The thing you need shows up before you go looking for it.
Memory Vault finds the receipts, warranties, and photos already on your phone and puts the one thing you need today in front of you. Everything stays on your phone. Nothing private ever leaves it.
You already took the photo. Finding it again is the problem.
Your camera roll holds the receipt for the thing you want to return, the warranty for the thing that just broke, and the photo from the day you want to remember. When you need one of them, this is what happens.
The receipt hunt.
You bought something, snapped a photo of the receipt, and moved on. Months later the store wants proof of purchase and you are scrolling through thousands of photos trying to remember what month you bought it.
The dead warranty.
A tool stops working. You are sure it is still under warranty, but the paper is in a drawer somewhere and the photo of it is buried in your camera roll. By the time you find it, the warranty has already run out.
The forgotten moment.
You took a photo on a day that mattered and meant to come back to it. A year later it is one thumbnail among thousands, and nothing on your phone ever reminded you it was there.
Memory Vault exists so none of that happens again. It finds what is already on your phone, reads the dates, and shows you the one thing that matters today.
Three steps. No account. No setup.
Install it.
Download Memory Vault from Google Play. There is no account to create and no sign-in. Open it and it is ready.
Grant permissions.
The app asks for access to your photos, your files, and optionally your calendar and notifications. It explains each one in plain words before it asks. Say no to any of them and the app still works with whatever it has. It never asks twice in a row.
It finds things, and shows you one thing a day.
Memory Vault scans the photos and documents already on your phone, tags each one, and pulls out the dates that matter: purchase date, total, warranty end date. Every morning it picks one item worth seeing today and tells you why in one plain sentence, like "Your blender warranty ends in 3 days." At most one notification a day. If nothing is due, it says so instead of making something up.
You can search everything it found, star the items that matter, and correct any tag it got wrong. Correcting it teaches it what to show you next.
Your photos and receipts never leave your phone.
- Memory Vault works with no account and no sign-in. There is no password, no profile, and no server holding your documents.
- Tagging and date extraction happen on your phone. The app reads your photos and documents locally and stores what it finds in a database on the phone only.
- There is no cloud sync in version 1. Your items are not backed up, uploaded, or shared anywhere by this app.
- The app does not read your email. It does not read your messages. It does not read other apps. It only looks at the photos and documents you let it see, your calendar if you allow it, and places you save yourself.
- Deleting an item deletes it for real: the record, its tags, the extracted text, and its cached thumbnail. A delete-all option in Settings wipes everything the app stored.
- One-time model download: the on-device tagging model is about 253 MB. It downloads once over Wi-Fi the first time you run the app. After that the app works fully offline. The model runs on your phone. It sends nothing anywhere.
$10 a month. One price. No tiers.

Questions
No. Memory Vault never reads your email, your messages, or any other app. It only looks at the photos and documents already on your phone, and only the ones you let it see.
No. In version 1, nothing you own leaves your phone. No uploads, no cloud sync, no account. The tagging model downloads once over Wi-Fi and then runs on your phone. After that the app works offline.
Android phones. The exact minimum Android version is set when the first test build ships. If your phone is too old to run it, the waitlist invite will say so.
Not supported. Memory Vault is Android only. There is no iPhone version planned.
Each morning the app picks one item worth seeing and tells you why in one plain sentence, based on real dates it found: a warranty about to end, a receipt tied to a calendar event, a photo taken on this day in a past year, or something you looked at recently. At most one notification a day. If nothing is due, it says so. You can answer yes or no on whether the pick was useful, and that changes what it shows you next.
The app stores its database and cached thumbnails on your phone, and deleting the app removes them. Your original photos and documents stay where they were. The app never copies your photo files into its own storage, it only keeps references to them, so uninstalling costs you nothing you already had.
