Never forget anything again! Your Own Personal Database Now, with Memory Vault, you always have your own personal database with you …permanently available to retrieve information you may have forgotten and want to remember. We’ve all had that frustrating experience of not being able to remember something that we know very well, but just can’t think of it: a friend’s name, a relative’s birthday, a restaurant, a favorite movie, an actor, etc. Now these slippery memories can be retrieved instantly with Memory Vault. How It Works Memory Vault stores the item you want to remember along with keywords and hints that remind you of the item and links them together. Later, although you may not be able to remember the item, when thinking of it, you will recall the keywords or hints related to it. Merely enter the keywords or hints that you do remember. Memory Vault searches your database for a match of the keyword or hint with the forgotten item and displays it. Voila! The name, place or thing you couldn’t remember is found!

Verdict

The call

Memory Vault Plus and Bee both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Memory Vault Plus's written reviews are positive against 61% of Bee's. Memory Vault Plus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Bee's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3K vs 8). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bee has 3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Memory Vault Plus's written reviews are positive against 61% of Bee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memory Vault Plus ships an update every 5 weeks, Bee every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
