Field notes
Shoebox presents a local archive built from ordinary folders and Markdown notes rather than a proprietary document silo. Its example workspace separates correspondence, finance, health, and unsorted material, while an insurance question points to a renewal notice and January statement as supporting documents. Downloads are offered for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The extract does not establish whether the application is free or whether any cloud service participates in processing.
