I’ve built a digital vault for important life documents — looking for honest UX feedback
I've been working on Life Vault, a mobile app designed to keep important personal information organized in one secure place.
The app is already largely built, and I'm now opening up the product to the developer/community feedback as part of my Shipaton journey.
The problem I'm trying to solve is pretty simple:
Important information is usually scattered across:
- PDF files
- Email attachments
- Google Drive/iCloud
- Notes apps
- Physical folders
- Screenshots
- Different apps
Life Vault brings these into one organized vault.
One feature I'm particularly interested in getting feedback on is Smart Binders.
For example, a user could create:
Home Purchase
and define rules that automatically collect:
- Home Loan
- Mortgage documents
- Closing Disclosure
- Property documents
- Home Insurance
- Tax documents
Instead of manually moving every document into a folder, the binder updates automatically when matching documents are added.
I'm currently trying to decide how flexible the rules should be.
For example:
Option A — ANY rule
Tag = mortgage OR
Category = Home Loan OR
Tag = home
Option B — ALL rules
Category = Financial
AND Tag = mortgage
What would make more sense to you as a user?
And if you were building something like this, what would you change about the organization model?
I'm particularly interested in feedback from Android developers because I'm also thinking about the UX and architecture behind this feature.
I'm documenting the journey publicly for Shipaton 2026 and will share the changes that come from community feedback.
Life Vault is currently available on Google Play if you'd like to see the actual product:
