Secret vault

Create files inside a local encrypted vault protected by a PIN. Secret vault files remain on the device and cannot be recovered if the PIN is lost.

Local privacy

PlainForge does not declare internet permission. File access stays limited to the documents and folders that you explicitly choose through Android's file picker.
