Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Rachel, the solo founder behind LifeVault. I didn’t build this because I spotted a market opportunity. I built it because I spent years caring for my father with Alzheimer’s, then later my mother, and discovered how overwhelming it is to manage someone’s life when every important detail lives somewhere different. Medical records. Insurance cards. Medications. IDs. Pet records. Home documents. Emergency contacts. Everything is easy to ignore—until the moment you need it. So I built the app I wish I’d had. LifeVault lets you create profiles for the people, pets, and households you care about, scan documents into structured records, keep everything connected in one place, track important events over time, and generate clean summaries you can share with caregivers, teachers, doctors, pet sitters, or family members. A few things that make it different: • No account required • No cloud required • Data stays on your device • Face ID protection and encrypted backup • Built from real caregiving experience—not assumptions LifeVault is free during launch as I continue growing and improving the app. Your data will never be held hostage behind a subscription. I’d genuinely love to hear what you think—whether it’s praise, criticism, feature ideas, or things that don’t make sense. Every comment helps make LifeVault better. If you know someone caring for aging parents, raising children, managing pets, organizing a household, or simply trying to keep life’s important information in one place, I’d be incredibly grateful if you shared LifeVault with them. Thanks for checking it out! 💛

The no-account, device-only approach is refreshing, and being able to share a one-page summary with my kid's teacher saved me a long email. The document scanning was fast but occasionally misread handwriting on older IDs.

 Hi there! Yes, I actually created the one-page Support Guide because of my own experience raising a son with bipolar disorder. I wanted to give parents an easy way to share the most important information—stressors, triggers, accommodations, and calming techniques—with a new teacher, caregiver, or anyone supporting their child.

I found that long emails can sometimes come across as a list of demands, while a simple handout is easier to reference and feels more collaborative. I wish I’d had something like this years ago. It could have prevented an incredibly traumatic first day at one school—a day that also became one of his last there. He became overwhelmed, the situation escalated, and what could have been a manageable moment turned into a three-hour crisis that ended with me having to pick him up from school. It’s another painful memory from that chapter of our lives that I’ll never forget.

Experiences like that are a big part of why I built LifeVault.

Thanks for the feedback! 😊 OCR is the most difficult implementation of the app, especially with older documents and handwriting. I don’t think any OCR system will ever be perfect, but I’m actually encouraged that you only noticed occasional issues with older handwritten IDs. I’ll definitely keep refining it over time.

Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it!

please share w others. Thank you!
