Use cases
Who uses Vault Studio Pro, and for what
Vault Studio Pro is an office suite that processes files in your browser instead of on a server. That matters most to people whose documents shouldn't pass through a third-party upload service. These guides show real workflows for each group, and are specific about what the app doesn't do.
For legal work
Redaction, .docx editing and encrypted handoff for law offices.
For healthcare admin
Redacting patient details from PDFs without uploading them.
For accountants and bookkeepers
Spreadsheets, client PDFs and encrypted exports.
For journalists
Offline work, redaction and encrypted handoff of documents.
For students and teachers
Free editors in the browser, no installs or accounts.
What every use case has in common
- Files are opened, edited and saved in the browser tab. The page's Content-Security-Policy refuses connections to other sites. See security.
- No accounts, no ads and no tracking scripts.
- PDF redaction rebuilds each redacted page as an image, so the text under a box is removed. See how it works.
- Projects stored in the browser are not encrypted. Encrypted .vault exports and the File Safe use AES-256-GCM.
- It is not a certified compliance product: no HIPAA BAA, no SOC 2 report, no admin console or single sign-on.
Who it is not for
Teams that need real-time co-editing, a shared document repository, single sign-on, audit logs or a signed compliance agreement should use a product built for that. Vault Studio Pro is built for one person working on a file on their own device, and it says so on every page.
