page Documents: Contracts and leases are presented as clean A4 pages with smooth browsing. - Family Members: Group documents by family member so everyone's paperwork stays organized. - Extracted Text: View and copy on-device recognized text by page for effortless form filling. - Expiry Tracking: Track document validity automatically with dedicated renewal alerts. ◆ ON-DEVICE PRIVACY & SECURITY - Zero Developer Servers: Stored strictly on your device and in your personal iCloud. We cannot access your files. - Local Processing: OCR text recognition, edge detection, and expiry parsing run entirely on-device. - Masked Numbers: Sensitive numbers stay hidden by default; reveal only via Face ID or Touch ID. - Biometric Lock: Protect sensitive documents with an independent biometric lock. - Zero Ads or Tracking: Strictly compliant with privacy standards. No tracking, no ads. ◆ PURPOSE WATERMARKS & REDACTION - Proportional Rendering: Watermarks adapt dynamically across all export sizes (full cover, diagonal, or corner). - Redaction: Mask sensitive numbers or home addresses before exporting copies. - Direct Photo Watermarking: Stamp photos directly from your camera roll with watermarks or redactions without saving them into your wallet. ◆ FAST CAPTURE & LOCAL SEARCH - Smart Camera: Auto-crops borders with continuous front-and-back shooting; import photos or PDFs directly from Files. - Add Pages Freely: Snap a photo or select files whenever appending new pages to existing paperwork. - Instant Local Search: Full-text search indexes titles and recognized text on-device for instant retrieval. - Shortcuts: Long press the Home Screen icon, use Siri, or trigger the Action button to scan or search quickly. ◆ FREE & PASSFOLIO PRO - Free: Store up to 10 documents (max 20 pages) with 4 built-in purpose watermarks. - Passfolio Pro: Unlimited documents and pages, plus custom watermarks. Available as monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions. ◆ SUBSCRIPTION TERMS - Payment charged to Apple ID account at purchase confirmation. - Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24h before period ends. - Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. - Privacy Policy: https://slipcase.online/privacy-policy.html - Terms of Use: https://slipcase.online/eula.html
