WHY PAPERLY

100% offline

The app makes zero outbound network connections of its own. Your documents never leave your phone. The only network use is for Play Store in-app update

prompts, handled by Google Play Services itself.

Private by default

No sign-up, no email, no analytics, no third-party trackers, no advertising IDs. The app cannot leak what it does not collect.

Real encryption for sensitive files

The Vault uses AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption. The key is wrapped by the Android Keystore, which is hardware-backed on most modern devices, meaning

the key cannot be extracted even by a rooted attacker.

Built for speed

Native modules for compression, scanning, and batch jobs. WorkManager-backed batch queue keeps long compress and OCR runs going even if you switch apps.

Modern, clean interface

Dark-mode-first design, smooth animations, and a layout built around real document workflows instead of a wall of buttons.

WHAT YOU GET

- A serious PDF editor that works on a flight, in a basement, or anywhere with no signal

- Output saved to a clearly labeled Downloads/Paperly folder so you always know where your files are

- A scanner that turns paper into searchable, sharable PDFs in seconds

- A vault that is genuinely secure, not just hidden

- A toolkit that respects your time and your privacy

PERMISSIONS

Paperly uses storage, media, and camera permissions only when you actively choose a file or start a scan. The notification permission is used for batch

progress only. Internet permission is used only by Google Play for in-app updates; the release build blocks plaintext HTTP entirely.
