DocsOrb: Organise personal documents
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built DocsOrb because life doesn’t come with a folder structure. A few years ago, my wife and I started saving scans of important documents in a shared iCloud album. It was quick and honestly a lifesaver when we lost our passports. But over time, it became a dump of over 400 images. Duplicates, expired stuff, and nothing was easy to find.
Everyone I spoke to had their own hack. Google Drive, WhatsApp groups, USB sticks. But every system eventually fell apart. Folders got messy, names got confusing, and no one really knew what was worth keeping.
DocsOrb is my way of fixing that. It helps you organize documents by real-life moments like changing jobs, moving abroad, or becoming a parent. That’s how we actually remember things, so it makes finding stuff way easier.
We’re launching in public beta today. The app is fully free to use until mid July 2025. Would love for you to try it out and tell us what you think.
DocsOrb: Organise personal documents
@reid_crooks In this MVP, users create the structures first and then scan/import their scans into the appropriate folders. The "structure" creation is where AI helps, so if you say, you're "Buying a house", AI can create an initial checklist of all the required documents you'd need to 'save'.
In the coming versions, I will have a way that user imports, say, 100 images - then using a few on-device approaches - specifically, OCR + summarising + ML, AI will categorise them into the appropriate folders.
I am approaching this truly with 100% Privacy - so, not yet implementing 3rd party AI that can process your personal documents. But trying out some lightweight models and customising them, so that also happens on your device not taxing too much on device's performance. :)
DocsOrb: Organise personal documents
@reid_crooks So in short:
Current state: Human is the backend that classifies their own documents - into the AI-created checklists OR their own structures too.
Near-future state: On-device ML from scans or imports with OCR text extraction + summarising -> AI processing that to classify -> AI organising them automatically in appropriate structure.
I'm curious-on the Backend part. I want know more about this product. Else I have one doudt. My twitter is @Param__2412, If you're Interested.
