Features — SCP Docs

Feature overview

Find a report, then actually get back to it

SCP Docs brings archive entry points, search, reader controls, and personal reading state into one native iOS app. It is designed for the full archive loop: find the next file, save what matters, organize it in Library, and resume without rebuilding your trail.

Current field kit

Find the file. Mark the passage. Build your own archive.

01 / SEARCH

Powerful search, free for everyone

Every search tool is free. Start from one persistent number-or-keyword field, keep results visible while condition chips change, and combine branch, document type, tag, Object Class, text, memo, reading state, score, length, rating, and saved-state filters. Saved searches and new-match alerts are free too.

Search keeps the query and active conditions in one place

Library gathers folders, highlights, memos, ratings, history, and saved state

02 / FOLDERS

Folders that work like files, not a flat bookmark list

Premium folders support nesting, moving, multi-select actions, manual ordering, drag and drop, inline renaming, and list or grid views. Folder structure can sync through your own iCloud Drive.

03 / HIGHLIGHTS

Three-color highlights, ready to revisit

Select a passage in the reader, save it in yellow, blue, or pink, and return to it from the Library. Standard, quick, and manual interaction modes adapt the tool to careful reading, fast capture, or deliberate markup; highlights can sync through iCloud.

Archive & Library workflow

From archive lists to a personal reading shelf

Use Home as the archive map

Pick a branch: SCP Docs supports the English main SCP Foundation archive plus the Japanese, French, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Thai, German, Italian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Czech, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Indonesian branches. Switching branches changes Home, search, in-app lists, article destinations, and the app UI language. SCP International and translated archive entry points are listed where catalog data is available.
Start from directories: Browse SCP reports, Tales, Canons, Canon series, GoI, Joke SCPs, SCP-EX, collections, recent articles, guides, and related lists without needing the exact article number first. Every catalog adds an "Unread only" filter, sort by number or rating, and a "Top rated" lens for each branch's highest-rated articles.
Jump when you know the target: Every search tool is free. Start from one persistent number-or-keyword field, keep results visible while condition chips change, and combine branch, document type, tag, Object Class, text, memo, reading state, score, length, rating, and saved-state filters. Saved searches and new-match alerts are free too.

Turn browsing into Library state

Save the article: Bookmark it, mark it read-later, rate it, or keep a memo so the report is no longer just another page in the archive.
Resume from context: History, continue-reading, read status, ratings, memos, and scroll position help you return to the same file or series after a break. Articles now reopen automatically at your last scroll position, and Read Later items are saved for offline reading automatically.
Organize for longer projects: Premium folders support nesting, moving, multi-select actions, manual ordering, drag and drop, inline renaming, and list or grid views. Folder structure can sync through your own iCloud Drive. Select a passage in the reader, save it in yellow, blue, or pink, and return to it from the Library. Standard, quick, and manual interaction modes adapt the tool to careful reading, fast capture, or deliberate markup; highlights can sync through iCloud.

Practical guide

What to use when

I want to browse without a specific article in mind: Start on Home, choose the branch, then open Archive routes such as SCP, SCP-INT, Stories, or Others. The catalog screen lets you move by series and block, with article rows showing titles, Object Class, tags, scores, and thumbnail previews where available.
I know the number, title, tag, or Object Class: Every search tool is free. Start from one persistent number-or-keyword field, keep results visible while condition chips change, and combine branch, document type, tag, Object Class, text, memo, reading state, score, length, rating, and saved-state filters. Saved searches and new-match alerts are free too.
I found something I want to keep: Premium folders support nesting, moving, multi-select actions, manual ordering, drag and drop, inline renaming, and list or grid views. Folder structure can sync through your own iCloud Drive. Select a passage in the reader, save it in yellow, blue, or pink, and return to it from the Library. Standard, quick, and manual interaction modes adapt the tool to careful reading, fast capture, or deliberate markup; highlights can sync through iCloud.
I stopped halfway through a series: Use Continue reading, Library history, stored scroll position, and read status to return to the same report or track what has already been handled.
