Not a public feed, not a place where strangers can find you: a small, closed space where only invited members can see what's shared.

HOW IT WORKS
Create a vault — a couple vault for two people, or a family vault for up to five — and invite the people you want in it. Everything posted inside stays inside: no public profiles, no followers, no algorithm deciding who sees your memories.

YOUR MEMORIES, ENCRYPTED
Every photo is encrypted on your device before it's ever uploaded. Only the people in your vault hold the keys to see it — not even we can view your photos. The only exception is a photo that someone in your vault chooses to report to us.

Your key is backed up, locked with your password, so you keep your photos when you change phones or reinstall the app.

FEATURES
• Private, invite-only vaults for couples or
• A shared feed and albums for organizing photos together
• React to the moments that matter
• Push notifications when someone shares something new
• Full control — delete any photo, leave a vany time

STORAGE
Every vault comes with 500MB of storage for free — no card needed, no time limit.

Need more room? The vault's owner can upgrade to 50GB or 200GB with a monthly or yearly subscription, and the extra
space is shared by everyone in the vault. Suh Google Play, renew automatically, and can be cancelled any time in your Google Play subscriptions. If a plan ends, your photos stay safe and viewable.

Pause isn't trying to be the next big social network. It's just a quiet, private place to keep sharing life's small moments with the people closest to you. ## Rankings - #2,451,707 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `com.spiceetech.pause.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Family Vault: Secure Photo App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mixaline.family_vault) — 46 users - [DuoVault — Couple Photo Vault](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.xti.duovault) — 1 users - [Keepr - Family photo sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.keeprcircles.app) — 148 users - [Vault Private Gallery](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.safesignals.vault) — 57 users - [DigiVault: Hide & Share Photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dudhaiya.digivault) — 12 users - [LoveVault](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lovevault.app) — 13 users - [Photo Enclave](https://chrome-stats.com/d/studio.src.safecamera) — 17 users - [My Album](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.myalbum.app) — 965 users - [Hide my videos and Photo lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.familywall.photoalbum) — 767 users - [SnapSafe - Hide gallery Photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.androphix.imagelocker) — 4,336 users - [Private Photo Gallery & Vault](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.galeriaprivada.fotos) — 10 users - [Journal Jar: Safe Family Album](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.momentsapp.app.id) — 8 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.spiceetech.pause)
