HomeVault is a local-first document manager for iPhone and iPad. Scan, import, organize, search, and protect important documents with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. There is no HomeVault account or backend. Documents stay on device by default, with optional encrypted Apple iCloud backup only when the user enables it.
Just shipped the biggest HomeVault update yet.
HomeVault is still fully local-first: your documents never leave your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync.
What’s new:
• Widgets for Home Screen and Lock Screen
See how many documents are expiring soon. Widgets show only counts, never document names.
• Siri & Shortcuts
Ask things like “Find a document in HomeVault” or “What’s expiring in HomeVault?” Search, scan, and check expiry dates hands-free, while sensitive document content stays protected behind Face ID.
• Smarter scanning
HomeVault can now detect expiry dates while scanning passports, IDs, insurance papers, and similar documents, including formats like “12 MAR 2027”. Everything runs on device.
• More in the free tier
Full-text OCR search is now free for everyone, and the free tier now supports up to 25 documents.
Also included:
• Local backup and restore
• Duplicate detection
• Document packs for Travel, Car, Home, Tax, and Medical
• Tag management and bulk edit
• iPad keyboard shortcuts
Would love to hear what you think.
One tradeoff we keep thinking about is speed vs structure. For personal documents, would you rather have faster capture with minimal tagging, or a bit more structure up front so retrieval is easier later? Curious how people actually balance that.
