02 / SECURITY, WITH SUBSTANCE

Private by design.
Clear by choice.

Encryption for your files. Protection for your access. And a clear explanation of where those protections begin and end.

Read the full security model
AES-256-GCM · ARGON2ID · DEVICE-ONLY KEYCHAIN

Encrypted contents. Encrypted details.

AES-256-GCM authenticates file contents and the index holding filenames, file types and dates. Each vault has its own random master key.

Your pattern, plus your device.

Argon2id-derived pattern protection works with a device-only Keychain secret. System authentication is required alongside the pattern.

Local files. Independent recovery.

No Vault content server or account. Twelve recovery words unlock existing files; verified manual encrypted backups protect a saved snapshot.

Independent security review is still pending. Keep your originals and verified backups.

MORE THAN ONE SIDE TO YOUR LIFE

One app.
Your separate spaces.

Different patterns open independent vaults. The app shows the space you opened, with no visible catalog of the others.

01

An ordinary space can be a decoy.

Keep less-sensitive files in a normal vault. Opening it leaves your other spaces intact.

About decoy vaults
02

Duress is a separate, deliberate choice.

Explicitly arm one vault to survive while its next pattern unlock removes other local vaults. External copies survive; words alone cannot restore deleted files.

Understand duress mode

Hidden in the app does not mean invisible on disk. Filesystem examination can reveal encrypted containers and their count.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

A little
more clarity.

Privacy should feel simple.
So should the answers.

Protection & its limits

Yes. Choose Add → Secure camera in an unlocked vault. Take a photo or record video with optional audio, review it, then save it encrypted. Captures are never added to Photos. Photos stay in memory before saving; video uses a temporary file protected by iOS until encrypted save. Closing the camera or leaving the app discards unsaved captures. Include saved captures in your next manual encrypted backup.

LESS PUBLIC. MORE PERSONAL.

Yours.
And yours alone.

A private home for your photos,
videos and files. On your iPhone.
