DocShelf — Documents Simplified
Keep every document you own safe, searchable, and beautifully organized — entirely on your device. No cloud upload. No subscription. No ads. Just your files, always with you.
WHY DOCSHELF?
Most document apps quietly upload your files to a cloud server. DocShelf is different. Everything stays 100% local on your iPhone. Your contracts, medical records, tax returns, and personal scans never leave your device unless you choose to share them.
SCAN & CAPTURE
Turn your iPhone into a powerful document scanner. Point your camera at any document — receipts, contracts, handwritten notes, business cards, or multi-page reports — and DocShelf captures it instantly. Smart edge detection automatically crops, straightens, and enhances each page so every scan looks sharp and professional.
• Multi-page scanning in a single session
• Auto edge detection and perspective correction
• Contrast enhancement for clear, readable results
• Save as PDF or high-resolution image
ORGANIZE EVERYTHING
No more hunting through a single giant folder. DocShelf gives you a clean, intuitive system to keep every document exactly where it belongs.
• Create unlimited folders and subfolders
• Tag documents across multiple categories
• Full-text search across all your files instantly
• Sort by name, date, size, or custom order
• Color-code folders for fast visual navigation
EVERY FILE TYPE — ONE APP
Import from any app on your phone using the system Share Sheet. DocShelf handles them all:
• PDFs — view, annotate, and share
• Images — JPG, PNG, HEIC from your camera roll
• Documents — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more
• Audio and video files
• Any file your iPhone can receive

APP LOCK
Protect your documents with Face ID or Touch ID. Enable it in Settings > Security and DocShelf locks itself every time you leave the app. Your biometric data never leaves your device.
TRASH BIN
Deleted something by accident? It is not gone. Documents now move to a 30-day Trash instead of being permanently deleted. Restore anything with one tap. Trash clears automatically after 30 days. Find it in Settings > Trash.
SORT AND FILTER
Every folder now has a Sort button and filter chips at the top. Sort by Newest, Oldest, Name A to Z, Name Z to A, Largest, or Smallest. Filter by file type: PDF, Image, Audio, Video, Document, or Note.
