Otto files documents in your own working folder, keeps a version before every change, and only ever deletes into a thirty-day trash can. A standing order is one sentence that becomes a card in the jobs list — triggered by a schedule or an event.

Docs overviewFiles & standing orders
Your files, never without a version
Otto works on the real files in your working folder — no second copy, no cloud. Alongside that, it keeps the list of what runs permanently in the background: standing orders with their own schedule or trigger.
What this area can do
- Read
- Text, PDF (including scans), Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB — images are looked at, not just named.
- Write
- Creates or replaces the content, and always keeps a version of the old state first.
- Delete
- Into a trash can, recoverable for thirty days — never immediately final.
- Standing orders
- One sentence becomes a recurring card in the jobs list, triggered by a schedule or an event.
