The name

evraka/evˈɾa.ka/

Evrak is Turkish for documents and paperwork, from the Arabic for leaves of paper. Eureka is Greek for "I have found it". Evraka is the moment you finally find the file you knew was somewhere on your phone.

Why it exists

Everyone has a phone full of files they cannot find again. You remember what a file says, not what it is called, and file names only go so far. Evraka looks where the answer is: inside the file, on your phone, without sending anything anywhere.

What Evraka does

Type a word, find the file

Type a word you remember and Evraka finds the PDF, Word file, sheet, slide or note that holds it, and shows you the line it is on. Open the file and it jumps to the match. Case and accents don't matter: "odeme" finds "Ödeme", and "invoice" finds "invoices" too.

Words in photos and screenshots

Evraka reads the text in your photos, screenshots and scanned pages, so a receipt or a photo of a whiteboard turns up when you search for a word on it. Text recognition runs on your phone.

Photos by what they show

Search "cat", "beach" or "receipt" and Evraka finds the photos that show one, even when there is no text in them. Each picture is recognised on the device; nothing is uploaded.

Search what's said

Turn on speech search and Evraka writes down what is said in your videos and voice recordings, so a word you remember finds the recording and plays it from that moment. It stays off until you turn it on, and the listening happens on your phone. iPhone needs iOS 26 or later.

Add a place once

On iPhone, add iCloud Drive, Downloads, On My iPhone or any folder once, and Evraka keeps up with it: new, changed and deleted files are picked up every time you come back. On Android, allow access to your files once and Evraka searches internal storage and SD cards.

Offline, and it only reads

Search works without an internet connection, and your files, photos and recordings never leave your phone. Evraka never changes, moves or deletes a file: you can open it, share it or open it in another app.

The identity behind Evraka

Nothing in Evraka’s look is decoration. Here is what the icon, each colour and each typeface stands for.

Icon

Evraka app icon, large

A magnifying lens whose top-right edge lifts and rolls over like the edge of a papyrus scroll. The lens is the sheet of paper, so search and documents are one shape, not two objects side by side. Every end is round, in a matte gradient from papyrus gold to ochre on warm charcoal.

Colours

  • Papyrus#F4ECD8

    The page every screen sits on. Evraka is about documents, so the app is warm paper, not a white panel.

  • Sepia ink#2E2418

    Text is brown ink rather than black, which keeps long lines of matched text calm to read.

  • Ochre#8A5A26

    Buttons and the wordmark: the ink of old paperwork.

  • Highlighter#F2D58A

    The mark on every match, like a pen run over the line you were looking for.

  • Lamplight#D9AE6C

    The same ochre lifted for the dark theme, close to the gold of the icon's lens.

  • Night paper#17130E

    The dark theme is the same reading room after sunset: brown-black, never pure black.

Type

  • Find the line you remember.Noticia TextNames, titles and the text you read, bundled in the app; controls use the phone's own sans

    A serif drawn for reading on screens. It makes Evraka feel like a reading room rather than a file browser.

Questions about Evraka

What can Evraka search?

The text inside PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, plain text, Markdown, HTML, JSON, XML, subtitle and code files, the text in JPG, PNG, HEIC and WEBP images, and what those photos show. With speech search on, also what is said in videos and voice recordings. Every other file, including old .doc and .xls files, is found by its name.

Does Evraka upload my files?

No. Reading files, recognising text and objects in photos and writing down speech all happen on your phone. Evraka never sends your files, file names, searches or recordings anywhere.

Can Evraka change or delete my files?

No. Evraka only reads. You can open a file, share it or open it in another app, but Evraka never changes, moves or deletes anything.

Which files can Evraka see on iPhone?

iPhone apps only see the folders you give them. Add iCloud Drive, Downloads, On My iPhone or any other folder once and Evraka keeps it up to date. Anything you put in Files > On My iPhone > Evraka is always searched. iCloud files that are not on your phone yet are found by their name; Evraka never downloads them by itself.

Why does Evraka ask for access to all files on Android?

To search your whole phone, Evraka needs Android's All files access. It uses it only to read internal storage and SD cards. Hidden folders and other apps' private folders are skipped.

How does speech search work?

It is off until you turn it on in Settings. On iPhone with iOS 26 or later, Evraka uses Apple's on-device speech models; the system may download a language model once. On Android, Evraka downloads an open speech model once (about 190 MB, over Wi-Fi) on phones with enough memory. On both, it can also detect the language of each recording by itself (on iPhone this uses the same open model, and Apple's model writes down the languages it knows). Languages: Turkish, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean and Vietnamese, where the phone supports them. The audio never leaves your phone. Turn it off and Evraka forgets everything it wrote down and deletes the model.

Will Evraka slow down my phone or drain the battery?

Documents are quick. Photos and recordings are heavier, so Evraka slows down when the phone gets warm, waits when it is hot, in Low Power Mode or when the battery is low, and does recordings last, after your documents and photos. What is left can carry on overnight while your phone charges.

Does Evraka work offline?

Yes. Searching needs no connection. The only downloads are the speech models, and only if you turn on speech search.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no sign-in and nothing synced to a server.

What data does Evraka collect?

Only anonymous crash reports and usage stats, through Firebase, and you can turn them off in Settings > Share usage data. Never your files, file names, folders or what you search for.
