## What is SafeYou?

Forced to unlock your phone? With SafeYou's decoy code, you reveal nothing. A second believable vault opens while your real photos, videos, notes and chats stay completely hidden.

TWO CODES. TWO WORLDS. TOTAL PROTECTION.
Set a real passcode and a separate decoy code. Your real code unlocks your true vault. Your decoy code opens a different, harmless vault you've prepared in advance. At a border, in a controlling relationship, at work, or if your phone is taken — give the decoy code and reveal absolutely nothing. Even forensic tools can't tell the second vault exists.

EVERYTHING LOCKED IN ONE PRIVATE VAULT
• Photos and videos — a hidden gallery with full-screen viewer, swipe navigation and video playback
• Files — documents, PDFs, archives, any file type
• Encrypted notes — a secret diary, sensitive memos, passwords
• Bulk import from your gallery with automatic duplicate detection

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED CHAT
• Private 1-on-1 chats and group conversations via invite codes
• Send photos, videos, voice messages, files, contacts and live location — all encrypted
• Messages auto-delete after 24 hours by default
• QR-code invites, block users, kick members, read-only mode for groups
• Save chat media straight into your private vault

ENCRYPTED CLOUD BACKUP
Sync your vault between iPhone and iPad. Your data is encrypted on your device before it leaves — even we can never read it. Sign in with Apple or Google.

MILITARY-GRADE SECURITY
• AES-256 encryption — the standard trusted by banks and governments
• Screenshot protection — your vault stays out of screen recordings
• Auto-lock when the app goes to the background
• Lockout escalation after wrong attempts (1 min → 24 h)

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
No ads. No analytics on your content. Your data lives on your device — local-first, cloud-optional.

Privacy. Discretion. Security. SafeYou.
