VmVault is a simple, private way to save the voicemails that matter — the birthday messages, the “just called to say I love you,” the voices you never want to lose. Voicemails don’t last forever on your phone. VmVault gives them a permanent home. HOW IT WORKS • Share a voicemail straight from the Phone app into VmVault. • Add the caller’s name, number, the date, and a note so you remember why it matters. • Play it back anytime, at normal or faster speed. • Search, sort, and organize your whole archive. YOUR MEMORIES, BACKED UP Every voicemail you import is automatically copied to a private VmVault folder in your own iCloud Drive — no setup, no accounts. Your files are named clearly and you can open them anytime in the Files app or on iCloud.com. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No login. No password. No servers. • Everything stays on your device and in your personal iCloud Drive. • We can’t see your voicemails — nobody can but you. • No ads. No tracking. No analytics. SHARE AND EXPORT Send a single voicemail or export several at once via email, Messages, AirDrop, Files, or any app you use. VmVault was built by a family who didn’t want to lose the voices they love. We hope it helps you keep yours.
