## What is Sealby?

Sealby is a private, local-first encrypted vault for your photos, videos, documents and notes. Everything is encrypted on your device with AES-256 - there is no account, no server, and no backdoor. What syncs to iCloud is an unreadable blob that only you can open. Not even we can read your data.

A DIFFERENT PIN OPENS A DIFFERENT VAULT
Sealby doesn't have one vault behind one password. Every PIN opens its own independent vault - an everyday vault, a work vault, a private vault. There is no shared vault list and no master view: each vault belongs to the PIN that opens it and stays out of sight of every other.

• A different PIN opens a different vault
• Separate spaces for separate parts of your life
• No vault list - each vault is visible only to its own PIN

WHAT YOU CAN KEEP IN IT
• Photos and videos - encrypted on import
• Documents, PDFs, scans and any file type
• Real rich-text notes - journals, ideas, important details
• Folders, tags and search inside every vault

SERIOUS CRYPTOGRAPHY, HONESTLY EXPLAINED
• AES-256-GCM encryption with a separate key for every file
• Keys protected by the Secure Enclave, unlocked by your PIN, pattern or passphrase
• No account and no sign-up - nothing to phish, reset or breach
• iCloud only ever stores an unreadable encrypted blob
• Each vault has its own recovery phrase, held by you and only you

Because there is no backdoor, there is also no "forgot password" reset. If you lose both your PIN and a vault's recovery phrase, that vault cannot be recovered - by anyone. That is the trade-off that makes Sealby unreadable to everyone but you.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free is free for good: private vaults, every file type, notes, folders, tags and search - on one device, up to 100 files per vault.
Premium removes the cap and adds encrypted backup, sync between your iPhone and iPad, and vault sharing. Pay once for lifetime access, or choose a monthly or yearly plan.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Sealby collects no data. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. The app works entirely on your device.

Built for iPhone and iPad (iOS and iPadOS 17 or later).
