Why this template exists
People put off scanning their documents because they don't know where to start. The pile is intimidating. So they scan nothing — and the day they need a marriage certificate or a passport scan at midnight, they're hunting.
This checklist removes the "where do I start" problem. Thirty documents, ranked. Begin with tier 1, finish whenever. You'll have done the hardest part: knowing what matters.
When you're ready to keep them organised on your iPhone — privately, on-device, no cloud — that's where filedup comes in.
