## What is Fort Knox?

If someone opened your phone right now — what would they see?

Your photos. Your documents. Your private life.
One tap is all it takes.

Fort Knox makes sure that never happens.

Real Protection. Not Just a Hidden Folder.
Most "private photo" apps are just folders with a password. Easy to open. Easy to fail.

Fort Knox is different. It's built like a vault.

- Face ID & Touch ID — only you can unlock
- Secure PIN protection
- 100% local storage — nothing ever leaves your device
- Stealth mode — hide the app in plain sight
- Break-in alerts for every unauthorized attempt

Because privacy should never depend on luck.

What happens when someone tries to get in?
You don't just block them. You expose them.

- Intruder Selfie — captures anyone entering the wrong PIN
- Instant alerts — know the moment it happens
- Fake Vault (Premium) — show harmless content if you're forced to unlock

No guessing. No blind spots.

Everything Private. One Secure Place.
- Photos & videos
- Documents, IDs & passports
- Audio recordings
- Personal notes

Import from Photos and Files, or capture directly in the app — so sensitive content never appears in your gallery.

Fast. Simple. Under Your Control.
- Secure folders and subfolders
- Tags, comments & smart metadata
- AI-powered keyword suggestions
- Lightning-fast search across every file

Find what you need instantly — and keep everything else hidden.

Unlock Full Protection
The free version gets you started. Premium makes you truly secure.

- Unlimited storage — no caps on files, folders, or subfolders
- PIN-protect individual folders — extra security for your most private content
- Fake Vault with separate PIN — show decoy content under pressure
- Built-in PDF document scanner — capture IDs and papers directly into your vault
- Trash, watermark-free exports, and smarter import — every detail polished

Because partial protection isn't protection.

100% Private by Design
Your data stays on your device. Period.
No cloud. No servers. No tracking.

Only you have access.

Take back control of your privacy.
Download Fort Knox now.

### 5/5 — Genau was ich wollte

*2025-01-14, version 1.4.0*

Zwei Dinge waren mir wichtig: dass ich kein Konto anlegen muss und dass meine Photos nicht in der iCloud rumschwirren! Und bin hier fündig geworden. App hat 2 Anzeigemodi: zum einen einen Superusermodus, in dem du alles siehst und machen kannst. Und dann eine Art Gastmodus, wo nur extra freigegebene Dateien sichtbar sind. Beide Modi haben eigene Pins, so dass niemand merkt, wenn man sich im ‚Gastmodus‘ einloggt. Kann übrigens auch animierte GIFs und LivePhotos. Scanner und Camera inklusive. Viele Features. Eigentlich für ALLE Arten von Dateien verwendbar, nicht nur für Fotos und Videos.
