We accumulate a lot of PDFs. Receipts, academic preprints, or maybe an article we found that we want to read later. Organizing your PDFs is tedious work and you almost never find the documents you saved for later. - Relies on Apple Intelligence (on-device) to auto-organize your files based on their content. - Syncs your PDFs between Mac, iPad, and iPhone - Suggest new filenames - Safari extension that lets you import on the go. Perfect for students, academics or anyone with lots of PDFs.
While I was waiting at the dentist office, I found an interesting paper on Operating Systems, I saved the PDF file to the "Files" app and was never able to find it again... I thought to myself, there must be a better way to keep track of my PDFs, so I created Elephant Folio.
This is a nice idea. PDFs just pile up and become impossible to manage after a while. Auto-organising based on content makes a lot of sense if it’s accurate enough. How well does it handle messy or mixed documents? That feels like where things could get tricky.

Who hunted Elephant Folio?
Elephant Folio was hunted by Jamal Kharrat. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
