#### Your notes, everywhere — connected to Google Drive

**Quire** is a privacy-first academic file organizer that helps students collect, organize, search, and access study materials from anywhere.

Share PDFs, notes, assignments, and documents directly from WhatsApp, Telegram, email, browsers, or any other application into Quire. Everything is automatically organized and synced through your own Google Drive account, giving you access to your files across devices without relying on custom cloud servers.

**Key Features**

* Unified Inbox for files shared from any application
* Smart subject detection and automatic organization
* Hierarchical folder structure with batch file management
* Full-text search across PDFs and documents using Google Drive indexing
* Native cross-device synchronization through Google Drive
* Offline access to cached files and study materials
* Privacy-first architecture with no custom backend servers
* Files remain entirely within your own Google account

**Why Quire?**

Students often receive important notes and study materials across multiple platforms such as WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, email threads, and classroom portals. Quire brings everything together into a single searchable workspace, making it easy to find exactly what you need when you need it.

**Privacy by Design**

Quire does not store your files on its own servers, sell your data, or use third-party analytics. Your documents stay in your Google Drive, and Quire only accesses its dedicated application folder.
