Coming to iPhone and Android — January 2027

You open the mail.
It tells you what to keep and what to shred.

Photograph a piece of mail. It reads it, tells you what to do and when, and whether the paper can go in the shredder.

Bills become a checklist. Deadlines land on one screen. The pile stops growing.

January 2027 · Get Organized Month Meanwhile: how long do you keep any document? →
The register, as it ships. A real bill becomes a verdict with the reason.

What it does with one photo

Open the envelope once, point the camera at it, and the piece is read in about seven seconds. Four things come back.

Reads it

Who sent it, what it is, the amount and the due date, and a plain summary. Phone numbers and websites printed on the page become buttons.

Keeps the dates

Every deadline on one Due screen, and a reminder three days before it hits. Your own dates too, for the mail that never gave one.

Rules on the paper

The question that actually stops you from throwing mail out: can this go, and does it need shredding. Keep, for how long, or destroy. With the reason.

Account number is on it. The amount and date are saved here.

Three steps, then the shredder

01

Photograph it

Open the envelope once. One shot per page; a five-page statement stays one piece. Photos you already took, or a screenshot, work too.

02

Read the verdict

The summary, the checklist with its dates, and the answer paper never gives you: keep, or shred, and for how long.

03

Destroy the paper

Shred what identifies you, recycle the rest, file the few that matter. The photo is your copy, searchable and dated, on your phone. One tap saves the whole catalog as a zip.

Privacy

It reads your mail without anyone else reading your mail.

Your mail is the most sensitive paper you own, so the app is built backwards from that fact. There is no account, and no database of yours anywhere. Photos, verdicts and dates live on your phone.

To be read, the pages of one piece go once to the reading service, which hands them to the AI and forgets them: nothing is stored, nothing is logged but a count. You say yes to that inside the app, in plain words, before the first read. Prefer your own AI account? Connect your own key in Settings and the service is never involved.

Delete a piece and its photos go with it. Delete the app and everything is gone. We couldn't sell your data if we wanted to; we never have it.

One price, once. No subscription. Cataloging is free forever, and reading is a single unlock. Rent is for landlords with expenses; we don't have any.
