What's New in Bulbul

2.6.0

July 1, 2026

- New Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight actions let you lock or open Bulbul without launching the app first. - The Add button is now a floating + you can drag to either edge of the screen — it snaps and remembers its side. - The widget's bulbul tile became a Quick Memo button; tap it to unlock and open a fresh memo instantly. - Files list rows now respond to swipe gestures for Delete, Rename, and Set as background. A new "Delete without confirmation" toggle in Settings is there for power users. - The text editor saves as you type and the edge swipe-back gesture works again. - Fixed a regression where picking from Files or Photos could briefly flash the lock screen and freeze the UI behind a stale modal.

What’s encryption algorithm?

The app works very well, but nothing is known about its security. The encryption algorithm is unknown. It is not clear whether the app actually encrypts data with a cryptographic algorithm such as AES‑256, or if it is only hiding the files. Because of this, I do not want to entrust the app with any critical files.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. You’re asking exactly the right question, and I want to be transparent about how the app currently protects your files. Today, the app uses two main layers of protection. First, all files are stored inside the app’s private container and protected by iOS Data Protection, which uses hardware-backed encryption for data stored on the device. Second, passcodes are used to keep spaces isolated from each other. Your passcode is never stored on the device or in iCloud, and the app cannot reveal or recover it. A passcode only opens its own space and cannot access files from another space. To be fully transparent, file contents are not yet re-encrypted with a key derived directly from your passcode. At the moment, the passcode provides access control and space isolation on top of iOS’s built-in at-rest encryption. I’m actively working on adding passcode-derived file encryption as an additional layer, so files will be cryptographically tied to the passcode itself. I really appreciate you holding the app to a high security standard — that’s exactly the right expectation for an app handling sensitive files.
