1Shelf: AI Document Scanner

Your life runs on documents. 1Shelf runs them for you.

Insurance, leases, prescriptions, visas, warranties, boarding passes, receipts — the paperwork of a life is scattered across six apps, three clouds, your phone's own storage, and a camera roll you will never scroll through. 1Shelf is the layer that finds all of it, holds it, understands it, and acts on it. An operating system for your life admin.

EVERYTHING COMES IN
• Scan your phone's storage for the documents you already have — PDFs and document photos sitting in Downloads, Documents, Screenshots, and WhatsApp. Years of backlog filed in one pass, instead of hunting folder by folder. Needs All files access; detection runs on your device, and nothing is saved until you confirm
• Scan your camera roll for receipts, bills, tickets, and IDs—same on-device detection, same confirmation
• Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive—your files import themselves
• Forward anything to 1Shelf on WhatsApp, or to your own 1Shelf email address
• Or scan a new document with your camera and let go

IT FILES ITSELF
• Every document is read, given a name you would actually recognise, and sorted—Identity, Vehicle, Finance, Medical, Travel, and more
• Search inside your documents, not just their names—every word of a PDF, photo, or receipt
• Your whole shelf stays searchable with no signal

IT TELLS YOU WHAT'S NEXT
• Weekly Spotlights surface expiring passports, lapsing insurance, and renewals—before the late fee hits
• The reminder comes from the document itself; nothing to set up, nothing to enter twice

ASK IT ANYTHING
• "When does my car insurance expire?" "What did I spend on groceries last month?"
• 1Shelf answers in plain language, does the math across every receipt, and sends the file back
• On WhatsApp too, without opening the app

IT TRAVELS WITH YOU
• Forward your bookings and a live itinerary assembles itself—flights, hotels, activities, weather, and PNRs pulled from the documents
• Share a trip and everyone sees the plan and the documents—and each other on the map, when they choose to share
• Split what you spend—equally, by shares, or custom amounts—with running balances until everyone is settled, in any currency

WHY 1SHELF ASKS FOR ALL FILES ACCESS
• Finding the documents you already have is the main thing 1Shelf does. Android's media APIs return only photos and videos, and the file picker returns only files you pick by hand — neither can find a PDF that another app saved. All files access is what lets 1Shelf find them for you
• It reads document files only — PDFs and document images — and never writes to or deletes anything on your device. Decline it and the camera scanner, cloud connectors, and WhatsApp forwarding all still work

YOURS, AND PRIVATE
• 256-bit AES encryption, at rest and in transit
• Your data is never used for advertising or to train our AI models
• Stored in your own region—United States, Europe, or Asia

Stop filing. Start living.
