Personal Vault

A smarter home for your documents

Stop keeping important documents scattered across your phone, your email and random folders.

Upload
PDFs, photos, scans and receipts, from your phone or your computer.
Understand
Dates, amounts, names and categories are read out of every document.
Organise
Everything is filed and searchable without you naming a single folder.
Calculate
Receipts and bills become real spending figures, by month and category.
Remember
Renewals, warranties, bills and expiry dates are tracked for you.

Ask your Vault

How much did I spend on electricity this year?

When does my car insurance expire?

Which warranties expire in the next 90 days?

Answers come from your own documents, with a link to the source.

Spending

Your receipts become your expense tracker

No spreadsheets. No manual typing. Upload receipts and Formalini does the rest.

Formalini never asks for your card number, PIN or bank login.

The real cost of 'it works'

Your manual process isn't free.

A team typing 500 forms a month at 8 minutes each spends about 67 hours on data entry — roughly €2,100 a month, plus the typos nobody catches until an invoice bounces.

Questions people ask first

Do I need a template?: No. Formalini reads the document and builds a structure for it. If you already have a schema, it maps to yours instead.
What is an AI credit?: One credit is one page read. A three-page PDF uses three credits.
Can it read handwriting?: Yes, including ticked boxes, readings and signatures. Anything uncertain is flagged for a quick human check.
Where does the data go?: Out as JSON, a file export, a signed webhook or through the API into your own system.
Is my document stored?: Demo files are read once and never stored. In an account, you control retention and can delete anything.
