Obscura - Private Vault

Private vault. No cloud, ever.

$9.99

One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM. No cloud, no account, no telemetry: your data never leaves your device. Obscura is a privacy vault for your iPhone and iPad. Files you put into Obscura are sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key derived from your password, and they live encrypted on your own device. There is no cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics, and no account to create. The developer never sees your data. Obscura is for people who keep sensitive personal content on a phone that other people sometimes handle: partners, family, border agents, repair shops. It addresses threat models that ordinary hidden-album tools don't. Plausible deniability. When you open Obscura, it shows a fully playable arcade with three cabinets (WAVE, MAZE, DRIFT). Anyone who opens the app and doesn't know your secret gesture sees a retro game and nothing else. There is no login screen announcing that a vault exists on this phone. You unlock it with a silent gesture made during gameplay. Panic exit. A floating red button sits over the vault. One tap instantly returns to the arcade and wipes in-memory keys. Obscura also re-locks the moment you leave the app. No network, by design. Obscura cannot phone home because there is no home to phone. The optional cloud-import feature uses your own provider account. The developer never sees the contents. Face ID and Touch ID. Your password is held in the Secure Enclave and released only after a successful biometric check, so you don't retype it constantly. The password itself is still required for first unlock and for recovery. 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it offline. If you forget your password, the phrase recovers your vault. Without it, nothing recovers the vault, not even the developer. That is the trade-off, by design. Everything in Obscura is on your device, under your password. Built for plausible deniability and resilience, sold once.
