EstateHelm Mobile Apps: Your Data Never Leaves Your Device

Available now on iOS and Android. Scan passports, driver's licenses, and create profiles from photos—all processed locally on your device using on-device AI. Your sensitive documents never touch our servers.

EstateHelm Goes Mobile

We built EstateHelm to help families organize their most important information—insurance policies, vehicle records, pet health history, emergency contacts, and more. Now you can access and capture all of it from your phone.

The apps are available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Everything syncs seamlessly with the web app, and your data remains end-to-end encrypted across all devices.

On-Device AI: Privacy by Design

Here's what makes our mobile apps different: your sensitive documents never leave your device. We use on-device large language models to process everything locally before anything is encrypted and synced.

How it works

iOS 26+

Uses Apple Foundation Models—Apple's on-device LLM built into iOS. No internet connection needed for document processing.

Android 14+

Uses Gemini Nano—Google's on-device LLM. Processes documents entirely on your phone with no cloud dependency.

For older devices without on-device AI support, we fall back to secure pattern matching for common document formats. Your data is always encrypted before leaving your device, regardless of which method processes it.

Smart Capture: Point, Shoot, Done

The camera becomes your data entry tool. Take a photo and our on-device AI figures out what it is and extracts the relevant information—all before anything leaves your phone.

Scan Passports & IDs

Point your camera at a passport, driver's license, or state ID. The app reads the MRZ code and extracts all the details. Everything is encrypted on-device before syncing.

  • Passport MRZ parsing (ICAO Doc 9303 compliant)
  • Driver's license PDF417 barcode scanning
  • State IDs, green cards, military IDs
  • All processing happens on-device

Create Pet Profiles from Photos

Take a photo of your pet and the app automatically detects the species, suggests a profile, and lets you add details. Perfect for quickly setting up profiles for all your furry friends.

  • Automatic species detection (dogs, cats, birds, etc.)
  • Photo added to pet's profile gallery
  • Match photos to existing pets
  • Vision AI runs entirely on-device

Add Family Members Instantly

Snap a photo of a family member to create their resident profile. Add their details and the photo is encrypted and synced to their profile.

  • Quick profile creation from photos
  • Add details like birthdate and contact info
  • Photos encrypted on-device before syncing

Photograph Valuables

Take photos of watches, jewelry, electronics, and other valuables. The app identifies what it is and helps you catalog it for insurance purposes.

  • Automatic category detection
  • Watches, jewelry, electronics, art, collectibles
  • Add estimated value and serial numbers
  • Build your home inventory effortlessly

Everything You Need on Mobile

Push Notifications

Share PDFs and images from Files, Photos, Safari, or Mail directly to EstateHelm. The app processes them with Smart Upload automatically.

Biometric Authentication

Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or Android biometrics. Passkey support means no passwords to remember or leak.

Same E2E Encryption

The same zero-knowledge encryption you get on the web. Your data is encrypted on your device before syncing. We can't read it even if we wanted to.

Your Documents, Your Device

We built the mobile apps with a simple principle: sensitive data should never leave your device unprocessed. When you scan a passport or photograph your driver's license, the on-device AI extracts the information right there on your phone. Only the encrypted result syncs to your account.

This means your passport photo, your ID number, your personal details—they're processed by AI running locally on your device. Not our servers. Not anyone else's servers. Your phone.

The privacy difference

X

Other apps: Upload your passport photo to cloud servers for processing, where it could be stored, analyzed, or breached.

EstateHelm: Process your passport entirely on your device. Both the extracted data and the original image are encrypted before syncing—we never see the unencrypted content.
