Search inside your PDFs. All of them. At once.
DocFind indexes an entire library of PDFs — scanned ones too, with on-device OCR — so one search returns every match, ranked, with the page and the sentence around it.
What it does
One search. Every document. Ranked.
Most PDF apps search one open file. DocFind builds a searchable index of everything you add, then hands you the matches — honestly labelled, page by page.
One search, whole library
DocFind builds a searchable index of every document you add, so a single query checks all of them and ranks what it finds.
Scans become searchable
A scanned page is a picture of text — invisible to ordinary search. DocFind's on-device OCR reads it and folds the words into the same index, with OCR-found matches labelled so you always know where a hit came from.
Jump straight to the match
Tap a result to open the exact page with the match highlighted, then step through the other matches in the document.
Index once, search instantly
Libraries persist. After the first indexing pass, every later search is immediate.
Honest about its limits
DocFind tells you when pages aren't searchable yet, how much OCR work remains, and which results came from recognition rather than the original text.
Accessible by design
Full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type at every size, light and dark appearance.

Scans, unlocked
On-device OCR makes scanned pages searchable — results labelled OCR.
How it works
Four steps. Nothing leaves your phone.
From your first PDF to a highlighted match — with every document staying on your device the whole way.
Add your PDFs
Pick documents with your phone's own file picker — DocFind opens only the files you choose, and never asks for your photos, contacts or location.
Index once
DocFind builds a searchable index on your device and tells you which pages are scans that aren't searchable yet.
OCR the scans
One tap runs on-device text recognition — Apple's Vision on iPhone, Google's ML Kit bundled into the app on Android — and folds the recognized words into the same index. Page images are never sent anywhere.
Search and jump
Type once, get every match ranked with its page and snippet, and open it with the found word highlighted.
Privacy
Private, because it has to be.
Searching, indexing, reading scanned pages and exporting all happen on your device, with no internet connection — your documents are never uploaded. On iPhone DocFind ships with no network capability at all; on Android the only thing that talks to the network is Google Play, when you look at or make a purchase.
