New phone? Your vault comes back. LifeVault backs itself up: every record encrypted on your phone, saved to your own iCloud. Nothing to set up. Free to download and use.
Stop typing your family's paperwork. LifeVault is a private family organizer that scans your documents and fills in the records for you. The important information for the people, pets, and home you love lives in one place.
FROM FILES TO RECORDS
Most apps store files. LifeVault turns them into organized, searchable records, connected to the people, pets, and home they belong to.
SCAN. IT FILLS ITSELF IN.
Take a photo or add a PDF: a driver's license, passport, insurance card, prescription, or vaccination record. LifeVault reads the key details into a structured record for you to check, then files the original in your Documents Vault, attached to it. Scanning works for 39 record types, and it all happens on your phone.
A PROFILE FOR EVERYONE
Create profiles for people, pets, and your home, each with the records that fit it: medical, insurance, IDs, school, travel, legal, vehicle, and pet care. You get 90+ record types, and you can hide the sections you don't need.
A MEDICAL TIMELINE YOU CAN HAND A DOCTOR
Check "Add to Timeline" on records like medications and procedures. Add hospital stays, falls, or cognitive changes in the History section. Now you can show any doctor what's changed, at a glance.
SEE WHAT'S COMING UP
Expiration dates on passports, licenses, and policies show up in Coming Up before they're due, and LifeVault keeps your history as things change.
IT BACKS ITSELF UP
Every record, document, and profile is encrypted on your phone before it goes anywhere, then saved to your own iCloud as you use the app. Add a record this morning and it is already protected. There is nothing to switch on and no password to remember. It is separate from your iPhone's own iCloud Backup.
NO PHONE RESET REQUIRED
You can get your vault back without a whole-phone restore. You don't wipe a new iPhone or rebuild it from an Apple backup. Install LifeVault, sign in to iCloud, and it finds your vault on its own.
A NEW PHONE, AND YOUR VAULT COMES BACK
Pick a restore point and your people, pets, home, documents, and photos come back the way you left them. Sign in to iCloud on the new iPhone and your restore points are there waiting. LifeVault keeps your recent backups plus a restore point for many of the days you used it, reaching back months, so if you delete something by mistake, you can still go back to how things were before.
PDFS YOU CAN HAND OVER
Share a profile as one clean, styled PDF, choosing which sections to include, or export your whole household in a single document for a doctor, teacher, babysitter, or pet sitter. Support Guides and Behavior Guides for pets also have their own PDF, so you can hand one to a teacher or sitter on its own.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, and no password of yours on anyone's server
• Backups go to your own iCloud, never to our servers
• No ads, cross-app tracking, or data selling
• Stored on your device, locked with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode
• Every backup encrypted (AES-256-GCM), plus your own Backup File to keep
LifeVault is free to download and use. Your records live on your device, and they stay yours.
★★★★★I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time! I love having one place to keep all of the important “need-to-know” information about myself and my parents instead of having everything scattered everywhere.As our parents get older, having their important information organized and accessible is incredibly helpful, especially when they aren’t as comfortable with technology. This is such a great concept for families who are helping care for and manage things for their parents.My biggest wishlist item would be a Bills/Accounts section where we could track bills, due dates, autopay vs. manual payments, account numbers, and other account details. That would make an already-great app even more useful!I’m so glad I found this app—it’s exactly the kind of one-stop resource I’ve been looking for!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! As LifeVault’s solo developer, hearing that you’ve been looking for something like this genuinely means the world to me. I built it after caring for my own parents, and I’m so glad it’s helping you keep your family’s important information together.I also appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about bills and accounts. If you haven’t explored it yet, your Household profile contains most, if not all, of the records you’re looking for. I’d love to know what’s missing or could be easier to find, especially for due dates and autopay. Thank you again for taking the time to share this… it means so much! ❤️
Life just got easier!

Are you kidding me? It’s about time someone made an app like this.This is exactly what I needed. And if you’re reading the reviews trying to decide, there’s a good chance it’s exactly what you need too.Everything important is finally in one place instead of scattered across emails, notes, file folders, and random apps. It’s easy to use, well organized, and gives me peace of mind knowing my family can find what they need if something ever happens.One of those apps you don’t realize you’ve been missing until you have it. Easy five stars.
Needs security update
DD Ming
I love the theme of the app and how it looks but I fear that my secure information isn’t secure because you can’t activate Face ID, password lock and AES doesn’t show a certificate. If these secure features were updated it would be a perfect app. Please update because the information that we put in this app is our life and can ruin our lives if leaked.
Developer Response
Thank you for reporting this. You found a real bug, and your review helped us identify and fix it.We found an issue in the App Lock system that could cause LifeVault to incorrectly determine that device authentication was unavailable. In some circumstances, that meant Face ID and the iPhone passcode fallback were not offered as they should have been. We’ve rebuilt and audited App Lock so Face ID and your device passcode now work together correctly. If LifeVault cannot reliably determine the authentication state, the vault stays locked rather than opening.Most importantly, I want to address your concern about this information being leaked. LifeVault is local-first. LifeVault does not require an account and does not operate servers that store your vault data. Your records, documents, contacts, and other vault data remain on your device unless you choose to back up or share them. The App Lock bug affected access to LifeVault on the device — it did not transmit, upload, or leak your vault data anywhere.I also want to address your AES concern. AES encryption does not use or display a security certificate. Certificates are generally used to authenticate a server or website during a network connection. LifeVault’s own backup files are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before they leave the app.The latest update also adds encrypted Automatic Backups, stored in your own iCloud. LifeVault does not operate servers that store your vault or backups.Settings now clearly shows whether your vault is protected by Face ID or your device passcode.You’re right that the information people trust LifeVault with is their life, and protecting it has to be treated accordingly. THANK YOU for taking the time to flag this. I appreciate you suggesting update as opposed to just deleting app. It's feedback like yours that helps me improve LifeVault! If anything still looks wrong after updating, please email support@lifevaultapp.com. I read those messages myself.Many thanks,RachelLifeVault Developer
