## What is CardVault?

CardVault is a fully offline vault for photos of your cards, IDs and documents. It keeps your most sensitive photos locked on your device — no internet, no upload, no sign-up, no data collection.

Why CardVault:

• 100% on-device
Everything is stored locally. There is no server and no account — your data never leaves your phone.

• Biometric lock
Open the vault with Face ID or your fingerprint. Nothing is visible until you unlock.

• Built-in document scanner
Automatic edge detection crops and straightens your cards and documents into clean, readable photos.

• Flexible organization
Bank cards, IDs, documents and more. Switch between Stack, List and Grid layouts to suit how you think.

• Encrypted backup
Export a password-protected backup and keep it wherever you like — on device, in iCloud Drive, or any other provider. The file is encrypted before it ever leaves the app, and the password is never stored.

• Dark mode
Light, dark, or follow your system setting.

Pricing: CardVault is free for up to 5 items. A single one-time purchase removes the limit — no subscription, no ads, no tracking.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-10

• Reorder your cards: in List view (All), tap ⇅ and drag the handles. Stack, list and grid all follow your order.
• Backups now keep that order, and restoring merges into what's already on your phone without disturbing it.
• New languages: 简体中文, 日本語, Français and 한국어. CardVault follows your system language, or pick one in Settings.
• Swipe in from the left edge to go back on the detail and settings pages.
• Bug fix: PDF export for cards no longer crops the photos — each card is laid out exactly as on the detail page, front over back, same size.
• Refreshed app icon and launch screen.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-09

• Export any item to PDF — cards are laid out front over back on one page, documents get one page per photo. Share, print, or save to Files.
• Delete has moved into the edit page to avoid accidental taps.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-03
