Docuary
Passports, licences, insurance and certificates — kept in an encrypted vault on your own phone. Photograph a document and Docuary reads every word inside it, so you can search for a policy number and actually find it. No account, no servers, no tracking.

Built for documents you cannot afford to lose
Every feature works with the phone in aeroplane mode. Nothing here needs a connection, an account, or a company to stay in business.
Scan and Straighten
Photograph a document and Docuary finds the page edges, corrects the perspective and files it. No manual cropping, no flatbed scanner, no shoebox of blurred photos in your camera roll.
Live Edge Detection & Auto-Capture
The camera finds the page edges while you frame it, and the outline turns gold when the page is steady and fully in view. Turn on auto-capture and it takes the shot for you, hands-free. The detection runs on your phone on a low-resolution copy of the preview; nothing is stored, uploaded or read until you press the shutter.
Multi-Page Documents
Scan the front and back of a card, or every page of a policy, into one document. Add or remove pages later, and the crop editor starts on the edges Docuary already detected.
Search Inside Documents
On-device text recognition reads every word on every page, so searching for a policy number, a name or a reference finds the document that contains it — not just the ones you remembered to title well.
Passport & ID Recognition
The machine-readable strip on a passport or ID card is parsed automatically, including its check digits, so document numbers and dates fill themselves in rather than being retyped by hand.
Expiry Reminders
Docuary tracks issue and expiry dates and warns you in good time. The notification never names the document — a lock screen should not announce that your visa expires next month.
Share Several at Once
Select multiple documents and send them by email or WhatsApp in one action. Decrypted copies exist only for the duration of the share, and are wiped when the vault locks.
Vault Insights
A dashboard showing what is expiring, what you have filed, and where the gaps in your own protection are — computed on your device and reported to nobody.
Documents That Delete Themselves
File a boarding pass, a one-time ticket, or anything else you only need briefly under the Temporary category, and Docuary auto-deletes it 90 days later — no follow-up needed. A visible countdown badge and two advance warnings (7 days, 1 day) mean it never disappears as a surprise.
Restore on a New Phone
Lost or replaced your phone? Reconnect Google Drive, enter your recovery passphrase, and every document syncs back down automatically. You can also export the whole vault as one local encrypted file — no Drive required — and import it back in on this device or another.
Backup that stays private
Docuary works completely offline and needs no account. If you want your vault to survive a lost phone, you can back it up to a hidden folder inside your own Google Drive — encrypted before it leaves the device, under filenames that are random identifiers rather than your document titles.
How backup handles your data →- Completely optional — off until you turn it on
- Encrypted on your phone before upload; Google stores ciphertext
- Uses the drive.appdata scope — Docuary cannot see any other file in your Drive
- No Google Sign-In, so your email address is never received
- Filenames are random ids, never your document titles
- Restore on a new phone with your recovery passphrase
- Or export/import the whole vault as a local encrypted file, with no Drive involved at all
- Disconnect and delete the backup at any time
Nothing to collect, nothing to breach
Most document apps ask you to trust a company. Docuary is built so that you do not have to. Your documents are encrypted with a key derived from your passphrase, and that key never leaves your device — so the developer cannot read them, and neither can anyone who takes your phone.
Read Full Privacy Policy →- No account, so there is nothing to breach
- No advertising SDK, no analytics, no crash reporting
- No developer-owned server exists
- Text recognition runs on your device, never in a cloud
- AES-256 encryption with Argon2id passphrase strengthening
- Keys held in your phone's secure hardware
- Documents hidden from screenshots and the recent-apps view
What Docuary asks for, and why
Four permissions, three of them optional. Docuary requests no broad storage access, no microphone, no contacts, no SMS, no call log and no location.
