Zency Local-First Document Vault & Offline Scanner App

Personal documents accumulate across email threads, photo rolls, and scattered folders, making it difficult to find receipts, contracts, or identification when they're actually needed. Zency functions as a private document scanner and vault designed to run offline on iOS and Android devices, storing files locally rather than defaulting to cloud storage. The application scans or imports PDFs and images directly from Files, Mail, Drive, and the system share sheet, then applies OCR to make all content searchable. Users can search inside scanned documents by policy numbers, company names, or specific phrases rather than relying on filenames, with matching text highlighted in results. When useful dates appear in documents, Zency surfaces renewal periods, due dates, and warranty expirations to help users act on time-sensitive paperwork. For receipts and invoices, the app extracts total amounts and detects tax-related information, maintaining the original scan as source evidence while enabling export to CSV or PDF. Zency clarifies it is not tax software and does not determine deductions. Documents can be linked to specific contacts, preserving context for freelance contracts, invoices, or shared family records. Use cases highlighted on the site include maintaining a secure digital emergency binder for family paperwork, organizing receipts and tax expense records, tracking contract expirations and renewals, and storing warranties alongside identification documents such as passports, driver's licenses, and insurance policies. Medical notes, school forms, household records, and payment invoices are also mentioned as typical file types. The pricing structure includes a Basic Free tier offering document scanning and import, OCR and content search, contact and note management, smart date suggestions, suggested amount insights for receipts, and unlimited CSV export for tax records. Free users are limited to ten pages per document and two PDF tax reports per year, with no account required. Pro access costs a one-time payment of thirty-nine dollars, unlocking unlimited pages per document, advanced search with highlight and snippet views, document linking, Google Drive backup and restore, and unlimited PDF tax report export. The application emphasizes a local-first architecture, keeping core documents on the device for private access unless users opt into Google Drive backup for recovery purposes.
