TagSpaces vs PDF Scanfolio

TagSpaces is a private, offline file organizer and note-taking app. Browse, tag, and find your documents, photos, notes, and PDFs — all kept on your device or in your own iCloud Drive. No account, no sign-up, no cloud lock-in, and no tracking. Most apps push your files into someone else's cloud. TagSpaces does the opposite: your data stays yours, in plain files and folders you fully control, readable with or without the app. Organize with tags • Add tags directly into filenames or store them in sidecar files • Group and color your tags for fast visual sorting • Works across all your folders — no proprietary database Find anything, fast • Search by name or tags with fuzzy matching • Filter and narrow down large folders in seconds Notes & to-dos • Create notes in plain text, Markdown, or HTML • Keep simple task lists with the built-in editor View your media • Open images, PDFs, audio, and video right in the app • Preview and manage documents without extra tools Private and offline by design • 100% offline — no internet connection required • No ads, no analytics, no accounts • Your files live on your device and in your iCloud Drive, and integrate with the iOS Files app Open source you can trust The TagSpaces core is open source (AGPL), so anyone can verify how it handles your data. TagSpaces Pro Unlock advanced features with an in-app purchase, including downloading and clipping web pages and files from a URL, and more power tools for your workflow. Part of a cross-platform suite TagSpaces is also available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and the web — organize the same folders everywhere, your way. Take back control of your files. Download TagSpaces and turn your phone into a private, offline home for everything that matters.

Turn paper into PDFs you can actually find again. Point, capture, done. Text recognition (OCR) reads the words inside every document, so "where did I put that?" stops being a question. Scanning, recognition and search all happen on this device. WHAT PEOPLE SCAN • Receipts, invoices and bills • Contracts, warranties and manuals • Business cards • School handouts, letters and forms • Handwritten notes, books and reference material FEATURES ■ Capture straight to PDF Edges are detected automatically. Capture several pages in one go and save them as a single PDF, or split them into separate documents. Photos, files on your device and PDFs shared from other apps go through the same pipeline. ■ Search inside your documents Full-text search across everything you have saved, showing the matching page and line so you land exactly where you need to be. Plain, whole-word and regular-expression modes, plus filters for type, folder, period and amount. ■ Vertical Japanese, read correctly Vertically written pages are read column by column, right to left. Recognized text can be corrected page by page, and corrections improve search immediately. ■ Filed by type, automatically Receipts, invoices, contracts, business cards, warranties, manuals, school notices and medical documents are recognized, and a destination folder is suggested. For a warranty, the reminder suggests a month before a one-year warranty ends. Folders can be nested, renamed, coloured and given their own icons. ■ Sign and annotate Add a signature to a contract or a handwritten note to any page, in the app. ■ Read the details off a receipt Counterparty, date and total, plus tax amount, tax rate and the qualified invoice registration number where one is printed. Every field is editable and searchable. ■ Never miss a due date Set a reminder and the document appears in the Due Dates list, overdue first, with a count on the Home screen. ■ Lock what matters Face ID or passcode can lock the whole app, a folder, or one document. Locked documents are blurred in every list and stay out of search results. ■ Backup Export your entire library as a password-encrypted archive and restore it on another device. ■ Widget and Siri Start a scan from the Home Screen widget or by asking Siri. The Due Dates widget shows how many documents are overdue or due within 7 days — counts only, never a name. Shortcuts can search your documents or open the due-date list. iPad is fully supported. PRIVACY Scanning, text recognition, classification and search all happen on this device. Your documents are never uploaded, and no account or sign-in is required.
