Show HN: In My Pocket – An offline personal data vault (apps.apple.com)
1 points by emiliano 462 days ago
I built a privacy-focused iOS app to solve a personal frustration: the constant hunting for information like bank details, loyalty cards, and documents that we need to access regularly.

In My Pocket is designed with these principles:

- Complete data privacy: Everything stays on your device - No internet connectivity required - No cloud syncing/storage - Support for text, images, and PDF documents - Biometric security for sensitive information - OCR functionality to extract text from images and PDFs

Tech details: - Built with SwiftUI - Uses local device storage only - Implements biometric authentication - Features document categorization with tabs and sections - PDF rendering and text extraction capabilities - QR code generation for sharing

I built this primarily for myself but thought others in the HN community might find it useful, especially those concerned about privacy. It's available on the App Store.

I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.
