Hatch Vault

Hatch is a private, encrypted vault for photos, videos, documents, notes and passwords. It looks like a calculator. It opens with a secret code. It has a decoy. And nothing you put in it ever leaves your phone. NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. NO ANALYTICS. Nothing to sign up for, nowhere for your data to go. Hatch works with the network off. We cannot see your vault, sell it or lose it — we never receive it. HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT On the outside, Hatch is a fully working calculator. Type your PIN, press = and the vault opens. Pick an alternate app icon to blend into your home screen. REAL ENCRYPTION Every file is encrypted on the device with XChaCha20-Poly1305. Your PIN, password or pattern is stretched with Argon2id and never stored; keys are sealed in the Secure Enclave. A DECOY, AND A DURESS CODE A second PIN opens a second, believable vault. A third — the duress PIN — destroys the real keys in one write and opens the decoy as cover. Move items into the decoy, and rehearse the wipe on a scratch vault first. Both are off by default. CATCH INTRUDERS Every wrong PIN is logged, and if you switch it on, a front-camera photo is taken of whoever typed it. Repeated failures trigger an escalating lockout and, if you choose, self-destruct. A dead-man's switch can erase the vault if it goes unopened for too long. A PRIVATE CAMERA Shoot photos and video straight into the vault. The frame is encrypted as it is captured and never touches your photo library. IMPORT AND LEAVE NO TRACE Copy or move from your photo library or Files. Move deletes the originals and strips the EXIF/GPS trail before encrypting. Or share into Hatch from any app. A GALLERY THAT FEELS LIKE YOUR PHONE'S Timeline by day, month and year. Albums, tags, favourites, search and auto-categories. A full-screen viewer with zoom, video and audio playback, trimming and a recently-deleted bin — all from encrypted thumbnails held only in memory. Live Photos, bursts and edits grouped into stacks; RAW and HEIC understood. MORE THAN PHOTOS Encrypted markdown notes with history. A wallet for passwords, cards and two-factor (TOTP) codes. Per-folder locks for what should stay shut even while the vault is open. LEAKS NOTHING App-switcher preview covered, clipboard wiped, auto-lock when you leave the app, on a timer, and whenever the device locks. Excluded from iCloud backups. Never appears in your photo library, search or file pickers. BACKUP ON YOUR TERMS Export one item, a selection or the whole vault as an encrypted .hatch bundle. A recovery phrase, shown once at setup, is the only way back in if you forget your secret — we hold no copy. Accent colours, light and dark, eight languages. PRIVACY POLICY (SUMMARY) Hatch collects nothing. No account, no server, no analytics, no crash reporting, no ads. Permissions (Photos, Camera, Microphone, Notifications) are requested only when a feature needs them and are optional. Deleting the vault or the app erases everything, including the keys — we cannot recover it. TERMS OF USE / EULA (SUMMARY) You receive a personal, non-transferable licence for devices you control. What you store remains yours. You are responsible for what you keep, your device's security, your backups and the laws that apply to you. Do not use Hatch to hold illegal material, destroy evidence you must preserve, or attack the app. The disguise and anti-intrusion features are privacy tools, not a defence against forensic examination; the duress wipe is instant and irreversible. Provided as is; liability limited to the extent the law allows. Honest about its limits: Hatch protects data at rest. It cannot protect you from someone who knows your secret, malware on a jailbroken phone, or a person beside you while the vault is open. No app can.
