We've been busy. This January release is our biggest update yet, with over 40 improvements designed to make documenting your belongings and preserving family stories easier than ever.
VaultTag Product Update: What’s New and What’s Next
Over the past several months, the VaultTag team has shipped over 40 app updates, completely redesigned the user experience, and launched features we’re genuinely proud of. Here’s everything that’s new—and what’s coming next.
What’s New
Family Story Collaboration
This is the feature we’re most excited about.
You can now send a link to family members so they can record audio or text stories about your items—no app download required.
- Grandma can record a voice memo about that antique clock from her phone.
- Dad can type out the history of his father’s watch from his computer.
Stories flow directly back into your VaultTag inventory.
Even better, a single item can now hold multiple stories from multiple people. That heirloom ring can carry your grandmother’s memory alongside your mother’s perspective alongside your own. Different people remember different things. Now you can capture all of it.
Gift Subscriptions
VaultTag now makes a meaningful gift.
You can purchase subscriptions for family members with:
- Scheduled delivery
- Custom messages
- Timezone support
Choose from 1, 2, 3, or 5 year options. It’s a thoughtful way to help parents or grandparents start preserving their own stories.
Perfect for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, housewarmings, or just because.
Complete App Redesign
If you tried an earlier version of VaultTag, you’ll find a completely different experience now.
We’ve overhauled the entire app with a fresh design focused on what makes VaultTag special: the stories behind your items. Navigation is smoother, the interface is cleaner, and everything feels more intentional.
Simplified Sign-Up
We removed the phone number requirement from registration. This makes account creation faster and opens VaultTag to users worldwide, not just in the US.
Guided Onboarding
New users now get an 8-step tutorial that walks through VaultTag’s key features. You can start documenting and capture your first story within minutes of downloading.
Stronger Security
We’ve improved login protections including:
- Face ID and Touch ID
- Multi-factor authentication
- Behind-the-scenes security upgrades
Your memories deserve bank-level protection.
Accessibility
The app now meets WCAG standards, ensuring VaultTag is usable for people with visual impairments or other accessibility needs.
Quality of Life Improvements
Dozens of small improvements based on user feedback, including:
- Pinch-to-zoom on images
- Smoother navigation
- Better audio playback
The details matter.
Behind the Scenes
We’ve also made significant infrastructure improvements you won’t see but will benefit from:
- Payment protection to ensure you’re never accidentally charged twice
- Security hardening with additional protections against abuse
- Improved email communications with refreshed branding and better-timed tutorial sequences
- Faster website with optimized JavaScript
Business Updates
We’ve refined our pricing based on user feedback:
- $6.49/month or $64.99/year
- 14-day free trial to explore everything before committing
- 30% off for users who sign up through our partners or with a promo code
We’ve also launched a VaultTag blog with articles on home inventory best practices, insurance preparedness, estate planning, and preserving family stories.
