Sound familiar?
IMG_2347.pdf — and then what?
Scans arrive with meaningless filenames. Finding them means digging.
Deadlines hiding in letters.
Notices, cancellation windows, tax deadlines — buried in documents nobody opens.
Scans not searchable.
Documents scanned, but still impossible to find. OCR stays manual work.
Cloud? No thanks.
Uploading sensitive documents to someone else's servers — not a good feeling, and not necessary.
Here's how it works
-
Import document — scan, PDF, or image.
-
Local AI analyzes content, type, and key data.
-
Automatically filed, searchable, always findable.
Finds what you've forgotten.
Full-text search across all filed documents. No filename guessing — just describe what you're looking for.
AI suggests — you decide.
PaperCinch proposes type, date, and folder. You have the final say. Fully offline.
