A five-minute quick start

Here is the shortest path to a vault that already earns its keep. Five steps, about five minutes.

1. 1Upload a stack. Drag a handful of PDFs and photos onto the vault, or use the Upload button. See Upload your first document.
2. 2Check the categories. Each file lands in a category. Open one that looks off and move it, categories are how you browse later.
3. 3Add a tag or two. Tags like 2025 or car cut across categories and make filtering instant.
4. 4Try a search. Type a word you know is *inside* a document, not just in its name. OCR makes the contents searchable.
5. 5Set one reminder. Pick a passport or insurance doc with an expiry and add a reminder so Stoatify nudges you ahead of time.
