TimelineVault

TimelineVault keeps the messy parts of life — passwords, IDs, contracts, and the photos that prove them — in one private, chronological timeline. WHY TIMELINEVAULT Most apps make you choose: a notes app for your thoughts, a photo app for your pictures, and a separate password manager for logins. TimelineVault puts all three on the same timeline, in the order they actually happened — because a lease note, the photo of the signed contract, and the account you set it up with usually belong together. WHAT YOU CAN KEEP • Notes — quick text you don't want to lose • Photo Records — pictures with the context around them, verified against tampering • Important Info — logins, IDs, cards, and memberships, protected with Face ID or your passcode BUILT FOR THINGS THAT EXPIRE Passports, ID cards, membership cards — TimelineVault reminds you before they expire, based on the date you enter (or read off an attached photo). YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Everything is stored only on your device — there is no server, no account, no tracking • Sensitive fields are protected by Face ID / passcode, backed by the Secure Enclave • Attached photos for Important Info are encrypted on-device • Create an encrypted backup file whenever you want, and store it wherever you like PRO — FREE TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE All Pro features are free for now. If you're using the app now, you can keep using them for free even if Pro becomes paid later. • Search text in photos — find receipts and documents by the words in the picture • Scan documents — straightened pages, several at once • Copy to Submit — black out parts of an ID copy and mark who it is for before you send it • My Forms — save the field layouts you reuse, like insurance or vehicle details • Countdowns that repeat every year or month, and expiry dates in the widget • Color themes and app icons SIMPLE, HONEST DESIGN No dashboards, no subscriptions, no ads. Just your notes, your photos, and your passwords — kept the way you'd actually want them: together, in order, and private.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimelineVault at none against Layered's 3. TimelineVault also leads on ads (none vs shown). Layered's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
