Protection
Layers between your photos
and everyone else
Encryption is only half of privacy. The rest is making sure nobody knows there is anything to look for.
Face ID unlock
One look and you are in. Your key lives in the Secure Enclave — everyone else gets a passcode screen.
AES-256 encrypted vault
Every file is sealed with AES-256-GCM on device. Even with your phone in hand, the bytes are unreadable.
Private albums
Organise inside the vault with albums, favourites and a date-grouped grid that stays fast at thousands of items.
Secure backup
Export the whole vault to one encrypted file you control. A lost phone should never mean lost photos.
Break-in alerts
Wrong passcode? Vaultly silently photographs whoever is holding your phone and logs the time.
Privacy first
We cannot see your photos.
Ever.
Not a promise about what we choose to do. A fact about how the app is built.

Vaultly ships with no networking code at all. Not "we promise not to upload" — there is nowhere to upload to. Check the App Store privacy label: every field reads Data Not Collected.
1
There is no account
Vaultly never asks for an email, a phone number or a sign-in. There is nothing to link your photos to you.
2
There is no server
The app ships with no networking code at all. Your photos are never uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload them to.
3
Your passcode is the key
It never leaves the device and is never stored. It unwraps a random 256-bit key held in the iOS keychain.
4
Which means we cannot recover it
Forget your passcode and the photos are gone — including for us. That is the honest cost of encryption that actually works, so make a backup.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Where are my photos stored?
On your iPhone only. Vaultly has no account system and no server. Every photo and video is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on the device, and the key never leaves it.
What if I forget my passcode?
Nothing can be recovered. Your passcode is the only key and Vaultly never stores it. That is what makes the encryption real — it applies to us too. Create an encrypted backup so a forgotten passcode or a lost phone does not mean lost photos.
What is a decoy vault?
A second passcode that opens a completely separate vault with its own photos. If someone pressures you to unlock the app, you open the decoy. There is no way to tell from inside it that a real vault exists.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Vaultly is a universal app with a sidebar layout on iPad and a tab layout on iPhone. It requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.
Can I hide the app itself?
Yes. Disguise the icon as a calculator, weather or notes app, remove it from the Home Screen so it only appears in the App Library, and hide it from Spotlight search.
Are screenshots protected?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. A screenshot taken inside Vaultly is saved to your Photos library, outside the vault. Vaultly warns you when it detects one so you can delete it.
