DocUpick turns paper into smart notes you can find, read, summarize and reuse — all on your iPhone or iPad, with no account and nothing uploaded. NEW IN 4.0 • Import from Files: bring in PDFs and images, or share them to DocUpick from any app. PDFs that already contain text keep it exactly; scanned PDFs and photos are read on-device. • Tables to spreadsheet: DocUpick finds tables on your pages and shows them as a grid. Copy the cells straight into your spreadsheet app, or share a CSV file. • Read Aloud: listen to any document sentence by sentence, with the current sentence highlighted. Tap a sentence to jump there and set the speed you like. • Smart summary: on iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence, DocUpick writes a short summary, key points and a suggested title on-device. On other devices it picks the key lines from your document and pulls out merchant, total and date from receipts and invoices. Every summary says how it was made. • Search from the Home Screen: scanned text, titles, tags and folders show up in Spotlight, and a tap opens the note. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Scan a document with DocUpick", find documents by their text, or pass a document's text to other actions. Quick actions on the app icon start a scan, an import or a search. • App Lock: require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open DocUpick, and hide its contents in the app switcher. • Add to Calendar: dates found in a document open a pre-filled event you can review and save. • Backup & Restore: save your whole library — notes, page images, folders and tags — as one file in Files, iCloud Drive or on a computer. Restoring adds what's missing and never overwrites anything. SCAN ANYTHING WITH TEXT Receipts, invoices, letters, forms, business cards, whiteboards and handwritten notes. Multi-page scanning with edge detection and perspective correction, or import from Photos and Files. Text recognition runs on-device in the languages you choose. SMART NOTES Every scan gets its recognized text, a detected document type, and tap-to-act phone numbers, emails, links, addresses and dates. Receipts and invoices show merchant, total and date. Business cards become a shareable contact card. QR codes and barcodes are detected too. FIND IT FAST Ranked full-text search across titles, recognized text, tags and folders, with the matching words highlighted. Folders with color and icon, tags, pins, filters and sort options. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Image PDFs, searchable PDFs with a hidden text layer, text-only PDFs, adjustable size and watermark, automatic file names from the document's content, CSV export of your library, and Packet Studio for ordered multi-document PDF packets with a cover and contents page. KEEP IT TIDY Page filters, rotation and reordering, merging notes, expiry dates with reminders, an Insights view of your library and a review queue for scans that need attention. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics and no servers. Your documents stay in DocUpick on your device until you choose to share or back them up. iPhone and iPad. Works offline. Apple Intelligence summaries require a supported device with Apple Intelligence turned on; everything else works on every supported device.

Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open. Scan contracts, receipts and IDs into crisp PDFs — then find any of them later by typing one word from inside the document. On-device text recognition (OCR) reads every scan and auto-sorts it into Receipts, IDs, Cards and Contracts, so you never hunt by file name again. It all works offline: nothing is uploaded, no account, same in airplane mode. Lock the app with Face ID and export password-protected PDFs. SEARCH INSIDE YOUR DOCUMENTS — OFFLINE • On-device text recognition (OCR) reads every scan automatically. • Search for a word and find the document that contains it — not just by its name. • Scans are auto-sorted into Receipts, IDs, Cards, Contracts and more — all offline. • View and copy the recognized text, or export it as a .txt file. It never leaves your device. LOCKED & ENCRYPTED • Lock the app with Face ID or your passcode. • Export password-protected, encrypted PDFs to share sensitive documents safely. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No cloud. Your scans never touch a server. • No account. No sign-up, no login, no profile. • No tracking. Zero analytics, zero ads, zero third-party SDKs. • No network. It works exactly the same in airplane mode. FREE TO START — UNLOCK ONCE Download free and try 3 scans on us (free exports carry a watermark). A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited scanning, removes the watermark for good and opens every advanced export — OCR text export, password-encrypted PDFs and the ID-card layout. No subscription, no ads, no trial that quietly starts charging. EVERYTHING YOU NEED • Fast multi-page scanning with automatic edge detection and perspective correction. • Five looks: Original, Color, Grayscale, B&W, and Document enhance. • Reorder, rotate, delete, and add pages anytime. • Smart auto-naming from the document's contents. • ID Card mode: front and back on a single page. • Export PDFs sized to the image, A4, or US Letter — ready to print. • Save to Files, or share to Mail, AirDrop, or Messages. • Scan hands-free with Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, or the Action Button. • A calm, premium interface, designed down to the last detail. • Now available in 44 languages — auto-detected, or switch any time.

That's the whole idea. Optimized for iPhone Duo.
