The scanner is the heart of SnapCabinet. It automatically detects document edges, corrects perspective, and enhances legibility.

- Hold your device steady over the document.
- The app will automatically detect edges and take the shot.
- Review your scans and tap Save.
Organization
Keep your documents tidy with powerful folder management and color-coded categories.
Folders & Tags
Create folders for "Taxes", "Medical", "Receipts", and more. Customize them with colors and icons to find them at a glance.
Search & OCR
SnapCabinet reads your documents so you don't have to. Every scan is analyzed for text content.
Intelligent Search
Just type what you remember—a date, a total amount, or a keyword like "Invoice". SnapCabinet searches the actual content of your documents, not just the file names.
Security
Your documents often contain sensitive personal information. SnapCabinet treats them that way.
Biometric Lock
Enable FaceID or TouchID to lock the entire app. This ensures that even if your phone is unlocked, your private documents remain secure behind a second layer of biometric authentication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data stored in the cloud?
Yes, via your personal iCloud. SnapCabinet uses iCloud Sync by default to backup your documents and keep them available across your devices. Your data is encrypted by Apple, and Elidron has no access to your documents.
How does the OCR work?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. This ensures your privacy while allowing you to search for text within your scanned documents instantly.
Can I export my documents?
Yes, you can export documents as PDF or images. You can share them via the standardized share sheet to any other app, email, or AirDrop.
What happens if I lose my device?
If you have enabled iCloud Backup or iCloud Sync for SnapCabinet, your data can be restored. We strongly recommend enabling iCloud backups to prevent data loss.
