About

Truefold

Truefold is a private vault for the documents that run your life — passports, licenses, national IDs, bank details, payment cards, visas, insurance, and certificates — built for the moment you need a number fast. FIND IT IN SECONDS Search across titles, holders, types, countries, and field values as you type. Filter any list by person, country, type, or status, star your favorites, and copy any field with one tap — at the counter, at the border, on the phone with your bank. SCAN IT, DON’T TYPE IT Photograph the photo page of a passport, a national ID, a residence permit, a visa, or the back of a US or Canadian driver licence, and Truefold reads what it can and fills the fields in. Photograph a credit, debit, or travel card and it fills in the number. Every bit of it happens on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded, nothing is sent for recognition, and nothing is saved until you have looked at it. Anything you typed yourself is never overwritten, and if a document looks like it came from a different country than the one you chose, Truefold asks instead of guessing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account to create and no server of ours holding your data. Truefold contains no analytics, no ads, and no tracking. The app unlocks with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, and sensitive values — ID numbers, card numbers, document scans, private notes — are encrypted on your iPhone before they are ever stored or synced. YOUR OWN iCLOUD Your vault syncs through your personal iCloud, so it appears on all your iPhones automatically and restores by itself on a new one. Encryption keys travel only through your iCloud Keychain, between your own devices. Everything works offline — your documents are on your phone, not behind an internet connection. EVERY DOCUMENT IN ONE PLACE IDs, bank accounts, payment cards, travel documents, work and education records, health and insurance, property and assets, finance paperwork, and personal certificates. Capture with the camera and its automatic edge detection, or import from Photos and Files. Cards keep front and back images; records keep attachments you can preview, zoom, and share. YOUR COUNTRY’S DOCUMENTS BY NAME Pick your country and the list leads with the documents you actually carry — Emirates ID, CPF, NRIC, MyKad, Codice Fiscale, PESEL, My Number Card, Aadhaar and more than 160 others across 44 countries — each with the right label and number format. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Truefold follows your iPhone’s language: English, Hindi, Nepali, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. BUILT FOR HOUSEHOLDS Keep records for family members or a business under holder profiles — simple labels inside your vault, with no logins and no sharing complexity. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export your entire vault as a readable archive whenever you want it, or erase everything — including the iCloud copy — with one action. Truefold stores personal reference copies of your documents. It is not a government or official identity document and is not affiliated with any issuing authority.
