Keep or Shred, the Mail Verdict
A planned phone app that photographs mail, extracts its deadlines and actions, and tells you whether to keep or shred the paper.
Field notes
The proposed workflow combines document capture, extracted actions, deadline reminders, and retention guidance in a phone-based catalog. The example turns a $142.18 utility statement into a payment task and marks a bank statement for seven years, while the privacy section says document pages are sent once for reading and then discarded. A five-page statement remains one cataloged piece, and the site says users can export the catalog as a zip.
