Understand
Granite reads each document, figures out what it is, pulls out the fields that matter, and links it to the people, vendors, and places it concerns.
Tax forms, IDs, vehicle titles, insurance, leases, medical EOBs, business filings, school records. New types added weekly.
Forward any email, attachments and all, to your private Granite address and it lands in your vault, read and filed like anything you drop in by hand.
Map any Dropbox folder to a vault. Granite imports what's there, keeps its own encrypted copy, and files new arrivals within a minute of them hitting the folder.
Type a scrap straight into the vault: a policy number from a phone call, what the support rep told you. It's saved as a document and searchable with everything else. There's no editor, so notes you intend to keep writing still belong in a notes app.
Granite pulls out the values that matter: wages, dates, account numbers, expirations.
A one-paragraph summary on every document.
Each document is connected to the people, vendors, vehicles, and accounts it concerns.
Granite recognizes when you've already filed a document, even from a different scan.
Fix anything Granite got wrong: fields, document type, the works.
Every document gets a second read after Granite files it. If the second read disagrees, or isn't sure, Granite flags the document for review instead of guessing quietly. Confirm the type with one click. The Needs review filter lists every flagged document, so you can work through them in one sitting.
Granite checks the single values it pulls out (a date, an amount, a policy number) against the page they came from. Anything it can't confirm is marked as not confirmed, so you know what to check before you rely on it.
Every correction trains Granite for you specifically. Your vault gets sharper the more you use it.
Find
Plain-English queries that return either the right document or the answer drawn from it, with a citation back to the page so you can verify.
Keywords and meaning, combined behind a single search box.
Ask questions the way you'd say them: “When does my passport expire?” “What's the deductible on my home insurance?” “What did I pay for the roof repair?” Granite returns the answer with a citation, and clicking it opens the document at the exact source page. On the web, select a passage in any document to ask what it means.
Describe what you want: “my 2023 tax return,” not three dropdowns.
Organize
Auto-collections form themselves around tax years, vehicles, and insurance policies. Entities link everything that mentions the same person or place. Manual collections cover everything else.
Keep the different parts of your life apart: personal, a solo business, a rental property, each its own vault with its own documents, collections, and entity graph. Switch between them in a click, or see everything at once. Everyone gets one Personal vault free; adding more is part of Granite Paid.
Tax 2024, Honda Civic, Home Insurance: each forms automatically as documents arrive.
Group anything however you want, for any reason.
Tell a collection what belongs in it, in plain English: “anything from my accountant” or “bills for 12 Oak St.” Granite previews the matches, files everything that fits, and keeps filing new documents as they arrive. Documents that almost fit show up as suggestions for you to accept or skip.
Granite tells you when a collection looks incomplete and suggests what probably belongs.
Every vendor, person, vehicle, account, and property gets its own page.
An opt-in home that surfaces what's expiring, what's missing, and what just grew.
A bill to pay, a form to sign, a letter to answer, a policy to renew: Granite spots the documents waiting on you and puts them at the top of Home with the deadline and how urgent it is.
Moving? Granite turns your vault into a prioritized address-change checklist: every bank, insurer, and provider that has your old address, pulled from your own documents, with account numbers and your local postal mail-forwarding link.
Trust
Encryption is the floor (see the security page for the engineering). Below are the controls that actually live in your settings.
Give someone else access to a vault you own, with view-only access or full access to add and edit. They sign in with their own Granite account, so your documents never leave your vault. Change a role or revoke access any time, with an optional expiry.
Every view, download, export, edit, and login on your vault. Twelve-month retention, append-only.
Enroll an authenticator app from your settings.
Every Monday, an email lists what's due or expiring in the next 30 days, with anything that needs your attention first. Titles and dates only, never the values inside. Turn it off anytime.
Continuity
A vault that only works while you're alive and paying isn't really a vault. Granite is built so your archive outlives your subscription, your laptop, and you.
Download every document, plus extracted fields and the audit log, as a ZIP that opens without Granite.
Export a single collection, useful when an accountant just needs your 2024 taxes.
Name one person who can request access to your archive in an emergency.
An opt-in dead-man's switch: if you stop checking in, your emergency contact gets access.
Your archive is preserved when you cancel, exportable any time, fully restored when you reactivate. Reading and search pause while inactive.
Free covers the reader, the search, and the export. Paid covers everything else.
