What is Vaultaire?
Most vault apps hide your photos behind a PIN. Get the phone unlocked, or run a forensic tool, and the photos come back. Vaultaire encrypts every file with AES-256-GCM and a key you draw as a pattern. No account. No cloud. No backdoor.
The difference is the wrong pattern. Vaultaire opens an empty vault instead of an error. No lock screen, no way to prove anything else exists. Draw another pattern, open another vault. Draw your duress pattern and the app wipes your local vaults while it looks normal. Your encrypted iCloud backup stays safe to restore later.
What you get:
- AES-256-GCM encryption, per-file IVs, 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations
- Wrong pattern opens an empty vault, so nothing proves you're hiding anything
- Separate hidden vaults, each behind its own pattern
- Duress mode for forced unlocks
- No account, so there's nothing on a server to subpoena
- iCloud backup encrypted end to end. Apple can't read it
- Share albums with one-time phrases that decrypt on the other person's device
Your photos are protected by math, not promises. Built by an ex-Google engineer.
Best for: Privacy-conscious iPhone users, journalists, and anyone who's handed an unlocked phone to a partner or a border agent.
- Hide private photos
- Encrypt sensitive documents
- Protect photos from snooping
- Store medical and ID documents privately
- Hide photos before a border crossing
- Journalist source protection
