Managed Private Cloud • DFW Exclusive

Don’t just store your memories.
Preserve your legacy.

The convenience of iCloud and Google Photos. The sovereignty of a private vault. Fully managed hardware, installed in your home, controlled by you. A dedicated private server that backs up your phone's photos automatically - whether iPhone, Android, or both.

The MemoryVault Appliance

You are the custodian of your family's history.

But right now, you are renting space from companies who view your children's photos as training data.

Custody vs. Ownership

You "own" the files, but Big Tech holds the keys. They control the encryption, the access pathways, and the "Accept Terms" button that stands between you and your memories.

The AI Training Ground

Policies evolve. What was private yesterday is "training data" today. Your family photos shouldn't exist to make a corporation's algorithm smarter.

The "Rent" Trap

Stop paying monthly rent for your own life history. When you stop paying iCloud or Google, they hold your data hostage. It's time to become the homeowner, not the tenant.

The Private Photo Cloud

A dedicated server installed in your home, giving you all the benefits of cloud storage with none of the privacy trade-offs.

1

Modern Experience on Every Device

Browse and search your photos from any iPhone, Android, or computer. Auto-backup from your phone, face recognition, map view — all the features you're used to, running on hardware you own in your home.

2

Architectural Privacy by Design

Your photos are stored exclusively on your hardware, in your home. Our remote monitoring only tracks system health (storage space, backups, uptime) — we never access your photo library. That's privacy by design, not just policy.

3

Heritage-Grade Protection

Unlike consumer hard drives that fail, MemoryVault uses enterprise-grade NVMe storage with automated redundant backups. Built to run reliably 24/7/365, protecting memories for generations.

Trust You Can Verify

Blind trust is not a security strategy. We use the "3-2-1" gold standard for data resilience.

The "Legacy" Promise

When I install MemoryVault, I'm not just plugging in a server. I'm helping you secure your family's history for the next generation. It is about peace of mind, knowing that no matter what happens to your phone or your cloud account, the moments that matter are safe at home.

The Origin Story

Why I Built MemoryVault

"After nearly a decade working in the corporate tech industry, managing enterprise data security, I realized my personal photo collection, thousands of memories collected over decades, was being analyzed and used to train AI models by Big Tech companies."

Not just stored. Analyzed. Categorized. Used for corporate gain.

I knew what real privacy looks like. I knew what true ownership means. And I knew my photo collection deserved better.

So I built it. First for my own family. The system works beautifully. It's fast, private, and completely under my control.

Now I'm offering the same system to families in the DFW area who are ready to take back control of their visual legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just a NAS?
No. A NAS is hardware you have to manage. MemoryVault is a managed service. You get the hardware, but you also get the IT department. We handle the security patches, the updates, and the monitoring so you never have to open a terminal.
What happens to my photos if MemoryVault stops operating?
You own the hardware and the data. If MemoryVault ceases operations, your appliance keeps working. We use standard, open components, so you are never locked in. You can simply take over the administration yourself or hire another IT pro.
Do you use Immich?
Yes. MemoryVault OS utilizes proven open-source components, including Immich for the photo management interface. We wrap these powerful tools in an enterprise-grade management layer, handling the complex setup, installation, backups, and security so you get the best modern features without the technical headache.
