Your important documents. One organised life. VayMind brings the records that matter into a private, AI-powered vault. Scan a bill, save a policy or keep a letter close to its evidence. Vi helps you understand what you have, find it again and see what needs your attention. A VAULT THAT MAKES SENSE Start with clear folders for identity, vehicles, property, finance, family and more. Keep repeat documents organised by provider. Connect records to a property or business without making another copy. Review and correct Vi's suggestions whenever needed. SCAN, SAVE, KEEP MOVING Use your camera or import photos and PDFs. Add up to five documents together and follow their progress while using the app. Vi can extract titles, document types, dates, amounts and relevant references. Your saved original stays available for checking. MEET VI, YOUR VAULT COMPANION Ask questions about your saved records in plain language. Find a document, review an upcoming date or get help understanding a bill. Source-linked answers take you back to the evidence, keeping you in control. UNDERSTAND YOUR BILLS Compare saved invoice amounts with the same period six months earlier, keeping currencies separate and missing history clear. Pro+ includes one completed public-market research review per allowance month for supported UK/Australian energy and vehicle-insurance markets. Official sources help you explore options; results are not personal quotations or guaranteed savings. LETTERS WITH THE FACTS IN PLACE Turn selected documents into a draft letter. Review the recipient, reference, country and key facts; describe the outcome you want; then edit the draft and save a PDF. Keep the letter, evidence and related correspondence together in a case. Nothing is sent automatically. SEE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION Keep track of saved due dates, expiries and renewals. Open reminders and insights directly to the relevant record. Organise warranties, subscriptions, vehicle paperwork and property documents without losing the originals. BUILT FOR YOUR LIFE, WHEREVER IT TAKES YOU Choose your country and update it later. Keep document-country context separate from your profile, with local currencies and guidance where available. Use the interface in English or Arabic, including right-to-left layouts, and choose a supported language for your letter. PRIVATE, WITH CLEAR CHOICES Documents are stored in the app's private on-device vault, protected by your PIN and optional biometrics. On supported Apple devices, iCloud backup encrypts the vault before upload. AI features send relevant content securely to our processing service and AI provider; AI processing is not entirely on-device. CHOOSE THE PLAN THAT FITS Start with Free, or choose Pro or Pro+ for larger allowances and additional features. View current prices, included features and limits in the app before subscribing. Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple account. AI can make mistakes. Check extracted details and drafts against the originals. VayMind is an organiser, not legal, financial or insurance advice. Features and official data vary by country; online features need an internet connection. VayMind does not guarantee savings or automatically send letters, pay bills or cancel contracts.
