About
Keep your private photos, videos and documents hidden, locked and encrypted in your vault. Encrypted on your iPhone, and even the Vault9 team can't open it. No account required.
LOCK IT WITH YOUR OWN PATTERN
• Open your vault with your own pattern on a 6 × 6 grid, or with a passphrase.
• Your iPhone passcode never opens the vault. Your iPhone is open, your photos stay locked.
• Face ID is optional and off by default. After 3 days, the app asks for your pattern or passphrase again.
A REAL PHOTO APP
• Import photos and videos from Photos, and documents from Files. Vault9 needs no access to your Photos library and never changes anything in it.
• Take photos and videos with the Vault9 camera. They go straight into the vault, never into Photos, and hold no location.
• Albums, select many items at once, swipe and zoom. Large videos play straight from the vault.
• The vault locks when you leave the app, and after a time without a touch. The app switcher shows only the Vault9 logo, not your photos.
NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS.
• No Vault9 account, no email, no sign-up.
• We never receive your photos, your pattern or your keys. We cannot open your vault, and we cannot reset your pattern.
BACKED UP TO YOUR OWN ICLOUD
• Your vault is backed up to your own iCloud storage.
• New iPhone? Scan your Emergency Kit once, enter your pattern, and your vault comes back from the iCloud backup.
YOUR WAY BACK IS ON PAPER
• The Emergency Kit is one page with your Secret Key and a QR code. Save it or print it, and keep it like a passport.
• The kit test checks that your kit still matches your vault.
HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS
• Keep the iCloud backup on. Deleting the app deletes the vault on your iPhone. The iCloud backup is the only copy outside your iPhone.
• We cannot recover a forgotten pattern or passphrase. Write it on your Emergency Kit.
• Lose one (your iPhone, your kit or your pattern), and there is usually a way back. Lose two, and your photos may be gone for good.
• Vault9 does not protect you from someone who has your unlocked vault in their hands, or from malware on your iPhone.
FREE, OR VAULT9 PRO
• Free: up to 50 items. No ads.
• Vault9 Pro removes the 50-item limit and changes nothing else. Choose Weekly, Yearly (with a 7-day free trial) or Lifetime (one-time purchase).
• Without Vault9 Pro, also after a subscription ends, you can still open, export and delete all your items.
• Weekly and Yearly renew automatically. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your Apple Account settings.
HOW IT IS PROTECTED
Everything in the vault is encrypted on your iPhone before it is stored (AES-256-GCM, a separate key for each file). Your iPhone keeps a Secret Key for you, and a copy of the vault, like the iCloud backup, does not contain it.
