Workspaces, categories and sub-categories

Create a workspace for each part of your life, such as home, work or finance. Inside, sort documents into categories and sub-categories. Every folder shows how many documents it holds, including everything inside it. PDFs, photos, text and Office documents open right in the window.

Search inside your documents

Find a document by what it says, not only by its name. Koda reads the text of PDFs, text files and Word documents, and runs text recognition on scanned PDFs on your device. Matches are highlighted in the preview.

File a whole stack in one pass

Drop files or whole folders onto Koda, then name, date, tag and file them one after the other. Merge several PDFs into one and put the pages in the right order before you import.

AI integrations (Koda Pro, on the Mac)

On the Mac, Koda has a built-in local server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Turn it on and Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, LM Studio and other MCP apps on your Mac can list, search, import, rename, tag and move your documents. Or use Ollama: a model running on your Mac suggests a name, workspace, category and note when you import. Every integration is off until you turn it on.

Scan with the camera

Point your iPhone or iPad at a page and Koda turns it into a clean PDF, with as many pages as the letter has. Name it, date it and file it in the same step. Pictures from your photo library and documents from the Files app are added the same way.

Your library syncs through your own iCloud account. A scan made on your iPhone is on your Mac shortly after, already filed. In the Files app, every document is a normal file.
