ClanIt
Read full descriptionHide full description
ClanIt is a zero-knowledge vault for the information that matters to your family. Everything you store is encrypted on your device before it leaves. ClanIt stores only encrypted data it has no ability to read. That is an architectural property, not a policy promise. KEEP EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Store the documents, notes, and details your family actually needs: passports, certificates, policies, records, and the small facts that are impossible to find when it matters. SHARE WITHIN YOUR CLAN Connect with the people you trust. What you choose to share is visible only to your clan, end to end encrypted, and never readable by anyone else, including ClanIt. NEVER MISS AN EXPIRY Passports, licences, policies and renewals carry their dates, and ClanIt reminds you ahead of time, on your device. Keep an In Case of Emergency card for each family member, ready when it matters. CONNECT IN PERSON Keep a permanent connect pass in Apple Wallet and connect with family face to face using a QR code that carries a link that resolves to your display name. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No email address. No tracking. No analytics. No advertising. Sign in with Apple gives ClanIt an opaque identifier, never your email or password. ClanIt never holds your stored content in readable form. The service holds only the account and operational information needed to provide ClanIt. YOURS TO TAKE OR ERASE Export your data in readable form whenever you want, produced on your device. Request deletion of your account at any time. After the reinstatement period, your account and everything you own in ClanIt are permanently removed. SUBSCRIPTIONS ClanIt offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions, Clan Plus and Clan Max, which unlock additional capacity and in-app support. Prices are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ClanIt at Free against EML Viewer's $1.99. ClanIt also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). EML Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
