Your Vaults: Maple House and Willow Creek Farm, with Create New Vault

Family

Everyone finds it. Nobody signs up.

Your family's vault lives on each of your phones. When phones are near each other they swap updates directly, sealed with a family key only your phones hold.

  1. Open Family and tap Start a family.
  2. Choose what to share, from a single box up to whole floors.
  3. Your family scans the code with their Camera. If they don't have TagVault yet, the code takes them to get it first.
Owner

Runs the family, changes roles and invites people.

Adult

Adds, moves and deletes anything, and opens Records.

Kid

Adds and finds things. Can't delete yours or open Records.

Privacy

What's in your home stays in your home.

App Privacy

Data Not Collected

We don't collect any data from this app. There's nothing to collect it into.

  • No account. Open the app and start. Your name and picture stay on your phone.
  • No cloud, no server. Your things, photos and papers live inside TagVault on your devices.
  • AI on your phone. Photo naming uses Apple Vision on every iPhone, and Apple Intelligence where you have it. Nothing is uploaded.
  • Backed up your way. iCloud Backup includes TagVault, and you can save one locked backup file to Files or iCloud Drive.
  • No ads, no tracking. No analytics and no ad networks.

Read the full Privacy Policy.

What you need

Works on the iPhone you have.

Any recent iPhone

Search, the map, boxes, QR labels, family sharing and photo naming work on every iPhone that runs the app.

NFC sticker tags

Any NTAG213 or NTAG215 sticker. A pack of 20 costs a few dollars.

Apple Intelligence, if you have it

On iPhone models with Apple Intelligence, TagVault also writes fuller descriptions, reads receipt totals and answers in sentences.

Questions

Good questions.

Where is my stuff kept?

Only on your phones. There's no account and no server. Things, photos and records live inside TagVault on your device, and travel directly between your family's phones.

What if I lose my phone?

Your iPhone's iCloud Backup includes TagVault, so a restored phone gets everything back. For an extra copy, go to Settings › Save a backup: one locked file you can keep in Files or iCloud Drive.

How do I share with my family?

Open Family › Start a family, then Add someone and let them scan the code in person. After that, phones swap updates whenever they're near each other. No internet needed.

What can kids do?

Kids add things and find them. They can't delete what someone else added, can't open Records, and can't invite people. The owner or an adult can change anyone's role.

What does “Only me” do?

Open a box, tap ••• › Only me. That box, everything inside it and its photos stay on this phone. Family phones never get them, and drop copies they already had.

How do NFC tags work?

Open a box and tap Assign NFC tag, then hold the top of your iPhone to a sticker tag (NTAG213 or NTAG215). Later, tapping the tag opens that box straight away.

How does photo naming work?

Apple's recognition on your phone looks at the photo and suggests a name and tags. Newer iPhones with Apple Intelligence write a fuller description. Nothing is uploaded.

Does it cost anything?

No. TagVault is free, with no ads and no subscription.
