GrayBox - Camera & Vault
Dash Cam & Photo Safe
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
GrayBox turns the camera you already carry into a dash cam with a private photo safe. No wires, no SD card, no account. Now on iPhone and iPad.
Open the app and you're recording in about a second. Tap for a photo, hold for video, slide left to keep recording hands free. Your music keeps playing while you record. Everything goes straight to your private library, never your Photos app. If a call, an app switch, or a dead battery interrupts you, GrayBox keeps everything up to that moment, picks back up when you return, and stitches it into one clip with every interval time-stamped.
A DASH CAM WITHOUT THE WIRES
• Mount your phone and drive
• Car Mode (Pro) is one tap from the camera and starts recording with your saved driving settings
• Speed in mph or km/h and the time, burned right into your footage
• Your music keeps playing the whole drive
• Dual Cam records the road and the cabin at the same time, split screen or picture in picture (iPhone)
• Swap the main camera without cutting the recording
• A large dim clock while the screen is dimmed, so the phone stays mounted
• Your location is only used to draw your speed and is never stored
FOR THE MOMENTS YOU NEED ON RECORD
• A traffic stop, a fender bender, a heated moment, anything you might need proof of
• Lock Mode dims the screen and freezes the controls while recording continues
• Unlocking takes a deliberate press and hold, 2 to 10 seconds, your choice
• Volume buttons won't stop it either
A PRIVATE PLACE FOR PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS
• Keep photos of your ID, insurance card, receipts, and paperwork out of your camera roll
• Albums, favorites, and Recently Deleted (kept for an hour, a day, or a month)
• Select photos by dragging in any direction
• Import existing photos and videos, export anything, anytime
A LIBRARY ONLY YOU CAN OPEN
• Your passcode gives nothing away, not even its length
• Optional Face ID
• Optional self-erase after too many wrong guesses, and you pick the number
• After a run of wrong guesses, entry pauses for a few minutes so nobody can rush the limit
THE CAMERA
• Photos and video up to 4K
• Flash, front and rear cameras, pinch to zoom from 0.5x to 10x
• Turn the mic off for video only
• Optional blurred hold instead of jump cuts, so clip length matches the clock
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts, no cloud, no ads, no analytics
• Nothing about you is ever collected
• Your library is excluded from backups and never appears in Photos unless you export it
GRAYBOX PRO
One purchase, yours forever. No subscription. Less than a dash cam memory card.
• Car Mode with speed and clock
• Locked Albums: an album with its own passcode and optional self-erase
• Security log of every wrong guess and erase, time-stamped, and it survives the erase
• Instant Lock: flip your phone face down or triple tap
• Pattern and full keyboard passcodes
• Timestamp burned into your footage
• Eight themes
The $100 dash cam on the shelf? You're already holding a better one. Just add a mount.
