Security measures

Last verified: 2026-08-29

Documentr uses several layers:

  • Self-hosted passwordless authentication (magic link or code in the app; single-use and short-lived)
  • Limits on login and registration attempts
  • HTTPS transport encryption
  • Schema-based tenant isolation in the cloud database (Solo and Cloud)
  • Roles in Cloud organizations — Roles & permissions
  • Audit log of changes in the cloud
  • Automatic backups of the cloud database and uploaded images (Solo and Cloud)
  • Manual on-device backup/restore as .docr.bak (SQLite snapshot + images)
  • Offline license stored on the iPad, bound to the device lock — Offline license
  • Archive PDF with SHA-256 integrity proof after finalization — PDF export

Backups

Solo and Cloud: Documentr backs up the cloud database and uploaded images automatically. That is an operational safeguard — not a restore button in the app.

All product lines: You can also create a manual .docr.bak on the iPad under Settings.

Offline: There is no cloud copy. Regular .docr.bak archives are the only backup.

The local app database currently uses SQLite; additional encryption (e.g. SQLCipher) is planned but not the default yet.
