Proof Pocket – Secure Offline Document & File Storage Keep your important documents safe, encrypted, and offline. Scan, store, and protect passports, IDs, certificates, licenses, and other sensitive files on your device using Face ID, Touch ID, or a master password. Your files never leave your phone — full control, full privacy. New in this version: cases. Group related documents into a single case and share or export the whole case as one encrypted file. Why Proof Pocket? A lost or expired document can derail travel plans or delay critical tasks. Proof Pocket gives you instant access to encrypted digital copies, alerts you before documents expire, and now keeps whole sets of paperwork together — so you're never caught off guard. Key Features: - Cases — Group & Share Documents Together: Bundle related documents into a case: a trip, a rental application, a medical file, an insurance claim. Categorize your cases, export a whole case as one encrypted file, and import cases you receive. Send one file instead of a dozen attachments. - Document Scanning & Import: Scan documents with your camera, import from your gallery, or add PDF files. High-quality processing ensures clear, readable digital copies. - Expiration Date Tracking: Set expiration dates on passports, IDs, licenses, and certificates. Receive timely reminders before they expire so you can renew on time — never miss a deadline. - Smart Categories: Organize documents into custom categories — travel, medical, financial, work, personal, and more. Find what you need instantly. - Biometric & Password Protection: Lock your vault with Face ID, Touch ID, or a master password. All files are encrypted with strong cryptography. - 100% Offline & Private: Your documents are stored entirely on your device. No cloud, no servers, no data collection. Complete privacy by design. - Secure Export: Export files as unencrypted copies when you need to share — you decide what leaves the vault. - Device-to-Device Transfer: Migrate your entire vault directly between devices over your local network. No cloud involved — your data stays private. Use Cases: - Travel ready — keep passports, visas, and boarding passes together in one case. Get expiry alerts months in advance. - Applications & claims — bundle a rental application, insurance claim, or visa file into a case and send it as a single encrypted file. - Emergency prepared — instantly access ID copies at embassies, hospitals, or police stations. - Stay organized — group contracts, certificates, and licenses into cases per client or project. - License & certification tracking — monitor expiration dates for driver's licenses, professional certifications, and permits. - Protect sensitive work documents without relying on cloud storage or third-party apps. Your documents. Your device. Your control. Proof Pocket keeps everything encrypted, organized, and offline.
