PDF Archiver

An archive that outlasts the app. Your documents are PDFs in folders sorted

by year — with the date, a description and tags written into the filename.

Readable on any machine, with or without this app.

HOW IT WORKS

• Point your iPhone at the page. The scan lands in your inbox, cropped and

straight.

• Apple Intelligence suggests the date, a description and tags — on your

device.

• Check them, fix what's off, save. The document is renamed and moved to your

archive.

• Find it again in PDF Archiver, in Spotlight, in the Finder, or in whatever

file manager you happen to open — because the search terms are part of the

filename.

Already have PDFs? Drop them in — from your scanner, a mail attachment, your

downloads folder.

WHY PDF ARCHIVER

• Everything stays on your device. Text recognition and suggestions run

locally. There is no PDF Archiver server.

• No account. No sign-up, no password, no email address.
• You choose where files live: iCloud Drive, a local folder, or any folder

you point the app at.

• No lock-in. Your archive is a folder of PDFs. Copy it to a backup drive, a

NAS, a Windows machine — it stays readable.

• Open source. The code is on GitHub.
• A person answers. Questions go to one developer, not a ticket queue. Most

get a reply within a few hours.

ON EVERY DEVICE

iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Widgets show what's still untagged.

Shortcuts automate what you do often. The share sheet takes documents from

any other app.

BUILT SINCE 2018

First release in February 2018, still shipping updates today. One developer,

eight years.

"The Mac app uses a simple file name convention, which simply notes keywords,

data and descriptions in the file name of the documents and can therefore be

used largely independently of the operating system, cloud provider and Mac or

PC application." — iFun
