Capture, classify and search receipts, contracts and files with AI, on the device where possible. One architect builds the app, at a fixed price per milestone.

Four ways in, one architect

Already have an engineering team? Then bring me in for an Architecture Review, a single app or the vendor review.

A document management app turns receipts, contracts and files into searchable, structured data. Sensitive documents are processed on the device where possible, instead of sending them to a cloud.

Proof, not promises

PaperlessIQ is an AI-native document client for iPhone with on-device classification. DokuAI turns a photo and voice note into structured reports. Both built by me. See PaperlessIQ

Typical features

  • Scanning, classification and tagging
  • Full-text search across all documents
  • On-device AI for sensitive data, so less data leaves the device
  • Multiple accounts and a secure inbox

Start small with a First Version (MVP) from $27,800.

Price, contract and data

  • Every step has a fixed price, set in writing before work starts; extra scope is added only through a change order you approve in writing.
  • The code sits in your repository from day one; with each paid milestone, the rights to everything delivered up to that point pass to you. Third-party components and pre-existing tools keep their own licences.
  • For rescues and new builds, 90 days of free bug-fixing after launch, on top of the 12-month warranty under the Terms. Ongoing operation starts at $1,400 a month.
  • You contract with DigitalFreedom Global LLC, Wyoming, USA. All prices are net; the tax treatment is clarified before contract and stated in the offer.
  • Our infrastructure is in the United Kingdom and Europe. Where I process personal data on your behalf, we sign a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). The provider overview on digitalfreedom.co.za lists the subprocessors, their locations and the contractual safeguards.

Common questions

How much does a document management app cost?

A lean First Version (MVP) starts from $27,800, a market-ready app with its server side from $83,300. Fixed price; the scope sets the price.

Are my documents processed securely?

Sensitive documents are, where possible, classified and processed on the device itself, so your data never leaves the device for the AI step. That is what separates a B2B app from a toy.

Is there an example?

Yes. PaperlessIQ is an AI-native document client for iPhone, and DokuAI turns a photo and voice note into structured reports, both built by me.
