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.

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.

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.

With DocVault Pro, you can add reminders and optional calendar events so important dates are easier to track.
