FAQ
What is AlterVault?
AlterVault is a secure application designed to store your photos, videos, and documents with strong encryption directly on your iPhone. It ensures your private files remain inaccessible to others and are never uploaded to the cloud.
How does AlterVault protect my privacy?
Your files are encrypted using XChaCha20-Poly1305 and your key is secured by Argon2id, tied to the iPhone's Secure Enclave. This means your data is encrypted before it even touches the disk and is useless if copied elsewhere.
Can I access a second hidden gallery with AlterVault?
Yes, AlterVault offers two galleries. You can set up a second gallery and quickly switch to it by shaking your iPhone, providing an extra layer of discreet access.

No, AlterVault does not contain advertisements. The app is free to use with limitations and offers a Pro version for enhanced features.

The free version of AlterVault allows you to store up to 10 items. It also includes the second gallery and the shake-to-switch feature.
How do I upgrade to AlterVault Pro?
You can upgrade to AlterVault Pro to remove the item limit and gain access to more private spaces and custom app icons. Pro is available via a one-time purchase for life or a monthly subscription.
What happens if I forget my code for AlterVault?
AlterVault provides a twelve-word recovery phrase that you should write down and keep safe. This phrase is essential for regaining access to your vault if you forget your code, as nobody else can reset it for you.
