YOUR PHOTOS. YOUR PRIVACY. YOUR RULES. Haven Vault is a private home for your photos, videos and files — and a different way to share them. Because sharing something shouldn't mean giving up control of it. Keep private photos protected. Share them only with the people you choose. Decide how long they can be viewed, whether someone may keep a copy, and take access back whenever you want. What's private stays private. Share on your terms. Take it back anytime. Know if your trust is broken. SHARE WITHOUT GIVING IT AWAY Normal photo sharing usually means handing over a copy. Haven gives you another choice. With Haven-controlled sharing, you decide: • Who can see it • Whether they can view it once, for a limited time or until you revoke access • Whether they are allowed to keep their own copy • How strictly Haven protects it while it is being viewed Unless you deliberately allow Keep a Copy, the photo remains under your control. You shared access. You didn't surrender control. TAKE IT BACK ANYTIME Changed your mind? Revoke access to a Haven-controlled photo whenever you choose. The recipient loses access inside Haven, rather than every share becoming a permanent handover. KNOW IF YOUR TRUST IS BROKEN Haven can detect defined trust-breach events while protected shared content is being viewed. If the viewing rules you set are broken, Haven records the event so you know something happened. You choose how strict that protection should be. PROTECTED BY YOUR PRESENCE Haven is built around people, not just passwords. Facial-presence protection helps make sure your protected content is being viewed by you — not simply by someone holding your unlocked phone. Your enrolled facial data stays on your device. YOUR VAULT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your personal Vault is stored on your iPhone or iPad, not on Haven's servers. Haven does not keep a readable copy of your Vault. When you privately share something, it is encrypted on your device before it leaves. Haven cannot read the private content you share. SHARED WITH ME Photos other people share with you stay together in Shared With Me. You can enjoy what someone has shared while their original permissions remain in place. If they later revoke access, their decision remains theirs. SAVE IT — OR GIVE THEM A COPY There is a difference between sharing something and giving it away. Keep a Copy lets the owner deliberately give someone their own independent copy. Useful for family photos, holidays, celebrations and memories you actually want another person to keep. Recipients can also ask the owner for permission to save a copy. BUILT FOR THE PHOTOS THAT MATTER Your partner. Your family. Your children. Your closest friends. Private moments. Personal memories. Haven is for the photos you want other people to enjoy without automatically surrendering control of them. WITH HAVEN VAULT YOU CAN • Protect private photos, videos and files • Organise photos into albums • Import from Photos or capture directly in Haven • Share with specific people you choose • Share with trusted groups and your Inner Circle • Like and comment on photos shared with you • Create a Haven profile and @username Practice safe sharing. Your photos. Your people. Your rules. FREE AND PREMIUM Your Vault, camera, albums and receiving shares are free.

Find people by their profile name if they have chosen to be findable. Face registration now explains what is happening and confirms your face is stored on this iPhone only. Fixes for phone registration and message delivery. ### 1.1.5 — 2026-10-23 • Your sharing credits now sit at the top of the home screen. Get more any time: Haven Premium for unlimited sharing, a credit pack (5 or 10 credits), or watch Haven's short explainer for 5 free credits. • Haven starts recognising you the moment the app opens. • Shared with me stays locked on the home screen until you tap to show it. • You now choose whether the photo from face setup becomes your profile picture, and can remove it any time. • If Haven keeps having trouble recognising you, it offers a quick face registration update. Your face registration stays on your iPhone and is never shared or uploaded. • Phones that couldn't finish setting up for sharing now repair themselves. • Security and reliability improvements. ### 1.1.4 — 2026-10-21 Notifications: new messages and photos now reach you even when Haven is closed. Nothing about who sent what appears on your lock screen, and the app icon shows how many are waiting. Opens faster: Haven now opens the moment it recognises you. Messages: a new envelope above the button at the bottom right turns gold with the number of new messages, and messages and counts now update live. Moved to a new phone? Haven checks this phone is set up for sharing and messages and tells you what to do, and people who shared with you can re-send in one tap. Comments, likes and requests to save a photo arrive reliably again, and profile photos load properly. In low light, the screen brightens while Haven recognises you. New tip: add a quick button for Haven's camera. ### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-19 Haven Camera, rebuilt: Photo, Portrait, Low light, Document and Video modes, every lens on your iPhone, swipe to change mode, and the volume buttons as the shutter. Take a photo straight from the sealed screen, or with the Action Button, Back Tap or Siri ("Open Haven camera"). Seeing it still needs your face. Haven Origin: every photo you take or import can carry a signed record. Tap ⓘ on a photo for its details, who it was shared with, and a downloadable record. Faster recognition, and smoother presence checks in dim light and at an angle. Your photos now come off the screen, never blurred, whenever Haven can't see you. Choose Standard or Strict in your profile. Your profile photo is shown only to people you've shared with, unless you choose otherwise. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-16 Your Haven ID now stays signed in through updates. This fixes an issue where some people were asked to recover their Haven ID or choose a new @name after updating. Clearer guidance if the camera is switched off, including how Haven keeps your face data on your iPhone. Messages are available to everyone: message the friends you're connected with on Haven. ## Apps similar to Haven Vault | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [QR & Barcode Pro - ScanWizard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/qr-and-barcode-pro-scanwizard/id6743356652) | 3.9 (7) | Free | Utilities | | [Air Printer: Smart Printing](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/air-printer-smart-printing/id6738128447) | 4.5 (25) | Free | Utilities | | [App Lock - Password For Apps](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/app-lock-password-for-apps/id6746766591) | 4.5 (366) | Free | Utilities | | [Decibel: dB Sound Meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/decibel-db-sound-meter/id1620285258) | 4.0 (6) | Free | Utilities | | [Xiaoyi Intelligence](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/xiaoyi-intelligence/id6478143892) | 1.9 (49) | Free | Utilities | | [Phone Cleaner & File Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/phone-cleaner-and-file-manager/id6748699535) | 4.5 (750) | Free | Utilities | ## More apps by Haven Holding Company L.L.C - [Haven Biometric Wallet](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/haven-biometric-wallet/id6754844396) All apps by Haven Holding Company L.L.C: https://appshunter.io/developer/1850458496 ## Related topics [the havens cc](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-havens-cc) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
