Kinship Vault

Your vault, your keys. Decryption keys never leave your device. Scan IDs or import photos. Fully offline. No cloud. Split recovery key into secure parts you control.

Kinship Vault

Kinship Vault is an encrypted document and photo vault designed so that even we cannot access your data.

Your decryption keys are generated and stored in your device’s secure hardware - not on our servers, not in our database, and not in any cloud. You remain in full control of access and recovery at all times.

Lose your phone, switch devices, or plan for long-term access - recovery is always defined by you, on your terms.

WHAT IT DOES

• Scan & extract documents (100+ types) On-device OCR and structured extraction for global documents including passports, IDs, tax forms, visas, health records, and more. Capture with camera or import any photos from your library. All processing happens locally. Nothing leaves your device.

• Smart expiry reminders Automatic alerts 90, 30, 7, and 1 days before document expiration.

• Hardware-level encryption Each document is encrypted using AES-256-GCM with per-document keys. Master keys are protected by Secure Enclave (iOS) and never leave secure hardware in plaintext form.

• Flexible recovery options (your choice)

• Passphrase recovery using a mnemonic you write down, print or store
• Trusted recovery circle using cryptographic key shares as QR codes or printable PDF card . Any 3 of 5 can reconstruct.
• Optional time-based recovery mechanism with designated contacts

• Privacy controls for sensitive data Health and sensitive documents remain strictly local by default, require biometric authentication, and are excluded from unencrypted exports.

• Tamper-evident activity log A cryptographically chained audit log of key actions including views, edits, and recovery events.

• Emergency mode Biometric protection, duress PIN support, and emergency screen fallback after repeated failed attempts.

• Optional encrypted backup Encrypted backups can be stored in iCloud or exported manually. All backups are encrypted on-device before leaving your phone. Your key to unwrap backup never goes to iCloud.

• Emergency profile access Store critical details such as blood type, allergies, emergency contacts, and travel ID references for quick access when needed.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT

Most vault apps rely on cloud storage or centralized access systems. Kinship Vault is designed around user-owned security.

• Fully on-device by default • No server-side access to keys or documents • Built for structured document understanding, not just file storage • Multiple independent recovery paths instead of a single password • Cryptographic recovery instead of account-based reset systems

Individuals and families managing important personal documents. Professionals working across borders. Users who prioritize privacy, control, and long-term document safety.
