Features

Everything it does, stated exactly.

Each feature below is something the app does today, described in terms you can check.

013

Privacy

What keeps your documents on your phone, and closed.

No internet permission

Android itself refuses the app a network connection, so your documents cannot be sent anywhere.

Reticenda does not hold android.permission.INTERNET. Without it, the operating system does not give the app a network socket — not our code, and not any library inside the app.

You can check this yourself: the app lists the permissions it holds as Android reports them, and so do your phone's settings and the Play Store listing.

An encrypted vault

Everything is encrypted on the phone under a key protected by its secure hardware, with your PIN as a second factor.

Documents, the text read from them, search indexes, notes and settings are stored with AES-GCM. The key is protected by the phone's secure hardware and derived in part from your PIN.

Your PIN is never stored, so nobody — including us — can open the vault without it. Keep your own backups for that reason.

Fingerprint unlock and automatic locking

Unlock with your fingerprint if you choose, and let the vault close itself when the app is left in the background.

Fingerprint unlock is optional. Android checks the fingerprint and tells the app only whether it matched; the app never sees biometric data.

You choose how long the app may sit in the background before the vault closes itself.

Understanding

How it finds answers, and how it tells you when it cannot.

Answers with the exact page

Ask a question across a case and get the passage that answers it, with the document and page it came from.

The search runs entirely on your phone, by the words you use and by their meaning, so it finds passages that say the same thing differently.

Every Finding quotes the document and names its page, one tap from the original. Nothing is written for you: what you read is what the document says.

An honest “not found”

When your documents do not contain the answer, the app tells you so instead of guessing.

It also tells you how many pages could be read, so a scan it could not read never passes for a document that simply said nothing.

An answer that is sometimes confidently wrong is worth less than none. Reticenda is built to say what it did not find.

Chronologies and summaries, cited

Build a chronology or a summary over a whole case from the documents' own words, every line cited to its page.

Each line is a quoted passage, not a paraphrase, so you can follow every entry back to the page it came from.

Use them to see a case at a glance, then read the originals before you rely on them.

Capture and reading

Getting documents in, and reading them as they are.

Scan, import, share in

Scan paper with the built-in scanner, import PDFs and images, or share files in from another app.

The scanner captures a page automatically when it holds steady, keeps a manual shutter always available, and lets you adjust the corners when a page is hard to detect.

PDFs and JPEG, PNG and HEIC images go through the same path. A document that is already in the vault is recognised, so it is not stored twice.

The original, beside its text

Read the original page next to the text taken from it, and search inside any document.

Text is read from digital PDFs directly, and recognised from scans and photographs on the device.

Searching inside a document takes you to the matching place on the page, so you always see the words in their original setting.

042

Organisation

Cases shaped around the way your profession works.

Cases, filed properly

Keep each piece of work in its own case, filed by document type, date, parties and tags, with notes beside it.

Sort a case the way you work, find documents by what they are and who they concern, and archive what is finished without losing it.

Notes live inside the case, encrypted with everything else.

Your profession's vocabulary

Choose legal practice, accounting and audit, case work, personal documents or another profession, and the app uses your words.

A lawyer works on matters, an auditor on engagements, a social worker on client files. The profile sets the vocabulary and the defaults, not what the app can do.

A profile does not mean the app is certified for that profession; your professional obligations stay yours.

053

Proof and handover

Records of what the app did, and safe ways to hand things over.

Seals: proof of what the app did

A Seal is a signed record of which documents were processed, their fingerprints and the state of the app. Free on every plan.

It is signed with a key held in your phone's secure hardware, and anyone you give it to can check it. Making, saving and checking Seals never requires a subscription.

A Seal is a technical record, not a legal conclusion: it does not decide whether a document is authentic, privileged or admissible. The app states those limits beside every Seal.

Redacted exports

Export a document, a chronology or a summary as a PDF, removing recognised categories of information before it leaves.

You choose what to remove before the file is written. Review every page before you share it: redaction may not catch information in images, handwriting or text the app could not read.

An export leaves the vault's encryption and is protected only by where you save or send it. Exports are part of the subscription.

Encrypted backup, free

Back up and restore the whole vault, encrypted with a passphrase you choose. Free on every plan.

You choose where the backup file is kept. Android's cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are switched off for Reticenda, so this backup is the only way your vault moves to a new phone.

If you lose the passphrase, nobody can open the backup, including us.

Everyday use

Languages, devices and themes.

Six languages

English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian — for the interface and for your documents.

Scanning, text recognition and search are built for all six, so the app reads your documents in the language you work in, not only its menus.

Phone and tablet, light and dark

Laid out for phones and tablets, with complete light and dark themes and an adjustable reading size.

On a tablet, lists and documents sit side by side. Reading text is set at a comfortable measure, and its size follows your setting.

Your documents stay yours. Their answers come with the page.

Coming soon to Google Play
