About Granite
Granite is a document vault for households and one-person businesses. It accepts PDFs, scans, phone photos, text files and email attachments, then identifies documents, extracts relevant fields such as dates and amounts, and organizes records around people, properties, vehicles and tax years. Its library covers more than 110 document types, including tax forms, identity records, insurance policies, leases, vehicle papers and medical documents. Users can search by document content and meaning; Granite Paid also answers plain-English questions with citations to the source page. The service runs in a web browser and on iPhone. Paid adds email-in, multiple vaults, sharing and emergency access. Dropbox folder synchronization is available, and a read-only API and MCP server let supported assistants and tools search and ask questions about a vault. Users can export their full vault as a ZIP of their original files.

ArkWarden
ArkWarden is a private vault for iPhone that stores photos, videos, documents, and audio files.
Most vault apps hide files behind a lock screen. ArkWarden encrypts every file individually, using a key derived from a pattern you draw, so it is not just a lock screen in front of already-decrypted files. A second factor can be added: a YubiKey hardware security key over NFC, Face ID, Touch ID, or a separate PIN.
Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Keys are derived using PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600,000 iterations with a random salt per vault. Vault metadata is encrypted separately with ChaCha20-Poly1305. A recovery phrase generated during setup restores access if the pattern is forgotten.
The encryption code that protects vault files is open source and published on GitHub, so these claims can be checked against the implementation.
No account, no email address, no server. All data stays on the device. An optional encrypted iCloud backup is available, where only user holds the key.
