## What is Memories?

Your photos. Your encryption. Your control.

  Memories is a private photo vault with military-grade AES-256 encryption, a decoy gallery, intruder detection, and multiple layers of protection that go
  far beyond a simple PIN lock. Import photos from your iPhone Photos library, the Files app, or your Mac — then browse, organize, and protect them in a
  beautiful, native iOS experience.

  MILITARY-GRADE PRIVACY
  • AES-256-GCM encryption — the same standard used by governments and banks
  • Encryption keys stored in your iCloud Keychain — only you can decrypt
  • Selective encryption — choose exactly which photos to protect
  • Zero data collection, zero tracking, zero third-party servers

  DECOY MODE
  • Set a decoy PIN that reveals a completely fake photo gallery
  • Your real, encrypted library stays invisible
  • Perfect plausible deniability — hand over your phone with confidence

  INTRUDER DETECTION
  • Wrong PIN silently captures a front-camera photo
  • Know exactly who tried to snoop and when they tried

  APP LOCK & MOTION LOCK
  • Face ID or passcode required to open the app
  • Motion Lock auto-secures the app the moment your device is picked up
  • App Switcher Shield hides your photos from the iOS recents view

  IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
  • Import from your iPhone Photos library
  • Import from the Files app — any folder, any source
  • Sync your Mac Photos library over local WiFi (Coming soon)
  • Smart duplicate detection — no doubles, no wasted storage
  • Albums and organization preserved

  BEAUTIFUL, NATIVE BROWSING
  • Buttery-smooth photo grid — scroll through thousands at 60fps
  • Timeline view: browse by Years, Months, and Days
  • Fluid zoom transitions from thumbnail to full screen
  • Pure SwiftUI — no web views, no compromises

  NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED
  • Uses your existing Apple ID — no separate sign-up
  • No email harvesting, no analytics, no tracking
  • Your photos never touch a third-party server
