Your photos, sealed on your device. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Export your originals anytime, free.
Your photos. Truly private.
Arca is a private vault for photos and videos with no server, no account, and no tracking. Everything is encrypted on your device with AES-256 — nothing ever leaves your phone, and nobody (including us) can see your photos. Ever.
WHY ARCA IS DIFFERENT
Most "photo vault" apps advertise military-grade encryption while quietly storing your photos unprotected. Arca was built the opposite way:
• Real AES-256 encryption — every photo, video, and thumbnail is individually encrypted, with keys protected by the Secure Enclave
• Zero knowledge — no server, no account, no cloud. There is nothing to hack and nothing to leak
• Your data is never trapped — export your original photos losslessly anytime, free
• Encrypted backup — save a single encrypted backup file to Files or iCloud Drive that only your PIN can open
• No lock-out dark patterns — your imported photos always stay accessible
PROTECT WHAT MATTERS
• Hide private photos and videos behind a 6-digit PIN and Face ID
• Private camera shoots straight into the vault, bypassing your camera roll
• Albums, favorites, and a fast, beautiful gallery
• ID cards, documents, licenses — keep them off your camera roll
SERIOUS SECURITY FEATURES
• Decoy vault — a second PIN opens a separate, innocent vault
• Break-in report — see when someone tried (and failed) to get in, with photo evidence
• Disguised app icon — hide Arca behind a Calculator, Clock, Calendar, or Photos icon
• Auto-lock and privacy shield in the app switcher
• Strip location data when sharing
ARCA PREMIUM
Unlimited items, decoy vault, break-in report, encrypted backup, and disguised icons. Annual or pay-once lifetime. Your photos are never held hostage — exports stay free forever.

Wonderful Photo Vault - Brings Great Peace of Mind!
Thistle487
Arca fully delivers on its promise of privacy, with strong encryption and multiple ways to protect whatever you store. Knowing that my photos aren’t stored on any server brings me an unbeatable peace of mind, one fully worth the app’s price. A sleek design and multiple ways of making sure someone can’t just force their way in make it even sweeter.I’d love to see improvements to the video player (better scrubbing, ability to fast forward/rewind by a certain amount of seconds, etc.), and would love a notes section (perhaps even with a rich text editor?)—but the app fulfills all its main priorities, and so I give it 5 stars for doing its job well and beautifully!
Developer Response
This is the kind of review that actually helps, thank you. Better video controls are next on my list, scrubbing and skip forward/back included. A notes section is an interesting idea, I'll think about how it fits without bloating the vault. And yes, nothing ever leaves your device. That part isn't negotiable for me.
Amazing

Arca is one of the most privacy-focused photo vault apps I’ve seen. Everything stays encrypted on your device with no account, no cloud, and no tracking, so your photos remain under your control. I especially like the decoy vault, disguised app icons, and encrypted backups for extra security. If privacy is your top priority, Arca is an excellent choice for protecting photos, videos, and important documents. 🔒📸
