Feature requests
Ask for a feature. Get it built.
Put in your email and describe what you need in plain words. Small things often ship the same day; bigger ones take a few days. No account, no sales call, no roadmap board where good ideas go to be voted on forever.
- Text only — never your files
- A human replies
- Hours to days, not quarters

Recently shipped
Seven workspaces went live in recent months, each one starting as a description of a problem. This is the pace the estimates above are based on.
Questions
- How much does it cost to request a feature?
- Nothing. SafePaper is free and every tool built from a request stays free for everyone. There is no paid queue and no way to pay to jump it.
- How fast will my feature actually be built?
- Small changes to an existing tool often ship the same day. A new tool in an existing workspace usually takes a day or two. A new desk, an on-device AI model, or a new engine typically takes three to five days. You get an honest answer in the reply, not a silent backlog.
- What if my idea needs a server or an account?
- SafePaper runs entirely in your browser and never uploads your files, so features that assume a server, a login, or cloud sync need rethinking rather than rejecting. There is usually a local-first way to reach the same outcome — encrypted on-device storage, peer-to-peer transfer, or your own S3/R2 bucket. We'll suggest one in the reply.
- What happens to my email address?
- It is used once, to reply to you about your request. It is not added to a mailing list, not sold, and not passed to an analytics tool. The request itself is plain text — your files are never part of it.
- Can I request an entire new workspace, not just a tool?
- Yes. Password Desk, Email Desk, Photo Desk, Resume Desk, Scan Desk, Diagram Desk and Handwriting Desk all began as a single description of a problem someone had. Whole desks are in scope.
- Can I follow the progress or discuss the idea first?
- Yes — the SafePaper Discord is open and is the fastest place for back-and-forth. Use this form when you want it written down and answered directly.
