Share your kids' school papers with your partner and family. Just snap it -- sorting can wait. It stays on your device, so it never disappears. No ads, ever. OurPost turns the papers and PDFs your kids bring home from daycare, preschool, and school into a shared family inbox. One photo, and both parents know what's inside -- no more papers that only reach one parent. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH OurPost 1. Snap a paper the moment it lands in your hands 2. Import photos or PDFs straight into the inbox 3. Pull PDFs in from the school's app through the OS share sheet 4. Sort with Lists and Tags whenever you like -- nothing to choose at capture time 5. Search later by the words on the page, with on-device OCR 6. Deleted prints stay in Trash until you permanently delete them, and can be restored 7. Invite your family with a single code 8. Get a push notification the moment a new print arrives BUILT FOR MOMENTS LIKE THESE - "Did you see that permission slip?" -- solved the second you snap it - Sort later, on your own time -- no child or category to pick while you're capturing - Find what a paper said, long after the paper itself is gone - Even when print duty falls on one parent, both stay in the loop OurPost saves to your device first. Capture, browse, and search all work offline, and everything syncs automatically with your family once you're back online. It's the one copy you can still trust after the paper is gone. OurPost has no ads. Capturing, importing, organizing, searching, and family sharing are all free. Families support up to 6 members on both free and BitFlap One -- no gap between them. Free cloud storage is 100MB; BitFlap One expands it to 100GB, and works across every other BitFlap app too. Share your kids' papers with your partner and family. Snap it, and it's there when you need it. Terms of Service (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
