MEET VALORY Valory helps special needs families navigate financial wellness, benefits, and everyday life with more clarity and less stress. When life feels like too much paperwork, too many decisions, and too many moving parts, Valory helps you slow things down, understand what matters, and figure out the next step. Just hold the mic and talk. Valory listens, replies in plain language, and helps with letters, forms, benefits, reminders, routines, budgets, contacts, and community support. UNDERSTAND PAPERWORK Take a photo of a letter, bill, notice, paystub, or form. Valory explains it in plain English so you can quickly understand deadlines, amounts, names, and what needs attention. TALK THINGS THROUGH Ask about benefits, daily planning, routines, or what to do next. Valory helps you think clearly when life feels scattered or overwhelming. VOICE-FIRST BY DESIGN Speak naturally and get support through conversation. Valory is built for families who need help in real life, not another system to learn. REMINDERS, CONTACTS, AND EVERYDAY SUPPORT Keep track of the people and tasks that matter. Ask Valory to remember appointments, follow-ups, and the people in your support network, like doctors, therapists, case workers, teachers, and family members. COMMUNITY FREE FINDS Browse free local items shared by neighbors and pass along things your family no longer needs. A simple way to give and receive practical help close to home. BUILT FOR CLARITY Voice-first. Plain-language. Help that feels calmer and simpler when you already have a lot on your mind. PRIVACY Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Time Capsule Pro requires a separate in-app purchase to access the vault and capsule features described below. Downloading the app and completing onboarding are free. Purchase options and prices are shown in the app before payment. Time Capsule lets you lock your most meaningful photos, videos, voice memos, notes, and files inside an encrypted capsule — then open them on a date you choose. Pick an unlock date. Add what matters. Press and hold to seal it. When the time comes, your capsule unlocks and everything is waiting for you, exactly as you left it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name your capsule and choose an unlock date — one month, one year, or decades from now. 2. Add photos, videos, voice memos, written notes, or files. 3. Hold to lock. Your capsule is sealed until the date arrives. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your memories stay on your device. Optional accounts do not upload or synchronize your vault. Usage analytics and session recordings with masking configured help improve the app; you can turn analytics off in Profile. Analytics use a random installation identifier and technical device information. Advertising attribution SDKs are not included in this version. See the Privacy Policy for account and analytics processing.

It is a private vault that keeps your memories sealed until you are ready to revisit them. NOTE: Time Capsule does not provide legal, financial, or mental health advice. Always back up important capsules by exporting encrypted .ltc files. Questions or ideas? Email austinhfrankel@gmail.com - we read everything.
