What is LifeVault?
LifeVault is a private digital family binder — a family
organization app that keeps medical records, insurance cards,
prescriptions, vaccination records, emergency contacts, pet
records, and caregiver instructions organized for every person and
pet in your household. Snap a document and LifeVault helps
organize the details into searchable records. Share an organized
profile with a doctor, caregiver, school, or pet sitter.
How is LifeVault different from Google Drive, Dropbox, or Apple
Notes?
Cloud storage and note apps are generic containers — you
design every page, decide what fields matter, and stay disciplined
about updates. LifeVault is purpose-built for household
information. It knows the structure of an insurance card, a
vaccination record, a prescription, a power of attorney. It helps
organize the right fields, links each record to the right family
member or pet, reminds you when something expires, and produces a
shareable PDF on demand. A folder of files is not the same as an
organized family binder.
Is my family's data really private?
Yes. Your records and documents live on your device — not on our servers. We
don't have a copy of your family's medical records, insurance
information, or personal documents. We can't access it, and we
can't be compelled to hand it over — because we never have it.
Your personal information only leaves your device when you choose
to share, export, or back up.
Can I use LifeVault to organize medical records for aging parents?
Yes — this is one of the most common uses. LifeVault helps
caregivers organize medication lists, specialist contacts,
insurance information, prescriptions, advance directives, and
emergency contacts for aging parents. This is especially valuable
when a parent begins experiencing cognitive decline or memory loss
— having their information already organized means you're not
gathering it under pressure. Share a medical profile with doctors
or an emergency room when it's needed.
Does LifeVault work as a pet records organizer?
Yes. Each pet gets a full profile with vaccination records,
medications, vet contacts, microchip numbers, feeding schedules,
and a behavior guide. Share everything a pet sitter or boarding
facility needs in a single PDF — no more writing out instructions
by hand before every trip.
Can I share emergency information with caregivers and schools?
Yes. LifeVault generates a clean PDF with the information someone
needs — allergies, medications, emergency contacts, insurance,
accommodations, and caregiver instructions. Send it through any
app on your phone: text, email, AirDrop. Choose which sections to
include so you share only what's relevant.
What if I lose my phone?
When iCloud Backup is enabled, your LifeVault data is designed
to be included. You can also create encrypted LifeVault backups
for additional protection. Your records are
protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode — so even if
someone has your phone, they can't open the app.
Does LifeVault work without internet?
Yes. Everything works offline — including document scanning and
extraction. LifeVault is built for the moments when you need
information fast: an ER visit, a school emergency, handing a
sitter what they need. No signal required.
Can I share with my spouse or co-parent?
One-tap PDF sharing works today — generate a profile summary and
AirDrop it, email it, or text it to your co-parent. Multi-device
household sync is on the roadmap; we want to get it right rather
than ship it fast, since that's where family data starts moving
between phones.
When does Android launch?
Later this year. Right now LifeVault is in public beta on iOS via
TestFlight. We're focused on getting the core family organization
experience right before going cross-platform. If you want to be
notified when Android opens up, drop your email in the form below.
Will LifeVault cost money?
The beta is free. After launch, LifeVault will be a one-time
purchase or a small subscription — we're still finalizing the
model. We will never sell your data, run ads, or gate basic
functionality behind premium tiers. The features you see in the
beta are the features you'll have at launch.
What happens to my data if LifeVault shuts down?
Your data is yours, on your device. If LifeVault were
discontinued, the app would continue working as installed. We
recommend maintaining current encrypted backups and PDF exports
of important records for long-term portability.
