That drawer of paper? Photograph it. ClearChive makes it searchable in seconds and keeps it in your pocket — even offline.
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.
Download everything as a ZIP at any time, organised by document type and year. You are never locked in.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update adds recurring reminders (for rent, subscriptions, and anything else that repeats) and offline access to your pinned documents — your passport or ID is now always on your phone, signal or not. We also fixed the notification bell not clearing, and a bug that could send duplicate notifications.
