Private Photo Vault - Noxium
Secret Locker & Decoy Vault
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Hidden photo vault with a pattern lock, not your passcode. A second pattern opens a decoy. Encrypted on your iPhone, backed up to your own iCloud. No ads, no accounts.
Noxium is a private photo vault and photo locker for iPhone. It encrypts photos, videos and notes with AES-256-GCM on your device, so your files are unreadable without the pattern you draw.
HIDDEN IS NOT THE SAME AS PRIVATE
Most photo locker apps only hide your pictures behind a PIN. Noxium encrypts them on your iPhone before anything is saved, including names, dates and places. Someone who copies your phone's storage gets scrambled data, not photos.
PATTERN LOCK, NOT YOUR PASSCODE
Draw your own pattern on a 5×5 grid to open the vault. Nothing to type, nothing to shoulder-surf. Your pattern is never stored, so nobody can reset it: not us, not Apple. Face ID is optional for your main vault.
DIFFERENT PATTERN, DIFFERENT VAULT
A second pattern opens a decoy vault that looks like an ordinary Noxium. Fill it with harmless photos and show it when someone demands to see your phone. The app never shows how many vaults exist. With Pro, an emergency erase pattern goes further: drawing it opens a harmless vault and quietly erases the others.
BACKUP THAT ACTUALLY RESTORES
Encrypted iCloud backup is included in Free and Pro. Your vault is encrypted on your iPhone before it reaches your private iCloud, so only scrambled data ever leaves your device. On a new iPhone, draw your pattern and everything comes back. Forgot it? The recovery phrase you wrote down at setup opens your vault.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no email, no profile. Noxium runs no servers and has no analytics or ads. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.
WHO IT'S FOR
People who share a phone with family or a partner. Journalists, activists and anyone crossing a border who may be told to unlock their phone. Patients keeping medical photos, and anyone with ID scans, contracts or bank documents on their iPhone. Couples, and anyone with photos that are nobody else's business. If you've ever handed your phone to someone and hoped they wouldn't swipe, Noxium is for you.
