Private photos, videos and files, inside an app that looks like any other. Only your PIN opens it.
Everything you keep is encrypted the moment it comes in, and stays on your phone. No server ever sees it, because there is no server.
Why a vault
Your phone holds the things you would never show anyone. Photos. Screenshots. Documents. And it opens for whoever is holding it: a partner who knows your code, a friend who borrows it, a stranger who takes it.
The front door
Every phone has apps nobody looks at twice. With VaultSec, one of yours keeps everything you'd never show, and looks just like the rest.
The foyer
Pick the everyday app it looks like, and change it whenever you want. Its icon on your home screen changes with it. Which ones? You'll see them in the app.
The decoy room
If someone at home insists, you can show them something harmless. What's really yours stays shut away.
The hand-off room
Put the phone down or switch away and VaultSec looks ordinary again, on the instant. Nothing on screen gives it away.
The viewing room
Pick the photos you want to show, then hand your phone over. They can swipe through those and nothing else. Any way out locks the vault.
The key room
Your PIN only works together with this phone's security chip. A copy of the phone opens nothing, anywhere.
The porter's lodge
If someone tries to get in, you'll see when. Without your PIN, they won't see what you keep.
The post room
Send private photos to up to 8 people you've met in person. Only they can open them, and a photo sent to view once is erased after one look.
The sorting room
Swipe through your gallery one photo at a time: left to delete, right to keep, up to hide in the vault. Nothing changes until you tap Apply, and deleted photos wait 30 days in Recently Deleted.
The workshop
Take a picture that never appears in your camera roll. It goes straight into your vault.
Use Face ID or your fingerprint, once you've shown it's you since the phone started.
Move to a new phone without leaving a spare key anywhere. Your backup opens only with your PIN.
Step out for a second and come straight back, without starting over. Off unless you want it.
VaultSec finds items that are exact copies and offers to remove the extras. The one you filed in a folder is the one that stays.
A video plays from where you stopped, starts with the sound off, and can loop. Where you stopped is kept encrypted, like everything else.
The strongroom
VaultSec is designed against two real threats: someone holding your unlocked phone, and someone copying everything on it.
If you forget your PIN, it is gone. No reset, no recovery email, no support line, no back door. A way back in for you would be a way in for someone else.
The box office
Your first 100 items are free, forever. Unlimited removes the cap for good.
One-time purchase · no subscription. The price is shown in the App Store and Google Play at launch.
The way out

Until then: how to hide photos with what your phone already has
VaultSec is coming soon to iPhone and Android. Free to start, no account, every protection included.
Get VaultSecYes. Every protection works in the free version, for up to 100 items. Unlimited is a single purchase that only removes the cap. There are no ads.
The vault cannot be opened, by you or by us. There is no recovery service by design. Keep your PIN somewhere safe, and keep a current encrypted backup.
No. They stay on your phone unless you send them, and VaultSec has no servers. We could not hand them over to anyone, because we never have them.
You can set up a decoy: a separate, harmless vault that looks real. It never reveals or erases the real one.
That stays between you and your phone: VaultSec shows you when you set it up. We don't publish it here, so nobody who reads this page learns it either.
On your home screen it looks like an ordinary app you choose, with its own name and icon. Your app store's purchase history will still list VaultSec.
Make an encrypted backup, move the file to the new phone, and restore it with your Primary PIN.
Yes. VaultSec never connects to the internet. Only the one-time purchase goes through Apple or Google.
VaultSec is coming soon to iPhone and Android. This page will link to both stores on launch day.
