DocVault is a private document vault for iPhone and iPad. Scan, import, organize, preview, rename, search and share your important documents from one calm place. Keep IDs, contracts, bills, invoices, tax papers, insurance, receipts, warranties, health documents, vehicle papers, recipes, travel files and more ready when life asks for them. FREE TO START DocVault lets you start with up to 20 personal documents. Demo documents do not count toward the limit, and your existing documents remain accessible if you reach it. DocVault Pro is available as a one-time in-app purchase and unlocks unlimited documents and advanced tools. No subscription. CAPTURE EVERYTHING Use your camera to scan paper documents, or import PDFs, images and other supported files from iOS. You can also import multiple files at once and send them straight to Inbox for later review. ORGANIZE BY REAL LIFE Save each document with a clear name, category, subcategory, tags, notes, document date and optional expiry date. DocVault includes practical categories such as Identity, Contracts, Bills, Invoices, Government, Taxes, Banking, Insurance, Health, Vehicle, Home, Work, Travel, Receipts, Warranties, Certificates, Legal, Utilities, Recipes, Education and Family. Categories only appear on the main screen when they contain documents, keeping the interface clean and focused. FIND DOCUMENTS FAST Search by document name, category, subcategory, tags or notes. Use document previews to recognize files quickly, rename documents from the preview, and share them with clean filenames. IMPORTANT DATES, UNDER CONTROL Add document dates and expiry or review dates for contracts, IDs, insurance policies, certificates, vehicle papers and more. With DocVault Pro, you can add reminders and optional calendar events so important dates are easier to track.
