Photo Vault - ShyVault

Hide Photos, Videos, Documents

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Draw a pattern to open a private vault for photos, videos and documents. Encrypted on your iPhone, black in screenshots, backed up free to your own iCloud. Photo Vault - ShyVault keeps your private photos, videos and documents behind a pattern only you know. Hide photos in a secret vault that is encrypted on your iPhone before anything is saved, so nobody, including us, can open it. DRAW A PATTERN, OPEN A VAULT • Each pattern opens its own vault. Draw a different one for a second vault, like one you can show people. • A pattern that has never been used opens a new, empty vault, so a wrong guess gives nothing away. • There's no list of vaults anywhere, so nobody can tell how many you have. • No account, no email, no password kept on a server. PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTS • Add from Photos, Files, the camera inside ShyVault, the document scanner, or the Share button in any app. • Live Photos keep their motion. ShyVault can remove the originals from Photos for you. • Folders, your own order, search, and encrypted notes for passwords and ID numbers. • Imports keep going when you leave the app. REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT JUST A PASSCODE • Many photo locker apps only hide files behind a passcode. ShyVault encrypts them with AES-256, using a key stretched from your pattern by Argon2id and tied to this iPhone's Secure Enclave. • Screenshots and screen recordings come out black, and the vault locks the moment you leave the app. • Location and camera details are removed when you share a photo out. NEVER LOSE YOUR VAULT • Every vault has a recovery phrase that opens it if you forget the pattern. • Vaults back up to your own iCloud for free, encrypted before they leave your iPhone. • On a new iPhone, open each vault with its recovery phrase. • Earlier versions bring back files you deleted by mistake. SHYVAULT PRO • Unlimited vaults, photos and videos. • Sync between your iPhone and iPad. • Shared vaults: send chosen files as a read-only vault that opens with a twelve-word code, with an expiry date and a limit on who can join. • Duress vault: a pattern that opens normally and hides your other vaults from this device, for border crossings, travel, or anyone who demands to see your phone. • Disguise icons: make ShyVault look like a calculator, printer, weather app and more, with a Home Screen tile of any name. FREE PLAN 3 vaults, and 100 photos and 10 videos in total. Notes and documents don't count, and encrypted iCloud backup is included. Anyone can join a shared vault.
