## What is Vaulti?

Vaulti is a private, AI-powered journal and notes app for iPhone, built for fast capture, deep recall, and turning writing into action.

MEET VAULTI
Your on-device journal companion. Vaulti helps you capture work, life, ideas, and follow-ups in one private notebook, with a friendly mascot guide through empty states, saves, and milestones.

CAPTURE ANYTHING
Write entries, record voice notes, and attach photos, videos, audio, PDFs, and files. Drafts autosave while you write, optional mood adds lightweight context, and the share extension sends content from other apps directly into Vaulti.

AI-ASSISTED WRITING AND REVIEW
Vaulti Premium can generate titles, summaries, short summaries, key quotes, and tags for entries. Ask My Journal lets you ask natural-language questions across your notes and jump to cited source entries. Ask with AI works inside an entry too.

TURN NOTES INTO ACTION
Vaulti Premium surfaces Suggested Follow-ups from your writing on Home. Review, schedule due dates, add to todos, or dismiss, so commitments do not get lost in long entries.

ORGANIZE WITHOUT RIGID STRUCTURE
Use notebooks for broad organization and combine #hashtags + @mentions for flexible structure. Vaulti builds people and topic entity pages automatically, with timeline views to follow themes over time.

SEARCH AND CALENDAR
Find information quickly with free hybrid search, keyword plus semantic retrieval. Browse entries by date in Calendar and open the exact note you need.

WEEKLY AND MONTHLY DIGESTS
Premium AI review cards can surface weekly and monthly patterns, including themes and activity trends.

VOICE, MEDIA, AND DOCUMENT INTELLIGENCE
Vaulti Premium unlocks voice capture, attachments, media transcription, PDF text extraction, and image OCR. Existing attachments remain viewable if Premium lapses.

OPTIONAL iCLOUD BACKUP
Vaulti Premium includes optional iCloud Backup with private snapshot uploads, off until you turn it on. Export your data to a portable backup for free anytime. Premium also unlocks import/restore when bringing a backup back into the app.

GUIDED ONBOARDING
New users meet Vaulti through a visual pre-tour: welcome, intent selection, and feature slides with in-app snippets — no demo notebook saved. Complete your first real entry, then optionally try Premium.

PRIVACY FIRST
Vaulti is designed around privacy. AI processing runs on-device where Apple Intelligence is available. There is no Vaulti account, no third-party analytics, and no tracking SDKs.

Vaulti Premium is available for $0.99/week, $2.99/month, or $24.99/year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible users.
