EVERYTHING IMPORTANT, ALWAYS WITH YOU. Altheru is your private family information companion—keeping important documents organized, searchable, remembered, and understandable. Turn a pile of paperwork—photos, PDFs, emails, and folders—into something you can actually manage. Store your documents on your device, get reminded before deadlines, and ask AI questions when you need answers. ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS ANYTHING Your insurance policy is 35 pages. You don’t have to hunt through it. Ask: • “When does my insurance expire?” • “What’s my deductible?” • “What does this warranty cover?” • “When does my passport expire?” • “How much notice do I need to give?” • “Who is covered by this policy?” AI is optional. Your local vault remains yours. FIND WHAT YOU NEED IN SECONDS Search by person, document type, date, issuer, number—or by what you mean. Search “car insurance” and see the policy, the card, and the renewal notice—not just a filename. NEVER MISS AN IMPORTANT DATE Passports. Insurance. Licenses. Warranties. Contracts. Set reminders weeks or months ahead and see what’s due, grouped by urgency. ONE PLACE FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD Use Altheru for yourself, or keep everyone’s paperwork together without mixing it into one folder. Create profiles, browse by person, and organize Identity, Travel, Health, Finance, and Legal documents. YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Private by design. • Stored locally on your device • Encrypted on your device • Not synced to our cloud • Core features work without an email account When you choose optional AI, selected content is processed only to answer that request. We do not store your document vault in our cloud. CONNECT RELATED DOCUMENTS As your collection grows, Altheru can link an old passport to a new one, or a policy to its renewal. Compare them side by side. KEEP YOUR PAPERWORK UNDER CONTROL Organized. Searchable. Remembered. Understandable. Private by design. Altheru is a document organization and reminder tool and does not provide legal, immigration, medical, or financial advice. Always verify official requirements with the issuing authority.
