Memory Aid LockBox is built so that your data stays yours.
- On your device and in your own private iCloud. The vault is stored locally and synced through your personal iCloud (CloudKit private database).
- No developer server. There is no backend that receives or stores your data, and the developer has no access to it.
- No accounts, no sign-in. The app uses your Apple account's iCloud directly — there's nothing to register.
- Face ID / Touch ID unlocks the vault, with a device passcode fallback if biometrics aren't available or don't match.
- Auto-lock relocks after a period you choose, and the vault locks immediately when the app goes to the background.
- No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no telemetry. Nothing about your usage is collected or sent anywhere.
- The app ships with a privacy manifest declaring no data collection and no tracking.
- Text recognition (scanning cards and receipts) and the AI extraction/"ask" features run entirely on-device. Scanned content and questions are not sent to a server.
Each is requested only when you use the feature that needs it, and each has a clear purpose:
- Face ID — to unlock the vault
- Camera — to scan or photograph items
- Photos — to add images to items
- Location — only when you tap Tag location on a note/journal/receipt (your address-map feature looks up a typed address and does not use your location)
- Calendars / Reminders — to add appointments and shopping lists you create
