Secret Photo Vault: WeaveVault
Hide photos, videos & files
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Weave Vault is a hidden photo vault for iPhone and iPad. Hide photos, hide videos, and lock private documents behind a pattern only you know — encrypted on your device, with no account to create.
Draw a pattern. That pattern is the key.
PATTERN LOCK
Draw at least six dots on a 5×5 grid to open your vault. The pattern is never stored — not even as a hash. It is used only to derive an encryption key, in memory, on your device.
DIFFERENT PATTERNS OPEN DIFFERENT VAULTS
Every pattern opens its own vault. What is in one vault is not reachable from another, and the app never tells you a pattern was wrong — it simply opens whatever that pattern opens.
YOUR ENCRYPTED PHOTO GALLERY
• Hide photos and videos out of your camera roll
• Browse a private album — swipe, zoom and play video
• Organize a vault with folders
• Import from Photos or Files, or shoot straight into the vault with the built-in camera
• Keep documents encrypted too — IDs, passports, bank cards, PDFs
REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT JUST A GALLERY LOCK
Many photo lockers hide files behind a passcode screen and leave the files themselves readable. Weave Vault encrypts the file:
• AES-256-GCM for every photo, video and file
• Argon2id to derive your key from your pattern
• Encrypted metadata and encrypted thumbnails
Standard, published cryptography. Nothing home-grown.
A WAY BACK IN
If you forget your pattern, a 12-word recovery phrase — shown once, when you create the vault — restores access. Write it down and keep it safe. It is the only spare key, and we do not have a copy.
ENCRYPTED BACKUP
Optional and off by default. Your vault is encrypted before it leaves the device and stays encrypted in your own iCloud. Restore it on a new iPhone with your pattern or recovery phrase. Treat it as device-loss insurance.
DECOY VAULT (PRO)
Set a second pattern as a decoy. Opening it shows a vault you have chosen to look ordinary, and removes this device's access to your other vaults. Your encrypted backup, if enabled, is frozen rather than deleted, so your recovery phrase can bring those vaults back on another device.
SHARE A VAULT (PRO)
Send an encrypted copy of a vault to someone you trust. They open it with a phrase you give them — no account required, and receiving is always free. Every share has an expiry you choose, from one hour to thirty days, and you can stop it early. It is a point-in-time copy: anything you add afterwards is not included.
PRIVATE NOTES AND CONTACTS (PRO)
Write notes and keep contacts inside a vault, encrypted like your photos. Notes are listed by last edit, contacts A–Z. Call, message or WhatsApp a contact straight from its card, or add one from your iPhone's contacts without giving the app access to your address book. Search finds notes and contacts by what they say.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO
No ads. No analytics. No crash reporting. No tracking SDKs. No social sign-in. We do not sell or share your data. Sharing is the one feature that uses our server: it keeps only what it needs to enforce each share's expiry and limits — never your files' contents or your phrase.
SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
