SecDocKeeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep your most sensitive documents secure, local, and strictly in your hands. SecDockKeeper is a local-first, end-to-end encrypted vault designed for the files you cannot afford to lose or leak. Whether it's your passport, medical records, tax forms, or confidential contracts, SecDockKeeper ensures your data stays firmly on your device. There are no accounts to create, no cloud servers to trust, and absolutely zero telemetry. IMPORTANT: Your vault is secured by a master password known only to you. If you lose your password, no one—not even us—can recover your data. CORE FEATURES Military-Grade Encryption: Your master password derives a 256-bit key on the device using Argon2id. Every single document gets its own AES-256-GCM data key (envelope encryption). Smart On-Device OCR: Automatically scan and tag imported images (like passports, IDs, and invoices). All text recognition happens entirely locally, meaning your data never leaves your phone. Total Organization: Group your documents into folders, apply color-coded tags, and filter with a single tap. All metadata, names, tags, and full-text search indexes are secured inside a locked SQLCipher database. Hidden "Stealth" Tags: Need plausible deniability? Create hidden tags that are stored only as HMAC hashes. They are entirely invisible in lists and autocomplete, revealing their linked documents only when you type the exact tag name into the search bar. Secure Split-Sharing: Safely share individual documents. Export a file as an encrypted .sdkblob and a separate .sdkkey.json. Send the file over one channel and the key over another for maximum security. Portable Offline Backups: Export your entire vault as a single, fully encrypted archive (blobs and database only, no key material). Easily restore it on a new device using your original master password. Biometric Convenience: Quickly unlock your vault using Face ID or Touch ID. Your master password remains safely sealed in your device’s platform keychain. Anti-Snoop Defaults: The app immediately auto-locks when sent to the background. Decrypted plaintext is strictly short-lived, and temporary viewing directories are automatically wiped every time the vault locks. ABSOLUTE PRIVACY We believe privacy is a default, not a feature. SecDockKeeper contains absolutely zero analytics and no third-party SDKs in the hot path. There are no network calls for document handling. The only journey your files take is from your device's file picker directly into your encrypted, on-device vault. OPEN SOURCE & AUDITABLE Trust requires transparency. SecDockKeeper is 100% open source under the Apache 2.0 license. Our cryptography, database schema, and import paths are fully auditable by anyone.

FileCue turns everyday documents into organized records, actionable tasks, and timely reminders. Scan paper documents with the camera, import an image from Photos, or enter details manually. FileCue uses Apple Vision to recognize text on device, extract important information, and help you track due dates, payment dates, expiration dates, amounts, and follow-up actions. THREE LANGUAGES FileCue is available in English, Arabic, and Persian. Choose a language in Settings or follow your device, with full right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Persian. Documents are read and stored in all three languages. Summaries, extracted information, and suggested tasks are kept in English, Arabic, and Persian, so changing the app language changes what you read without re-analyzing the document. A reading switch moves the extracted information between English and your own language, and every reading can be corrected by hand. Names, numbers, and reference codes are preserved exactly as printed. SMART DOCUMENT ANALYSIS Standard OCR and document analysis are available on supported devices. On eligible devices, FileCue Pro can use Apple Intelligence on device to improve summaries, categories, important dates, and suggested actions. BILINGUAL AND ARABIC-SCRIPT DOCUMENTS FileCue reads Gulf identity cards and driving licences, Iranian national identity cards and driving licences, machine-readable passports, and bilingual bills and policies, and understands both Gregorian and Solar Hijri dates. PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC Documents, scanned images, and tasks stay synchronized through your private iCloud account across your iPhone and iPad, and synchronization can be turned off to keep a device's records on that device alone. Text recognition and document analysis remain on device. INTERACTIVE HOME SCREEN WIDGETS View open, late, upcoming, undated, and completed tasks without opening FileCue. Small, medium, and large widgets support filtering, pagination, and direct links to related documents, and follow your chosen language and writing direction. TASKS AND REMINDERS Review suggested tasks, edit them or add your own, assign due dates, and receive notifications when something needs attention. DOCUMENTS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Use FileCue for bills, receipts, passports, ID cards, driving licenses, bank cards, insurance documents, contracts, letters, and other important records. PRIVACY FEATURES Sensitive document types can be recognized automatically. Hide sensitive images behind tap-to-reveal and protect bank card details for safer viewing. FILECUE PRO LIFETIME Make one purchase to unlock unlimited documents and tasks, Apple Intelligence document analysis, custom extracted-information rows, copying, sharing, export, and premium document management. The free plan includes up to three documents and two tasks per document. Existing documents remain available after reaching the limit. Apple Intelligence requires an eligible device and must be enabled. Feature availability may vary by device, language, and region. Stay organized, avoid missed deadlines, and keep important documents always on cue.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SecDocKeeper at none against FileCue's 1. SecDocKeeper also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
