AtticAlbum: Encrypted Photos

AtticAlbum is a private photo and video vault built for people who take their privacy seriously. STRONG ENCRYPTION, SIMPLE EXPERIENCE Every photo and video in your vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, the same standard that protects your Apple Pay transactions. Your encryption key is stored in the device Keychain, where only AtticAlbum can reach it. With iCloud Sync on (the default), iOS backs it up through iCloud Keychain so you can restore on a new device. Apple's end-to-end encryption keeps it unreadable to Apple and to us. Turn iCloud Sync off and the key stops syncing: it is removed from iCloud Keychain and kept on this device only. BUILT-IN PRIVATE CAMERA Capture photos and videos directly into your encrypted vault, bypassing your Camera Roll and iCloud Photos entirely. Or save normally, or to the Hidden album. You decide before every capture. Supports flash, zoom, grid overlay, self-timer, and front and back camera. MULTI-LAYER SECURITY - One lock over all your albums, with Face ID, Touch ID, or Passcode - Individual album passcodes for compartmentalized security - Configurable auto-lock (immediately, 1, 5, or 15 minutes) - Brute-force protection with exponential lockout - Screenshot and screen recording protection - Privacy shield hides content in the app switcher ORGANIZE YOUR WAY - Unlimited albums with custom names (Pro) - Sort albums by name, date, item count, or custom drag-and-drop order - Filter and sort media by type, date, or size - Search by caption, date, or media type - Bulk operations: move, export, caption, delete - Archive albums to declutter without deleting - 30-day trash with full recovery PORTABLE ENCRYPTED BACKUPS Create password-protected backup archives (.hsbk) and store them anywhere: on iCloud Drive, an external drive, a USB stick, or any storage you trust.
