The single most useful thing about Stoatify is that you can forget where you filed something. Search reads the text inside every document, so you find a policy by typing the insurer's name even when the file is called scan_0042.pdf.


How to search
- 1Click the search bar at the top of any screen (or press
/). - 2Type a word or phrase you know appears in the document.
- 3Narrow the results with the category, tag and date filters beside them.
Behind the scenes, on-device OCR transcribes your scans and photos into searchable text the moment they're uploaded, and nothing leaves your host to do it.
Tip
Need precision? Structured queries like category:Insurance tag:auto due:<2026-01 combine freely with keywords. See Advanced search queries.
