Private, on-device document intelligence
Scan a receipt, an ID, a policy, a bill. Catadoc reads it right on your phone and turns it into facts you can search, copy, and share. No renaming files, no folders, no cloud.

Point the camera at paper, or pull in the photos of documents already on your phone.
Type, title, people, amounts, and dates, laid out as a profile instead of a filename.
"Bills under 2000." "Passport expiring soon." Your words become filters, and the filters become answers.
Understand
The scan is the source. The profile is the point. Open any document and the facts are already waiting, each one a tap away from your clipboard:

Find
No filenames to remember, no folders to dig through. Ask the way you'd ask a person: your words turn into visible filters you can keep, combine, and clear. Every suggestion comes from your own library, so every tap finds something.
Organizes itself
IDs, Insurance, Receipts & Bills, Medical, Travel, Tax. Documents sort themselves the moment they're understood, then group again by what matters inside each collection: receipts by merchant, IDs by family member.
ERIKA — Passport
Expiry 8 May 2028

And the everyday things
Long-press any document and its top facts are ready to paste: passport number, invoice number, amount.
The documents you reach for weekly stay pinned first, always one thumb-length away.
Anything with an expiry date, from passports to policies, surfaces on the home screen 60 days before it lapses.
A blurry scan gets flagged the moment it lands, so you can retake it while the paper is still in your hand.
Face ID or fingerprint before anyone sees your library. It holds your IDs, after all.
Contracts and statements stay together. Scan page after page into a single document and share it as one PDF.
Protect
Most scanner apps send your documents to their cloud to "understand" them. Catadoc was built the other way around: understanding runs on your phone, so your documents never need to travel at all.
Understanding, search, and storage never touch the network. The app makes exactly one kind of network request: the feedback you write and choose to send. Nothing else, ever.
Your library is an encrypted database keyed from the phone's secure keychain. Lose the phone, not the secrets.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing phoning home, nothing to leak. Delete the app and everything is gone.
Your documents stay inside. Understanding, search, and sharing all happen on the device itself.
Where it earns its keep
Passport + bank letter + insurance, one PDF, under the portal's 2 MB cap. No sketchy merge site involved.
Every invoice already titled, totalled, and findable by "invoices from 2025" when your accountant asks.
Everyone's documents in one place, grouped by person, with expiry warnings before renewal panic.
The receipt from 14 months ago, found by store name instead of scrolling your camera roll.
