About

Sheaf

Features
Read full description

Sheaf is a mobile-first app designed for reviewing business documents — contracts, NDAs, term sheets, policies — without uploading them to a third-party service. Open a Word or PDF on your iPhone or iPad, flag the clauses that matter with a long-press, and keep your work on your device wherever you happen to be reviewing it. A 7-day free trial lets you test the full app before committing to a subscription. MOBILE-FIRST, NOT MOBILE-PORTED Sheaf is designed around how a phone actually gets used — short windows, scrolling with a thumb, and very little typing. The capture flow is deliberately minimal: one field for your flag note, and you're done. Add a voice memo, a photo, or more detail later if you want. • Long-press a clause to capture a flag. For Word documents, the selection snaps to the whole paragraph automatically — no precision dragging on a phone. • Four flag kinds — Issue, Risk, Question, Note — to triage clauses at a glance. • Voice memos and photos can attach to any flag — useful when typing on a phone is the wrong tool. • Group documents by Matter to keep clients and projects separated. • Cross-document search across every file in your library. • Annotated PDF export for hand-off. Portable JSON flag export for sharing your review with a colleague who also runs Sheaf. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS UNTIL YOU SHARE IT Sheaf does not have a server. There is no Sheaf account to sign up for, no Sheaf cloud to upload to, no analytics pipeline, and no third-party SDKs phoning home. Your documents, your flags, your voice memos, and your photos live only on your device. • The local database and document store are protected with iOS data-protection class Complete — encrypted at rest, inaccessible while the device is locked. • Face ID / Touch ID app lock is built in. • The original Word or PDF file is never modified. Annotations live in a separate on-device store; the file you imported is byte-identical to the file you can hand back. • The only way your work leaves the iPhone is when YOU tap Share, AirDrop, or Mail. You stay in control of every byte. • No advertising, no ad SDKs, no data-broker pipelines. Sheaf is paid for by its subscribers, not by selling your reading. FOR Attorneys reviewing privileged contracts on the train. In-house counsel who need to skim an NDA between meetings. Founders reviewing term sheets they'd rather not paste into a chat tool. Procurement, HR, compliance, and finance professionals who handle documents that shouldn't leave the device. If you need a multi-user comment thread synced through a vendor, Sheaf isn't that. If you need to review a business document on a phone without trusting a cloud, Sheaf is exactly that. — SHEAF SUBSCRIPTION A Sheaf subscription is required to use the app. Start with a 7-day free trial — full feature set, no commitment. After the trial, continue with one of two plans: • Sheaf Pro Monthly — $9.99 per month • Sheaf Pro Annual — $79.99 per year (about 33% off monthly) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price of the selected plan. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
