Kempt
Why Kempt
Everyone has the same paperwork problem: papers named “document (3).pdf”, a landlord or a consulate asking for a list of documents you know you have somewhere, a form that wants numbers buried in old PDFs. I wanted an app that reads those papers on the Mac, never in someone’s cloud, and has them ready when someone asks. Kempt is that app.
How I check what I write
I test every Kempt release on my own Mac and papers, about 1,600 documents, and publish the results with their date and conditions. Every guide on this site is checked against the app’s code for what Kempt does, and against official sources for the rest: Apple’s support pages, service-public.fr, the BOE, the IRS. Each page shows when it was last checked.
What you won’t find here
Features that don’t exist yet, invented numbers, or advice to upload your papers somewhere. When Kempt can’t do something, the guide says so, and the free way with macOS always comes first.
