Life keeps asking for the same papers. School, work, travel, and family matters can send us looking for records we’ve already found and checked before.
We’re building ShowPapers so that effort carries forward. Keep original documents, useful details, and notes together, ready for the next time you need them.
Keep the context.
A correction, a checked detail, or a note should stay useful beyond a single request. Our open .showpapers format keeps that context with your original files as a collection moves between compatible tools.
Keep control.
You choose what to save, how to organize it, and what to share. The iPhone and Android apps help you scan or import documents, review details extracted with on-device AI, and keep papers and notes together.
Make the next time easier.
We’re building toward a more connected way to keep your records current, find what you need, and reuse selected information across compatible apps and services. The context should stay with your records, and you should control what gets shared.
