Photo Vault: Pattern Lock

Encrypt private photos, videos and notes behind a pattern only you know. Every pattern opens its own hidden vault. No account, no ads, nothing uploaded.

Photo Vault keeps your private photos, videos, documents and notes encrypted and hidden behind a pattern that only you know.

YOUR PATTERN IS THE KEY Draw a pattern on a 5×5 grid to open your vault. The pattern isn't just a lock screen: it unlocks the encryption key, so your files can't be read without it. You can hide the pattern while drawing so no one can watch it over your shoulder.

REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT JUST HIDING Every file is encrypted with AES-256 on your iPhone before it is saved. Encryption keys are protected by the iOS Keychain. Someone who copies your phone's storage finds only scrambled data.

MULTIPLE HIDDEN VAULTS Each pattern opens its own separate vault. There is no list of vaults, no file names and no counts, so nobody can tell how many vaults you have or whether a pattern they tried simply doesn't exist.

DURESS VAULT Turn any vault into a duress vault. If you are ever forced to unlock the app, draw that vault's pattern: it opens normally while every other vault is silently and permanently destroyed.

DISCREET APP ICONS Change the home screen icon to Calculator, Printer, Units, Device Info, Level, Sound Meter or Network.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Import photos and videos from your library, take new ones with the camera, or add documents from Files • Write private notes that are encrypted too • After importing, choose to remove the originals from your Photos library • Search, filter, sort and select multiple items • Zoom photos, play videos and share items when you choose

RECOVERY PHRASE Each vault gets a 12-word recovery phrase. If you forget your pattern, the phrase lets you back in and set a new one.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account or sign-up • No ads and no tracking • Nothing is uploaded. Your files and keys never leave your iPhone • The vault locks automatically when you leave the app and is hidden in the app switcher
