Is Dokus free?
Yes. The free version is complete on its own: your documents, encrypted on your device, behind Face ID, the built-in scanner, watermarked copies, hiding parts of a copy on iPhone and iPad before you share it, and iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac. Dokus Plus is optional, by subscription or a single purchase, for people who want more, like unlimited documents and reminders before a document expires.
How do I add my documents?
Scan a paper document with the built-in scanner, pick a photo from your library, or import a PDF or image from Files. You can also send one to Dokus from another app with the Share button. Dokus keeps its own copy, and the original stays where it was.
How is Dokus different from Apple Wallet?
They do different jobs, and most people use both. Apple Wallet holds the passes and cards issued to it: boarding passes, payment cards, and an official digital ID where that is offered. Dokus holds your own copy of any document you scan or import, from a passport to a health card, whoever issued it. A copy in Dokus is the one you can find in seconds, share with a watermark, and keep an eye on before it expires.
Where are my documents stored?
On your device, encrypted, and kept out of its iCloud backup: with sync off, they exist only there. If you turn on iCloud sync, they are also stored in your personal iCloud, under your own Apple account. Dokus itself never receives, stores, or processes your documents.
What happens if I lose or replace my phone?
With iCloud sync on, your wallet waits in your own iCloud: open Dokus on the new iPhone, iPad or Mac, signed in to the same Apple Account, turn on sync, and your documents come back. With sync off, they live only on that device and are kept out of its backup, so they go with it. If you want them to outlive the phone, turn on sync.
What kind of encryption does Dokus use?
Apple's own, at every layer: Dokus adds no homemade cryptography. On iPhone and iPad, each document is stored under iOS's strictest Data Protection class, encrypted with its own 256-bit key that your device passcode protects, so shortly after the device locks no one can read it, Dokus included. On a Mac, macOS encrypts the disk, and FileVault ties that encryption to your login password. With iCloud sync on, documents travel over an encrypted connection and are stored encrypted in your iCloud, under keys Apple keeps; turn on Apple's Advanced Data Protection and they become end-to-end encrypted, with the keys only on your devices. The privacy policy explains every layer.
What is Dokus Plus?
Optional, and sold three ways: a monthly or yearly subscription you can cancel anytime, or a lifetime purchase you pay for once and keep. It adds unlimited documents, reminders before a document expires, and copies without the Dokus banner. If a subscription ends, you are back on the free version. The watermark, hiding parts of a copy on iPhone and iPad, iCloud sync, image to PDF conversion and file compression are free for everyone.
