IdVault vs Life Vault

When a school, insurer, agency or office asks for your documents, paste their email into IdVault: the app recognises the documents mentioned, shows which ones you already have, which are missing and which will have expired by the deadline, and helps you send a watermarked copy. All on iPhone, with no account. The app interface is currently in Italian. PRATICHE (DOCUMENT REQUESTS) Tap "Prepara documenti richiesti", enter who the documents are for and by when, then paste the text of the request or pick what you were asked for. The text is read on the phone, never sent anywhere or stored, and when the request leaves a choice ("identity card or passport") you decide: it is a reading aid, not a list of requirements. IdVault suggests the documents you already have, for the right family member, and checks they are valid on that date. For each item you see whether the document is ready, missing or expired on the request's date. If you wish, it reminds you two days before and on the day when something is still missing, without showing names or documents on the lock screen. The app warns you when a linked document belongs to another family member or is a different type from the one requested, and explains why. Every copy stays tied to the document version it was prepared from: if you renew the document, the request asks for a new copy. EXPIRY REMINDERS Choose how far in advance you are alerted. By default, notifications do not show the document name. PROTECTED COPY Choose the fields and images to include, redact parts of photos and add a watermark with recipient, purpose and date. Check the PDF before sharing; the original stays unchanged. With "Invia tutto insieme" (send everything together) you put a request's ready documents into a single PDF: each one is checked and redacted separately, and before sharing you see exactly the file that will be sent. In requests the app records when and to whom you sent the copy, but it cannot know whether the recipient received or opened it. A watermark does not prevent copying or forwarding the file. SCANNING AND FAMILY DOCUMENTS Frame the document, check and correct the recognised details, then save. Text recognition runs on the device. Keep identity cards, passports, driving licences, health cards and other documents, including your family's, together with receipts and warranties. PRIVACY No mandatory account. Your data stays on the device, encrypted with AES-256 and protected by device authentication, until you choose to export or share it. No advertising or analytics SDKs. FREE • Up to 3 documents • Expiry reminders, receipts and family members • Your first complete scan: it only counts once you save the document • Your first protected copy of a document: it only counts once sharing is completed • One request at a time: delete it and the slot is free again PRO • Documents, scans, protected copies and requests without the free plan's limits • Single send: several documents of a request in one PDF • Password-protected encrypted backup, saved to Files or another device, and restore • Temporary sharing via QR code and document renewal Choose a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase, at the prices shown by the App Store. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings. If you already bought Pro you keep your rights: use "Ripristina acquisti" (Restore purchases). Saved documents remain accessible when a subscription ends. The app stores copies of documents and does not replace the originals.

Keep your family's most important records, documents, and instructions ready before they are urgently needed. Life Vault is a private, local-first organizer for family readiness, emergencies, household handovers, and digital legacy planning. Start without an account, keep important information structured, and choose when to back up or share. SEE WHAT IS READY Use the readiness dashboard to spot missing details, upcoming renewals, and records due for review. Vault Insights helps identify possible duplicates, device dependencies, and gaps before they become urgent. ORGANIZE IMPORTANT RECORDS Keep family profiles, emergency contacts, identity records, insurance policies, financial references, medical information, assets, subscriptions, legal and estate references, digital accounts, nominee notes, reminders, documents, and family instructions together. DOCUMENTS THAT STAY CONNECTED Attach supported files to the record they belong to. Search, filter, sort, tag, preview supported formats, and run integrity checks to identify missing or damaged local attachments. PREPARE HANDOVER PACKS Build focused Emergency, Family Handover, Insurance Claim, Household Admin, and Digital Legacy packs. Export supported packs as password-protected PDF or ZIP files when you choose. SHARE ONLY WHAT YOU CHOOSE With an eligible cloud plan, share selected records, one or more packs, or your whole vault with trusted people. Recipients get read-only access, and you can manage or revoke each recipient individually. A recipient can accept and view a share without purchasing a plan. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your local vault is encrypted and can work without an account. Protect access with a PIN and supported biometrics. Screenshot blocking, app-switcher privacy masking, and clipboard auto-clear are user-controlled protections. BACKUP AND RECOVER ON YOUR TERMS Create encrypted local backups or choose Personal Cloud or Family Cloud for encrypted backup, Recovery Key protection, multi-device sync, and secure read-only sharing. Life Vault cannot recover encrypted cloud data without the Recovery Key, so keep it somewhere safe. Life Vault is an organizer, not a medical, legal, tax, insurance, financial, or estate advisory service. Keep independent copies of critical records and verify important information with the appropriate professional.
