Snailbox reads every bill, notice, and letter the moment you scan it — surfacing the amount, the due date, and a one-tap reminder. All on your phone. Nothing goes to the cloud.
Three taps from a stack of unopened envelopes to a calm, sorted list of what actually needs you.
Point your camera at a letter — or batch-scan the whole pile. Each page is captured and processed in its own session, in the background.
On-device OCR and Apple Intelligence pull out the sender, amount, due date, account number, and a plain-English summary — with an honest confidence score.
Get a one-tap reminder with lead time and an automatic calendar event. The most urgent thing always sits at the top of your Today screen.
Everything Snailbox does is in service of one feeling: relief. The app holds it so you don't have to keep it in your head.
Robust parsing finds the real amount and deadline — even "due upon receipt" or "net 30" — without needing a clean photo or a dollar sign.
Payments, medical, insurance, tax, government, DMV, banking, legal and more — each with its own color and icon so the pile organizes itself.
"Overdue", "Due tomorrow", "In 5 days" — big, clear urgency pills that beat time blindness instead of burying dates in a list.
Lead-time reminders that reschedule when you edit a date, plus add-to-calendar with no permission pop-ups in your way.
Your next bill is always visible — object permanence for the thing you'd otherwise forget the moment it's out of sight.
Scanning, reading and reminders all happen on your device. Your financial and medical mail never leaves your phone.
Bills, medical notices, legal letters — this is the most sensitive paper you own. Competitors send it to the cloud. Snailbox doesn't. OCR and on-device Apple Intelligence do the reading right on your iPhone, with no account to create.
Need extra muscle on a hard letter? Cloud assist is strictly opt-in and Pro-only — you stay in control of every page.

"I have ADHD and the mail pile genuinely scared me. Cleared three weeks of it in one sitting — confetti and all. Caught a bill I'd have missed."
"I manage my dad's mail from two states away. Now I snap a photo when I visit and Snailbox tracks every due date for me. Total peace of mind."
"What sold me is that none of it touches the cloud. My medical and insurance letters stay on my phone. That's how it should be."
One missed late fee is about $35 — Snailbox pays for itself the first time it catches one.

No. Scanning, OCR and the AI reading all happen on your iPhone using on-device Apple Intelligence. Your mail never leaves your phone. The only exception is the opt-in, Pro-only cloud assist for difficult letters — and even then, only the page you choose is sent.
Bills, statements, insurance and medical notices, tax and government letters, DMV and banking mail, legal documents and more. It pulls out the sender, amount, due date, account/reference number and a plain-English summary — and tells you honestly how confident it is.
The parser is built to be OCR-tolerant — it finds amounts without a dollar sign and reads relative deadlines like "due upon receipt" or "net 30." Anything ambiguous is flagged for a quick review rather than guessed.
On-device AI uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices, but Snailbox always falls back to OCR + rules everywhere, so the core experience works broadly. Pro adds opt-in cloud assist for the toughest letters.
Yes. Batch scan captures each document in its own session and processes them in the background — built for clearing the whole pile in one focused sitting.
