Encrypted family document vault for two countries

Never lose access to your life back home.

Passports, visas, OCI and national IDs, property papers and wills from both countries, in one vault your whole family shares. Almirah reminds you before a SIM, a KYC or a renewal back home quietly lapses, and encrypts everything on your phone so not even we can read it.

Free to start on iPhone and Android. Your free Stay-on-the-grid checklist is inside.

End-to-end encrypted. We can't read your documents, even if we wanted to.

Nominee set

Living abroad shouldn't mean losing your paperwork back home.

Most NRIs don't lose access all at once. It slips away quietly.

Your home SIM lapses

And with it the one-time codes for your bank and government accounts back home.

Documents live on WhatsApp

Scans of passports and ID cards scattered across chats, phones and two countries.

Nobody knows where the papers are

When a parent is unwell, children abroad scramble for policies, deeds and nominations.

One vault. Both countries. The whole family.

01

Two-country vault

Both countries' passports, visas, national IDs, bank and tax papers, deeds and wills, organised per family member.

02

Home-country packs

Document types and renewal checklists for your home country. India first: SIM, PAN, bank KYC, OCI. More countries coming.

03

Parents join free

Invite siblings and parents back home. They can snap and upload papers from their phone.

04

Emergency access Coming soon

Choose who can open the vault if something happens, after a waiting period you control.

First country pack: India

The NRI Stay-on-the-grid checklist

The yearly to-do list that keeps Indian accounts, IDs and paperwork alive while you live abroad. Free in the app from day one. Packs for the Philippines, China, Vietnam and Nepal are next.

Get the app Read the full checklist →
  • Recharge your Indian mobile number before it expires
  • Set your PAN residential status to NRI
  • Redesignate resident accounts to NRO and keep bank KYC current
  • Update your OCI details after a passport renewal
  • Check nominations on parents' policies, accounts and property

We can't see your documents. That's the point.

Almirah is end-to-end encrypted. A breach of our servers would expose only scrambled data, never your passport.

Encrypted on your phone

Every file is locked before it leaves your device. Only ciphertext reaches our servers.

Your key stays with you

Unlocked with Face ID or your fingerprint. We never hold a key that can open your vault.

Verified family invites

Family members confirm a short safety code, so nobody can slip into your vault.

Share links that expire Coming soon

Send a document to a bank or agent, view-only, and revoke it any time. No more WhatsApp scans.

Questions

Which countries does it support?

The vault, family sharing and expiry reminders work with documents from any country. Country packs add home-country checklists: India first, then the Philippines, China, Vietnam and Nepal. Tell us yours from the app.

Who can see my documents?

Only you and the family members you invite. Files are encrypted on your device, so the Almirah team can't open them.

How much can I store?

Free holds 10 documents (250 MB), Personal 5 GB and Family 20 GB shared, with files up to 25 MB each. Scans are compressed on your phone, so 5 GB fits thousands of documents. If you reach your limit, nothing is deleted. You can still view and share everything; new uploads just pause until you free up space or upgrade.

What if I forget my passphrase?

You'll get a 24-word recovery key when you sign up. Because we can't read your vault, we can't reset it for you, so keep that key safe.

Can my parents back home use it?

Yes, free. They get a simple upload flow on their phone, so they can photograph a policy or deed and it lands straight in the family vault.

Where is it available?

Almirah launches first on the Australian App Store and Google Play, then New Zealand, the UK, US, Canada and beyond.

Give your family's papers a safe home.
