PaperToPlan turns household paperwork into one clear next step you can check and edit. Scan with your camera, choose a photo or PDF, or send a document from the Share sheet. PaperToPlan reads the paper and drafts the details that matter, such as a due date, amount, contact, or instruction. It also shows the matching words from the paper so you can compare them before you act. MAKE THE PAPER USEFUL • Edit the suggested title and details. • Add a reminder or calendar event only when you confirm. • Ask questions about a saved paper. • Mark work handled and keep the paper in a searchable archive. • Reopen, share, save a copy, or delete saved papers whenever you choose. • Keep a history of recurring bills you decide to track.
