Private by design.
You choose what to keep, where it lives, and when to share it.
The collection
Use one app or several. Each is designed around a distinct part of a life, with clear ownership and privacy at its center.
Make a clear, encrypted plan for the digital life your family may one day need to manage.
Document trusted contacts, password-manager access, devices, accounts, subscriptions, important documents, backups, and more. Then create a Recovery Kit your family can print or save.
Write and shape the story of a life, one memory at a time.
A hosted site for stories, photos, timelines, family trees, and the places that matter, with a built-in memorial mode. Free to start; a desktop companion app is on the way.
Rediscover the photo library you already have.
Browse your chosen folders locally, then find memories through metadata, people, dates, places, albums, and maps—without moving your library to a new cloud.
Turn scattered records into a useful personal archive.
Import documents into an Obsidian-compatible Markdown vault, preserve their provenance, and search or chat with your notes with citations back to the source.
LifeScribe Vault is ready to download today—free, local, and built to help you leave clear instructions for the people you trust.
