Maker
📌
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Raufan, the solo maker of arsip.
This came straight out of my own frustration living abroad. Every time an office asked for "the latest copy" of something — my residence card, a tax certificate, a bank statement for a visa application — I'd dig through Finder folders, old emails, and screenshots, never sure which version was current. And I'd usually find out a document had expired at the worst possible moment.
So I built arsip. It started as just a tidy place to file scans, but the thing that made it click was treating each document as reusable: a file lives once in your library, and every process that needs it — a visa application, a tax filing, an apartment contract — just references it. Update it once and it's current everywhere. arsip also tracks expiry dates, so you're warned before something lapses.
It's Mac-native and completely local — no account, no cloud, your documents never leave your machine. That part was non-negotiable for me; this is your most sensitive paperwork. Free to start, with a one-time Pro upgrade and no subscription, ever.
It's still early and I'm building it in the open — I'd genuinely love your feedback on what would make this more useful for your own paperwork. 🙏

How does arsip actually pull in docs from other apps or is it strictly manual drag and drop? And is there any limit on the local storage it uses?
Report
Documents stay on my Mac and I can reuse the same file across different processes without re-uploading anything, which is exactly what I needed. The local-first approach feels like such a relief after bouncing between cloud tools.
Report
How does this handle syncing across multiple Macs if everything is stored locally, or is it strictly single-device for now?
Report
Finally tried arsip and the local-only storage on Mac is such a relief, plus linking a document across different workflows actually saves me from digging through folders.

The local-only storage approach is a really thoughtful choice these days, especially for something handling sensitive documents. Nice work making that feel seamless rather than restrictive.
