## What is Sealed?

Sealed is an encrypted vault for your iPhone. Photos, videos, documents and any other file you add are encrypted on your phone before they're saved, and only your passphrase can open them.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
There's no account, no sign-in and no server. Your files are never uploaded, and the vault is kept out of iCloud backups. Because we never have your files, your passphrase or your keys, we can't open, read or hand over anything you keep in Sealed.

STRONG, MODERN ENCRYPTION
Every file is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305, and your passphrase is protected with Argon2id, a password-hashing method designed to make guessing slow and expensive. File names and folder names are encrypted too.

KEEP ANYTHING
• Add photos and videos from your library, take photos straight into the vault, or import any file from the Files app.
• Optionally remove the originals from your photo library once they're safely encrypted.
• Organise files into folders, search by name, rename and move them.
• See your photos, videos and PDFs as a grid of previews, and swipe through them. Previews are encrypted too.
• Export one file, a selection, or a whole folder at once through the share sheet when you need to send something.
• Save passcodes, PINs and logins, with a strong-password generator. Copied passwords stay on this iPhone and clear from the clipboard after a minute.
• Write private notes that save as you type.
• Keep private contacts out of your Contacts app, or import them and delete the originals.
• Record videos straight into the vault, never touching your camera roll.
• Scan paper documents into a PDF with the document camera. Pages go straight into the vault, never into Photos.

YOUR WAY BACK IN
• A printable 24-word recovery key, if you want one. Store it somewhere safe and offline.
• Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, if you turn it on.
• There's no reset button: if you lose both your passphrase and your recovery key, your files can't be recovered by anyone. That's the point.

PROTECTION BUILT IN
• Auto-lock when you leave the app, immediately or after a delay you choose.
• Sealed is hidden in the app switcher.
• A growing wait after repeated wrong passphrases stops quick guessing.
• Erase all destroys your keys and every file in one step.

PROTECT IT FURTHER
• Encrypted backup file: save your whole vault to Files, iCloud Drive or a computer and restore it on any iPhone with a backup password.
• Second vault: a decoy that opens with a different passphrase, or its own unlock pattern. The lock screen never shows there are two.
• Duress mode: make the second vault erase your main vault the moment it is opened.
• Disguise icon: switch Sealed's home-screen icon to a calculator, notepad, weather or checklist.
• Unlock pattern: draw a pattern on a 4×4 grid instead of typing your passphrase. Your decoy vault can have its own.
• Screenshot blocking: screenshots and screen recordings of Sealed come out black (on by default).
• Storage saver: keep photos and videos smaller to save space.
