You're at the school office and they ask for your child's vaccination record. You know you have it — somewhere at home, in a folder, probably behind something else. You tell them you'll email it later and spend the next forty minutes going through drawers to find it. That's the problem ClearChive solves. Photograph any paper document — a medical letter, an insurance policy, a utility bill, a school form — and ClearChive reads the text inside it, names it, and files it automatically. Not just searchable by file name. Searchable by actual content. Type "vaccination" or "MMR" or "renewal date" and the right document appears. At the school. At the hospital. In the waiting room. Wherever you happen to be. --- YOUR DOCUMENTS, WHEREVER YOU ARE · At a clinic or school — pull up any medical record, prescription, or form in seconds. No more promising to "send it later." · At tax time — search "2023 receipts" and every relevant document surfaces. No paper chase for your accountant. · When a family member needs something — share an insurance policy, a lease, or a utility bill directly from the app. No explaining where the folder lives. · After a flood, a fire, or a house move — your originals stay physical, but your archive doesn't. Everything backed up on encrypted European servers, accessible from any device. --- HOW IT WORKS Point your phone at any paper document. ClearChive reads the text inside it and files it automatically with a sensible name and category. Search your entire archive from your phone or any browser — by keyword, date, or document type. Pin the documents you need most so they're available even without a connection. Download everything as a ZIP at any time, organized by document type and year. You are never locked in. --- YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY YOURS Stored encrypted on European servers — Hetzner, Germany and Finland. Not on US infrastructure. GDPR compliant. No advertising. No third-party access to your files. See our Privacy Policy for details on how documents are processed. --- FREE TO START No credit card required. Choose monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime plan — full pricing is shown in the app before you subscribe. Monthly and annual plans auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
