Here's my story.

I'm the person who almost never put things back in their place. It's not because I'm lazy or because I don't want to, it's because I'm always on the rush.

I have 2 kids in school, 3 properties, a job and a lot of things to joggle at the same time. It often happened that someone from school, HOA, doctor's office handed me a document which I needed to keep for a period of time. It was either a reference or prof of something. Because it was a huge hustle to scan, rename and move it I just kept it here and there until I eventually lost it (to read correctly: my wife threw it away tired oof moving it from here to there). I remember I used to have documents scattered in my Photos App, iCloud and 2 different scanning apps.

I realized that If I had an app which allowed me to scan in a folder where I had pre-configured a naming convention, compression rate and orc-enabled as needed, I would stop avoiding putting things in their place from the start. So I've created Pockli.

The app is simple, it has:

- a home view where you can quickly scroll to your favorites, recents, tags and 2 shortcut folders. I wanted to see the files preview in a larger format, so I don't have to open different documents to identify the needed one. - a files view - similar to Apple Shortcuts app. You can crete your folders in different colors and add a symbol as to quickly identify the folder. From the files view you can search in the curent folder on all folders by file name or content. You can also import documents and open pdfs directly in Pockli.

Here's the flow: I've created different folders for my car, receipts, kids school, etc. I configured individual naming convention and compression rates. Next, when I receive a document I want to keep, I just open that folder and scan it directly in. That's it. The end.

The app uses Apple APIs for scanning and editing documents, so you can do things like document markup, resize, etc.

The app is freemium so it has a subscription or a lifetime purchase. I offer a 7 days trial period. Why a subscription, you ask. It's because I want to add multiple features like local LLM, create a custom PDF engine, and others. So hopefully the app will get traction and I can start sooner my work on these features.

Before we go there, I know you can scan in Files and Apple Notes - but the created files are big and not all documents are worth ~2MB and additionally you do have to manually rename your files.

Thank's it. Waiting for feedback. Thanks for reading this.
