Screening Room

Encrypt photos, videos, and files in place—no imports or server uploads. Works with iCloud Drive and OneDrive. Unlock with Face ID and play instantly. One-time Pro.

Screening Room is a privacy-first media protection and playback app built around one simple idea: your files should not have to move.

Traditional vault apps often require you to import photos and videos into a separate private library. Screening Room works differently. It encrypts content in its original storage location, so your media can remain in On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, a NAS, or another compatible location available through the Files app.

No duplicate media library. No upload to a developer-operated server. Encryption, decryption, viewing, and playback happen on your device.

[ENCRYPT IN PLACE]

• AES-256 encryption for photos, videos, and other files • No app import and no extra media copy stored inside the app • Works with On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, and compatible third-party storage locations • Encrypted items no longer expose the original thumbnail, reducing accidental disclosure through previews and recent items

[DECRYPT WHILE PLAYING]

• Open encrypted videos directly; content is decrypted in memory as it plays, without writing a decrypted media copy to storage • Playback speed controls, gesture seeking, and rotation lock • Zoom and swipe browsing for encrypted photos

[ACCESS UNDER YOUR CONTROL]

• Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, or a password • Privacy Mode helps reduce exposure of protected content when you hand your phone to someone else • A Recovery Code and optional iCloud backup can help restore access if you forget your password

[STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING]

• Free: all core features for up to 3 protected files • Pro: a one-time in-app purchase removes the file limit • No subscription • Decryption and export always remain free, so your files are never locked behind a purchase

[PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE]

No account, no usage analytics, no tracking, and no developer-operated server used to store your files. Your media stays in the storage location you choose, and protection happens locally on your device.

Your files stay where they are. Only you get in.
