## Description

Truly private. Hide, lock & encrypt with Face ID. Smart Search open to everyone for a limited time. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking.

Privately keeps your photos truly private — hidden, locked, and encrypted on your iPhone. No cloud, no servers, no ads, no tracking.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR RULES
Hide photos from your default library with a tap. Lock specific albums behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN — perfect for personal moments, IDs, receipts, and screenshots you'd rather keep out of sight.

ENCRYPTED ON YOUR DEVICE
Every photo you import is encrypted on your iPhone using AES-256-GCM, with keys protected by Face ID/Touch ID. Nothing leaves your device. Privately is built without servers, so even we cannot see your photos.

UNLOCK INSTANTLY WITH FACE ID
Open hidden albums with biometrics in a glance. Set a PIN as a fallback. Albums re-lock automatically when you switch apps or close Privately, even if your phone is still unlocked.

SEARCH TEXT INSIDE ANY PHOTO
On-device OCR runs across your entire encrypted vault. Find receipts, documents, screenshots, and notes by their contents — without sending anything to the cloud.

ENCRYPTED BACKUPS YOU CONTROL
Export a password-protected archive (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM). Store it in iCloud Drive, Files, or another cloud — even if the file leaks, your photos stay encrypted.

WHY PRIVATELY
• On-device encryption (AES-256-GCM)
• Face ID / Touch ID / PIN protection
• True hidden albums — invisible from the iOS Photos app
• Text search inside photos (OCR)
• Encrypted, password-protected backups
• No accounts, no servers, no analytics
• Designed for iOS — fast, private, beautiful

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY
We don't track you. We don't ask for an account. We don't connect to a server. Your photos and metadata never leave your iPhone unless you choose to export them.

For everyone who wants their personal photos to stay personal — family, friends, work, finance, health — all under your control, all on your phone.

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
Privately PRO unlocks the full app with one of two auto-renewing subscriptions:
• Yearly: $39.99 USD / year, with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, your subscription automatically converts to a paid yearly plan unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period.
• Weekly: $6.99 USD / week (no free trial).

Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Local prices may vary by region; the exact price for your region is shown in the in-app subscription tile. You can manage and cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID Account Settings.
