Other document apps treat your files like cloud assets. DocShelf treats them
like documents — yours, on your device, organised your way, with the
features you'd actually use.
📷
On-device document scanner
Tap Scan, point at any paper, the camera auto-detects edges and corrects perspective — like Adobe Scan but fully offline. Multi-page captures stitch into a single PDF automatically. Powered by Google ML Kit on-device.
📥
Import from anywhere
Pick a single file, multiple files, or an entire folder. Or share from any other app — WhatsApp, Drive, Gmail, Files — straight into DocShelf. The "Find on device" scanner crawls common folders for files you already own.
🗂️
14 starter folders, fully customisable
Identity, Finance, Work, Education, Health, Insurance & Policies, Property, Vehicle, Bills, Receipts & Warranties, Quotations & Estimates, Travel, Family, Other. Add subfolders. Add categories. Delete what you don't need.
✏️
Rich-text notes built in
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, bullet & numbered lists, headings, indent, quote, undo / redo. Pick a sticky-note background colour. Notes save alongside your documents in the same folder tree.
⏰
Calendar reminders for what expires
Toggle "expiry date" on a passport, insurance, lease, license, NDA, software subscription. DocShelf hands the reminder to your phone calendar; the OS delivers it. Survives reboots, battery savers, and OEM kill behaviour.
🔍
Search that actually finds
Search across file names, your descriptions, AND the folder paths each file lives in. Filter by file type — PDFs / images / notes / videos / docs. Find any document in seconds.
🌙
Material 3 with proper dark mode
Indigo-and-amber Material 3 design, Nunito throughout. Light + dark modes both designed intentionally — not a slap-on tint. Every screen reads cleanly at midnight or noon.
🌐
Local-first, forever
No accounts. No upload. No sync. No tracking. No ads. Files live in DocShelf’s private app storage on your device — readable only by DocShelf, never by other apps. To send a copy elsewhere, tap Share inside any file.
