Read full description

MySafe Pro is the private, zero-knowledge vault for everything that matters your IDs, passports, contracts, insurance papers, vehicle documents, jewelry, property files, warranties and more. Everything is encrypted with AES-256 directly on your device. No cloud upload. No server access. Not even we can see your data. — WHY MYSAFE PRO — Most "secure" apps still store your files on someone else's server. MySafe Pro doesn't. Your documents live exclusively in an encrypted database on your iPhone. The key never leaves your device. That's real Zero-Knowledge. — KEY FEATURES — • 12 SMART CATEGORIES IDs & Identity, Insurance, Contracts, Vehicles, Property & Home, Finance & Banking, Health & Medical, Jewelry & Valuables, Family Documents, Career, Digital Accounts & Passwords, Other. Each category includes a checklist so you never forget a critical document. • AES-256 ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION Bank-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM). Your key is derived from your master password via PBKDF2 (10,000 iterations) and stays on your device. If you forget your password, not even we can recover it – that's the price of true privacy. • FACE ID & TOUCH ID Unlock the app biometrically. Optional 6-digit PIN fallback, optional TOTP 2FA, and auto-lock after inactivity (1–60 min). • AI DOCUMENT AUTOFILL Snap a photo or import a PDF and the built-in AI extracts expiry dates, insurance numbers, contract numbers, license plates and more – you just confirm. Manual entry always available. • EXPIRY REMINDERS Never miss a renewal again. Smart push and email reminders at 90 / 60 / 30 / 7 / 1 days before any document expires. Fully configurable. • PDF & ZIP EXPORT Generate a polished PDF dossier or encrypted ZIP of your entire vault – perfect for emergencies, lawyers, family or safe-deposit boxes. Optional password-protected exports. • WORKS OFFLINE View, edit and export your vault anywhere – in the air, abroad, off-grid. Internet is only needed for login, AI scanning and email reminders. • 6 LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish. • PRIVACY SCREEN, AUDIT LOG & VERSIONING Hidden in the app switcher (FLAG_SECURE-style blur), local encrypted audit trail, and automatic version history (up to 10 versions per entry). — PRICING — • "IDs & Identity" category is FREE forever • MySafe Pro Full: $5.99 / month or $59.99 / year (2 months free) • Cancel anytime in the App Store — BUILT IN GERMANY — Developed and operated by Blackventure GmbH, Germany.
