Free trial — download and try it on your own files

Every document, scan and receipt.
One organized, de-duplicated archive.

DocAttic gathers the documents, scans, PDFs and records scattered across your Downloads, Desktop, old drives and backup exports, removes duplicates, and files each one by year — all on your own computer.

Runs entirely on your computer — nothing is uploaded, ever
Who it's for

Made for anyone with documents in too many places

For families & individuals

Keep every record straight

Tax returns, warranties and receipts, medical letters, the kids' school forms — the paperwork of a life, scanned and saved in a dozen different places. DocAttic gathers it into one archive on your own computer, filed by year and readable without any app or account. No cloud, no subscription.

For people with duplicate files everywhere

Finally kill the copies

The same PDF saved into five folders. A backup export that overlaps last year's backup export. Downloaded statements you kept "just in case," twice. DocAttic keeps one clean copy of each file, removes the rest — and gives you a report proving nothing unique was lost, so you can reclaim the space with confidence.

The process

How it works

1

Point it at everything

Folders, whole drives, Downloads dumps and backup exports — DocAttic scans them all, unpacking archives as it goes. Your originals are opened read-only and never touched.

2

It removes duplicates and files each keeper by year

Duplicates are found by file content — exact, byte-for-byte — so the same document is kept only once no matter how many folders it was copied into or what it was renamed to. Each keeper is then filed by year, so a 2014 contract lands under 2014 even if you copied it last week. Screenshots, statements and scans that differ in any way are always kept separately, so nothing distinct is lost.

3

You get an organized archive you can add to

Clean, dated folders of ordinary files — nothing proprietary — plus a report of exactly what came from where and what was skipped. Find more documents later? Point DocAttic at the same archive again and it adds only what's new. A huge collection is even safe to stop or resume: progress is saved as it goes, and Cancel stops a run any time.

Why it exists

Built by someone who needed it

One document, ten folders.

DocAttic grew out of the same rescue mission as EmailAttic: a lifetime of a family's paperwork — scans, PDFs, receipts, statements and records — scattered across drives, Downloads folders and overlapping backup exports, the same files copied over and over until nobody could tell the keeper from the clutter. Ordinary tools left it in a hundred folders; nothing pulled it into one place you could actually trust.

DocAttic is the tool that fixed it — content de-duplication so identical files are stored once no matter their name or folder, and simple filing by year — rebuilt so anyone can do it in an afternoon.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. DocAttic is a desktop app. Your documents never leave your computer — there's no account, no cloud, and we couldn't see them if we wanted to.

How does it find duplicates?

By file content, not by name. Two files with identical contents are stored once no matter what they're called or which folder they sit in, and anything that differs is always kept separately. A report shows exactly what was kept and what was skipped, so you can reclaim the space with confidence.

Will the archive open in the future?

Yes. DocAttic leaves you ordinary files in ordinary folders — nothing proprietary, no database to break. Your PDFs, documents and scans open in the same programs they always did, with or without DocAttic installed.

Subscription?

No. Pay once, own it — updates to the version you buy are free. If a big new version ever ships, upgrading is optional and discounted for owners, and your copy keeps working either way.
