Free photo vault and photo locker for iPhone and iPad. Hide pictures, videos, files and notes in vaults protected by military-grade AES-256 encryption on your device, each locked with a PIN. Create as many vaults as you need—each PIN opens a different hidden vault. No Sealby account, no ads, no tracking.
Unlimited vaults. Free includes 20 items per vault, with up to 5 videos. Premium removes these limits.
WHAT YOU CAN KEEP IN IT
• Photos, videos and Live Photos - encrypted on import
• Take a secure photo or scan a PDF securely - Sealby saves no copy in Photos or Files
• Documents, PDFs, scans and any file type
• Real rich-text notes - journals, ideas, important details
• Folders and tags - and drag items into the order you want
• Search names, notes, text files and the text in PDFs, scanned pages included
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything is encrypted on your device before it is stored or synced
• No Sealby account or sign-up required
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking - Sealby collects no data
• No vault list - opening one vault does not reveal the others
PRIVACY TOOLS
• Highest protection in Sealby: make a vault open on this device only with its 12-word recovery phrase, which is practically impossible to brute-force - a cold vault
• See what a photo reveals - when, where and with which camera
• Remove photo metadata when you export: location and camera details are removed from photos and videos, and dates from photos
• Delete the originals from Photos after you import them
• Generate a passphrase, with your own dice if you like
SERIOUS CRYPTOGRAPHY, HONESTLY EXPLAINED
• Military-grade AES-256-GCM encryption with a separate key for every file
• Keys protected by the Secure Enclave, unlocked by your PIN, pattern or passphrase
• Each vault has its own recovery phrase, held by you and only you
Because there is no backdoor, there is also no "forgot password" reset. Keep your recovery phrase safe. If you lose every way to unlock a vault and have no accessible copy, neither you nor Sealby can recover its contents.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Free is free for good: private vaults, every file type, notes, folders, tags and search, on one device.
Premium adds encrypted backup and sync between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud, vault sharing and duress mode: a decoy vault whose PIN wipes your other vaults from this device. The Family Yearly and Family Lifetime purchases share Premium with up to six people through Family Sharing.
Choose Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime, a one-time purchase. Any available free trial and its terms are shown before you subscribe.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends, or when you confirm a purchase without a trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or the current period. Cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings under Subscriptions.
Built for iPhone and iPad (iOS and iPadOS 17 or later). Available in more than 40 languages.

Love the data privacy. The user experience is great - love the color palette.
• Cold vaults: turn a vault into an extra-secure cold vault with no PIN or pattern. It opens only with its recovery phrase, and brute-forcing it would take millions of years. Extra security at the price of convenience.
• Add your own randomness to the passphrase generator.
• Quicker, smoother sync between your devices, an easier setup, and better use of your iCloud storage.
• iCloud backup: deleting a vault now also deletes it from iCloud, and sync uses far less data while Sealby is open.
• Family plans: the new Family Yearly and Family Lifetime purchases share Premium with up to six people in your Apple family group through Family Sharing. Only the purchase is shared, never your vaults.
• Scan a PDF securely: the new document scanner saves straight into your encrypted vault and, like Take a secure photo, keeps no copy in Photos or Files.
• Search inside your files: vault search now also finds words in PDFs, scanned pages included, and in text files, and it ignores accents. A Find bar highlights matches inside a note, PDF or text file.
• Arrange your vault: hold and drag a photo, video, note or file to a new place in its folder.
• Privacy tools: see what a photo reveals (when, where, which camera), remove photo metadata when you export, and delete originals from Photos after an import.
• Live Photos: import them with their motion, press and hold to play, and save them to Photos as Live Photos.
• Copy text from notes, PDFs and text files into other apps. The copy stays on the device and clears after two minutes.
• New languages: Albanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Filipino, Kazakh, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mongolian, Serbian and Uzbek.
• Minor fixes and visual improvements.
