Your family's paperwork, handled.

Pip is a private assistant that lives on your Mac. Drop a document on him and he reads it, names it, and files it into real folders. Pip proposes; you approve.

How Pip works

The family binder, alive. Paper goes in; peace of mind comes out.

1

Drop it in

Any paper — a bill, an insurance letter, a school form. Scan it, share it from Finder, or drag it onto Pip.

2

Pip reads & files

He names it and files it into a real Finder folder, with subfolders by year, person, vehicle and address. Pip proposes; you approve every filing.

3

What matters floats up

Tax deadlines, renewals, appeal windows: a short morning briefing so nothing slips.

Your files stay home.

This is the whole point of Pip. Your family's paperwork is yours, in your own folders. Your documents stay on your Mac.

Real files, real folders

No cloud vault, no database prison. Every document is a normal file in a Finder folder you can open without Pip.

Medical and vital documents get extra care

Once a document is filed as Medical or Vital, Pip keeps its contents out of search and out of his answers. He may read the first part of a new document, on your Mac, to decide where it belongs. That's built into how Pip works, not a setting.

No cloud AI, no Pip server

Pip reads with Apple's on-device AI. No cloud AI, no AI account, no Pip server. Your documents stay on your Mac.

What Pip needs

The librarian himself
