For parents in their 80s & the children who love them

Put a lifetime of paperwork in order — in minutes.

One big button. Your parent scans a document; FamilyVault reads it, understands it, files it, and writes a plain-language summary. No folders to create. No technology to learn.

The problem

Decades of critical paper. No overview. No easy handover.

Contracts, medical reports, deeds, pensions, insurance — scattered across drawers and cupboards. Families often discover too late that something important is missing.

📦

Volume & disorder

Documents in folders, boxes and envelopes, sometimes across several homes.

🔍

Can't be found

Even the owner can't quickly locate last year's tax assessment or a cardiologist's report.

🧩

Hard to understand

Long, formal, legal or medical language — often in several languages.

⏳

Painful handover

At illness or loss, the next generation inherits a stressful, error-prone burden.

How it works

One tap does everything

The senior only ever sees three big buttons. The intelligence happens quietly in the background.

📸

Scan

Point the phone at a page. The camera finds the edges and captures automatically. "Is there another page?" — Yes / No.

🧠

Understand & file

FamilyVault reads the text, works out what it is, files it in the right folder, and writes a 2–4 sentence plain-language summary with key dates.

💬

Find — by asking

Type or speak "my knee operation report." The best answer appears first, large and readable, with a short summary.

Built for Europe

Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Your parent's most sensitive records — medical, legal, financial — deserve more than a generic cloud drive. FamilyVault is engineered around European law from the first line of code.

🇪🇺

EU data residency

Storage, processing and AI inference all happen inside the EU. Backups are geo-redundant — but never leave Europe.

🚫

Never trains AI

Your documents are never used to train models. We use providers with contractual zero-retention and EU data residency.

🔐

Encrypted per vault

TLS in transit, encryption at rest with per-vault keys in a hardware-backed key service. An end-to-end mode is on the roadmap.

❤️‍🩹

Special-category care

Medical records are GDPR special-category data — handled with explicit consent, a DPIA, and stricter access controls.

📤

Your data, never locked in

Export the complete archive anytime as a structured ZIP (PDF + CSV). Deletion propagates to indexes, backups and AI caches.

🛡️

Anti-abuse by design

Sharing changes are visible to the owner, with cooling-off periods and a full audit log — guarding against elder financial abuse.

✓ GDPR-first ✓ EU AI Act aligned ✓ eIDAS-ready ✓ WCAG 2.2 AA ✓ ISO 27001 (roadmap) ✓ Breach notice within GDPR timelines

The honest comparison

Why not just use Google Drive or Dropbox?

Generic cloud drives are brilliant storage. But they make you do all the work — and they weren't designed for an 80-year-old, or for European privacy expectations.

👆

One action per screen

No swipes, long-press, pinch gestures or hidden menus.

🗣️

Voice-first option

Voice search, read-aloud summaries, optional voice guidance while scanning.

↩️

Forgiving

Nothing deletes by accident. 30-day recovery bin. Every action has a clear Undo.

💬

Plain language, no jargon

No "sync", "OCR" or "upload". Calm feedback, no timeouts or pressure.

Benefits hidden. You're now looking at the pure app experience — exactly the three-button world a senior sees. Tap through the screens on the right.
