How it works

A code to open it, a shake to hide it, a vault behind every code, and a backup that stays encrypted.

Locked with your PIN

Photos are encrypted on your phone. Only your PIN opens them, and there is no copy anywhere else to open instead.

Add anything

Video, PDFs, anything you can pick from Photos or Files. Whichever picker it came from, it is encrypted on the way in.

Shake to hide

One shake and your vault looks like a normal gallery. Real photos you don’t mind anyone seeing, with nothing on screen to say there is more behind them.

A PIN for each vault

Different PIN, different photos. They never mix, and from inside one there is no sign the other is there.

Back it up, still encrypted

Save everything in a space to one file, sealed with your code. Put it on a new phone and it opens with the code the backup was made with.

FAQs

Where are my photos stored?

On your phone, encrypted inside the app. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

What happens if someone takes my phone?

The app opens on a PIN pad, so there is nothing to see without your code. If you are already inside, shaking the phone swaps your vault for an ordinary gallery.

Can anyone tell there is a hidden vault?

No. The app looks and works exactly the same either way.

What if I forget my PIN?

You can open the vault with your recovery phrase, the twelve words the app shows you once during setup.

What if I lose my phone?

You can save your whole library to one encrypted backup file and restore it on a new phone. Without a backup, the photos go with the phone.

Can I get my files back out?

Yes. You can share or save anything back out at full quality, at any time.
