## Description

Gallery Lock - Photo & Video provides a private vault to securely store your personal media and documents on-device. It uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, and offline storage to keep data safe. Features include hiding files from the gallery, encrypted thumbnails, one-tap imports, and app locking with PIN or biometrics. The disguise mode lets the app look like Calculator or Notes, while intruder capture and no-cloud storage add extra privacy and peace of mind.

In addition to the vault, you can lock any app with a PIN or biometric, receive intruder alerts, and enjoy a lightweight, fast experience designed for offline security without cloud storage.
