Scan a document. Rootstead reads it, files it, and sets the reminder. No folders to build. No forms to fill. Point your camera at a passport, an insurance policy, a will, a property deed — and it's organized. Already have it on your phone? Add it from Photos. Arrived by email? Forward it to your vault. Rootstead files them all the same way. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most document apps are empty folders waiting for you to do the work. That's why they stay empty. Rootstead does the filing, so the first ten minutes produce something useful instead of a chore list. WHAT IT HANDLES • IDs and passports — expiry dates tracked automatically • Insurance policies — carrier, policy number, renewal date • Wills, trusts, and estate paperwork • Property deeds, titles, and vehicle registration • Warranties, receipts, and service records • Medical and school records SEE WHERE EVERY ANSWER CAME FROM As Rootstead reads a document, each field lights up right where it sits on the page — so you can check its work at a glance. Tap any document to zoom in and read the fine print; the highlighted fields stay pinned to the page as you go. ASK INSTEAD OF SEARCH "When does mom's passport expire?" "What's our home insurance deductible?" Ask in plain English and get the answer with the document behind it. ONE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD The IDs, policies, wills, and warranties a family keeps — in one private vault instead of scattered across drawers, inboxes, and three people's phones. The reason to get organized is usually so someone can find things in a hurry: before a trip, at a renewal, when it matters. Rootstead is the household's system of record. IT'S NOT ONLY PAPERWORK Photograph the new water heater and note where the warranty lives and which plumber installed it. Write down how you handled the roof claim, who you'd call again, and what it cost. The things a household knows shouldn't live in one person's head. YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY YOURS Encrypted at rest and in transit. The AI that reads your documents runs under commercial terms that prohibit training on your content — your family's paperwork never becomes training data. Documents are stored in your vault and visible only to your household. Native iPhone app. Free to start.

VedicTime shows the classical Vedic Choghadiya and Hora time segments as a living sky dial - sunrise to sunset, sunset to sunrise - so you can see at a glance what kind of time you're in right now. • Live dial that tracks the current moment, with the active Choghadiya highlighted • Color-coded auspiciousness - best, good, neutral, and avoid - visible without reading a single label • Browse any past or future date, not just today • Save and switch between multiple locations, each with its own accurate sunrise/sunset-based timings • Clean, distraction-free design built around one glance-able view Choghadiya timings are calculated from real sunrise and sunset times for your exact location, not a fixed clock - so they stay accurate wherever you are.
