Travel Document Vault: encrypted travel documents for your whole family, offline and pay-once. Keep passports, visas, licences safe on your phone. Not on servers, not in the cloud. Lose your phone at the gate? Your documents stay locked. Only you can unlock them, and we never receive them, so we cannot access them. Your documents stay encrypted with AES-256-GCM and accessible only to you. Scan five passports in 90 seconds. Check everyone's status. You're in control. EVERY DOCUMENT. ENCRYPTED LOCALLY. YOURS ALONE. Add passports, visas, national IDs, driving licences, insurance certificates, vaccination records, boarding passes, hotel confirmations, gift cards, and entry tickets. Scan from camera, photo library, or files; let the app suggest details or type them yourself. Every document stored encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM, the same cipher banks and governments use. If your phone is lost or stolen, everything stays sealed, unreadable to anyone but you. REAL-TIME FAMILY STATUS AT A GLANCE Each family member gets their own secure profile. One screen shows everyone's documents and expiry status instantly. Green means valid. Amber means renewal due. Red means urgent. No spreadsheets. No forwarded emails. Catch renewal deadlines weeks ahead, not at the gate. ORGANISE YOUR WAY Colour-code by document type: blue for passports, gold for visas, and green for tickets. Add handwritten notes. Attach supporting photos. Search by name, type, person, or expiry date. Filter to show only what matters now. PLAN TRIPS WITH CONFIDENCE Create a trip, add travelling family members, attach their documents. Instantly see who is cleared and who needs action first. Log flights, hotels, activities, and reminders. Export a polished PDF with cover page, passports, itinerary, activities, and documents, all in order. Days spent abroad count automatically toward country-specific allowances for holidays, business, or visa management. TRACK ALLOWANCES, STAY WITHIN LIMITS Visa and entry rules vary by country. Set the rules your family needs, and the app counts days automatically. See days remaining in each country across every trip, so you know exactly where you stand. PRIVATE REMINDERS, OFFLINE ALWAYS Notifications fire on your device: 8 months, 6 months, 3 months, 6 weeks, 1 month, 2 weeks, or 1 week before expiry. Reminders stay local. No remote servers. No notification logs. Your data stays yours. HOLD YOUR RECOVERY CODE, NOT US An optional backup encrypts with a recovery code only you know. Stored in your own iCloud, never with us. Upgrade to a new iPhone or iPad and restore your vault instantly. You hold the code. We cannot access your backup without it. Even we cannot decode it. A Security Health dashboard scores your setup. EXPORT AND PROTECTED VIEWING Export all documents into a single PDF for travel or safekeeping. Show one document at a border? Protected viewing displays it full-screen, blocks screenshots and screen recording, and hides content in the app switcher. TAP TO COPY, NO RETYPING Tap any passport number, expiry date, or scanned name and copy it straight to a form. No squinting. No manual entry. BUILT FOR OVER 40 LANGUAGES Install anywhere in the world. Interface, alerts, and document fields translate automatically. OFFLINE BY DEFAULT. NO ACCOUNTS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Works fully offline everywhere: airport gates, foreign roads, embassies, and your home. No internet required to access, view, search, or receive reminders. No account to sign up for. No subscription ever. PAY ONCE. YOURS FOREVER. Free to start. Scan your family's passports in 90 seconds. Restore from iCloud with your recovery code. Once purchased, the app is yours forever. No renewal. No creeping fees. Full control. Digital copies do not replace physical documents. Carry originals and check entry requirements with official government sources.
