About this tool
Privately organize preferences, conversations, and gift ideas.
Contact Memory Vault is a two-field notebook — Contact and Memory — for recording what you know about the people in your life: coffee order, kids' names, the surgery they mentioned, a gift idea you overheard. Records are stored in your own browser's localStorage under a single key, searched with a plain-text filter across both fields, and exported or reimported as a JSON file you control. It suits anyone who keeps meaning to remember these details and would rather not put them in a cloud CRM.
Open Contact Memory Vault on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Type into the Contact and Memory boxes and press Add record — records are saved to this browser's localStorage under a single key.
Filter the Saved records list with the "Search records" box, which matches text across the Contact and Memory fields together.
Press Export JSON to download contact-memory-vault.json, or Import JSON to restore a backup — importing replaces every record currently saved.
The filter matches across the contact name and the memory text together, so typing 'vinyl' finds the note even when you have forgotten whose it was.
Export writes a plain JSON array you can read, edit or back up yourself, and import restores it — there is no account and no proprietary format.
The Memory box is a textarea, so a single record can hold a paragraph of context instead of being forced into 'job title' and 'company'.
In your browser's localStorage, under one key belonging to this tool on this site. Nothing is uploaded, but that also means the notes live in that specific browser profile — clearing site data or using a different browser or device shows an empty vault until you import your JSON export.
No. They are stored as readable JSON in browser storage, so anyone with access to your unlocked computer and browser profile can read them. Treat it as a private notebook rather than a secrets manager, and keep genuinely sensitive information out of it.
Use Export JSON on the old browser, move the downloaded file across however you like, then use Import JSON on the new one. Importing replaces the current list with the file's contents, so export first if the new browser already has records you want to keep.
Most people find the opposite — remembering that someone's mother was in hospital or that they do not drink is a form of attention, not surveillance. The useful test is whether you would be comfortable with them reading the note; if not, do not write it.
