Everything your family keeps, in one private app

Papers, passwords, dates and money for everyone in the family. All of it is locked on your phone or computer before it is saved.

Start free trial

Every app, one at a time

Pick an app to see it. The screens come from the real app, filled in with a made-up sample family.

The Dashboard app in Vault For Us, screenshotted from the demo family.

Dashboard. The first screen you see: what is overdue, what is coming up, and a card for each app you use.

What each app does

Some apps come with every plan and some only with the larger ones. Each app below says which.

Papers and passwords

The things you would hate to lose, locked on your device before they are saved.

Documents

Every plan

Every paper the family keeps, filed under the person it belongs to.

Take a photo with your phone camera, or upload pictures and PDFs.
The app reads the text on a scan and fills in numbers and dates for you to check. The reading happens on your own device.
Sections for ID, medical, money, insurance, vehicles, education, property, work, warranties, and wills and legal papers. You can add your own document types and extra fields.
Expiry and renewal dates turn into reminders, so a passport or policy doesn't run out unnoticed.
Add nominees, people to contact and a note for your family to any document.
Choose who can open each one.
Email a copy to family, or send a private link to someone outside the family.
Deleted documents wait in a bin for 30 days before they go for good.
Keep new files in your family's own Google Drive if you like. They are still locked before they leave your device.

Passwords

Every plan

Bank logins, website passwords, cards and ID numbers, behind a second lock.

Opens only after a fresh fingerprint, face or phone PIN, and locks again after 90 seconds of not being used.
Save website logins, bank accounts with their helpline number, cards, ID details and private notes. Add your own fields and mark the secret ones.
Each password is yours alone until you share it with chosen people, to view or to edit.
A password maker, and a health check that finds weak and reused passwords.
Check a password against lists of leaked passwords. The password itself never leaves your device.
Earlier versions of each entry are kept, and deleted entries wait in a bin.
Bring your passwords over from a CSV file, 1Password or Bitwarden. The file is read on your device and never uploaded.
A copied password is wiped from the clipboard after a short time.
Unlimited on every plan. It does not fill in passwords on other websites for you.

Notes

Every plan

Notes, lists and checklists for the family, or just for you.

Headings, lists, links and pictures in any note.
Turn a note into a checklist and tick things off.
Pin the notes you use most and give others a colour.
Keep a note private, or share it with chosen people to read or to edit.
Attach files, set a reminder on a note, or email it to family.

Dates and reminders

What is coming up for everyone, and who needs to hear about it.

Dashboard

Every plan

The first screen you see. It shows what needs you today.

Today's list: what is overdue, due today and coming soon, from every app.
Everyone in the family at the top, one tap from their details.
Add cards for the apps you use most. Each device keeps its own choice.
On this day: what the family was doing on today's date in past years.
Your plan and how much storage is left.

Calendar

Every plan

One calendar for everyone's plans.

Month, week, day and list views.
Events that repeat every day, week, two weeks, month or year.
Birthdays appear by themselves once you add them to each person.
Make an event visible to the whole family or keep it private, and choose who else can see your private plans.
Invite family members to an event. They answer Going, Maybe or Can't in the app.
Mark a big day to see a countdown to it.
Email an event as a calendar invite, print a month, or download events for another calendar app.
On Diamond, two-way sync with your own Apple or Google calendar. You pick which family events go there, and only their titles, times and repeats are sent to Apple or Google, never notes or places.

Reminders

Every plan

Reminders that reach the people who need them.

Pick who gets each reminder and how: a notification on their phone or computer, an email, a WhatsApp message, or all of them.
Just once, every month or every year.
Snooze one until tomorrow or next week.
Overdue, today and coming up, in one list.
Other apps add their own: document expiry dates, renewals, vaccinations, birthdays and bills to settle.
Reminder wording is not locked like the rest of the app, because it goes out by email and message. Keep it general.

Subscriptions

Every plan

Every regular payment in one list.

Add anything that renews: streaming, phone plans, insurance, memberships.
See what they cost each month and each year.
A reminder before each one renews.
Pause one without deleting it.

Money

Scan a receipt to fill in the items. The photo is read on your phone and never uploaded.
Groups for a trip or an event, or for ongoing costs like rent, with bills that repeat.
See who owes whom, with the fewest payments needed to settle everyone.
Record a payment, and send someone a nudge to settle up.
Share a group with friends from another family. They join with their own Vault For Us account, and you both check a safety code.

For the people and the pets you look after.

Emergency Info

Every plan

One card per person, for when something goes wrong.

Blood group, allergies, conditions, medicines, doctors, insurance and who to call, in order.
The home address and how to get in, languages, mobility needs and what to do first.
Everyone in the family can open every card. It is never hidden from anyone in the family.
Each card shows when it was last checked, so old details stand out.

If something happens to you

So the people you leave behind are not left guessing.

Legacy

Every plan

What your family needs to know, written down in one place.

A handbook with first steps, where things are, funeral wishes, people to call, a letter and a checklist.
It lists your documents by type and points out money and insurance records with no nominee.
Print it and keep it with your Recovery Kit.
Name one legacy person who can open your private documents and notes after you're gone. They have to ask first, you're told straight away, and nothing opens for 30 days, so you can say no.
Name emergency contacts who can read your private documents and notes if you can't, after a wait you choose between 3 and 30 days. Your passwords stay private.

What works the same in every app

These come with every plan.

Each person sees what you decide

Add anyone with just a first name. Children and grandparents can be part of the family without a login of their own.
Send an invite link when someone is ready for their own login.
For each person, set every app to Hidden, View or Full.
Pause someone's access or sign them out everywhere. Nothing is deleted.
Keep birthdays, clothing sizes and a photo for each person.
Everyone you add counts towards your plan's member limit.

Private or shared, one record at a time

Notes, documents, expenses, shared bills and passwords can each be private or shared.
Share one with chosen people, to view or to edit. Only the person who made it decides.
A private record stays private, even from primary members, unless you name someone as an emergency contact or legacy person.
Choose whether new things start private or shared.
When someone gives you a task, shares a document with you or adds you to an event, you get a notice.

Signing in without passwords

Sign in with your fingerprint, face or phone PIN. There is no password to remember and no code sent by email or text.
A new phone or computer joins only after one you already use approves it, by matching a number on both screens.
Lost a phone? Remove it from any other device and it stops working straight away.
If every device is lost, your paper Recovery Kit gets you back in after a 48-hour safety wait, or sooner if someone in the family approves.
Primary members can see an activity log of sign-ins, new devices and permission changes.

Notices on your terms

Everything shows up in the app. A copy can also go to your phone, your email or WhatsApp.
Turn each one on or off for every app and every kind of news.
Quiet hours hold messages until they end. Security alerts always come straight through.
Messages say that something happened, never what your records say.
WhatsApp stays off until you add your number and confirm it with a code.

On every phone and computer

Works in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
An Android app is on Google Play. On iPhone and iPad, open it in Safari and add it to your home screen.
Put the whole app, or single apps like Passwords or Calendar, on your home screen as their own icons.
