iPhone

Truly private photos. Hide, lock & encrypt with Face ID. Search text in any image. On-device only — no cloud, no accounts, no tracking. Privately keeps your photos truly private — hidden, locked, and encrypted on your iPhone. No cloud, no servers, no ads, no tracking. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR RULES Hide photos from your default library with a tap. Lock specific albums behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN — perfect for personal moments, IDs, receipts, and screenshots you'd rather keep out of sight. ENCRYPTED ON YOUR DEVICE Every photo you import is encrypted on your iPhone using AES-256-GCM, with keys protected by Face ID/Touch ID. Nothing leaves your device. Privately is built without servers, so even we cannot see your photos. UNLOCK INSTANTLY WITH FACE ID Open hidden albums with biometrics in a glance. Set a PIN as a fallback. Albums re-lock automatically when you switch apps or close Privately, even if your phone is still unlocked. SEARCH TEXT INSIDE ANY PHOTO On-device OCR runs across your entire encrypted vault. Find receipts, documents, screenshots, and notes by their contents — without sending anything to the cloud. ENCRYPTED BACKUPS YOU CONTROL Export a password-protected archive (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM). Store it in iCloud Drive, Files, or another cloud — even if the file leaks, your photos stay encrypted. WHY PRIVATELY • On-device encryption (AES-256-GCM) • Face ID / Touch ID / PIN protection • True hidden albums — invisible from the iOS Photos app • Text search inside photos (OCR) • Encrypted, password-protected backups • No accounts, no servers, no analytics • Designed for iOS — fast, private, beautiful PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY We don't track you. We don't ask for an account. We don't connect to a server. Your photos and metadata never leave your iPhone unless you choose to export them. For everyone who wants their personal photos to stay personal — family, friends, work, finance, health — all under your control, all on your phone.
