## What is Silock?

A private place on your iPhone for the photos, videos, and files you don't want in your camera roll.

Everything you add is encrypted on your iPhone before it's saved. No account, no ads, no tracking. Without your unlock, it's unreadable to anyone, including us.

SILOS
Keep things apart in silos you name: one for travel, one for family, one for documents. Move them around, give each a color, or blur a silo's name so people nearby can't read it.

ONE UNLOCK, PLUS AN EXTRA PASSWORD WHERE YOU WANT IT
A pattern, PIN, or password opens Silock, and Face ID can too. Give any silo a password of its own, and even someone who knows your Silock unlock can't open it.

YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE
During setup you get a 12-word recovery phrase. It's the only way back in if you forget your unlock, because we can't see it or reset it.

ENCRYPTED ICLOUD BACKUP
Backups are encrypted on your iPhone first, then stored in your own iCloud. Apple only receives encrypted data. Your recovery phrase brings your silos back on a new iPhone.

ADD FROM ANYWHERE
Import from Photos and Files, or take photos straight into a silo with Silock's own camera, so they never touch your camera roll. View PDFs and text documents right in the app. Turn on Remove Location, and the photos and videos you add from Photos are saved without where they were taken.

QUICK LOCK
Shake your iPhone, or lay it face down, and Silock locks at once. It also locks itself when you leave.

ERASE WHEN YOU NEED TO
Erase everything at once from Settings, or choose to have Silock erase itself after too many wrong tries.

DISGUISE ICONS (PRO)
Make Silock look like a calculator, notes, weather or another everyday app on your Home Screen. It still opens to your own unlock.

FREE AND PRO
Free has no time limit: 2 silos, 50 photos and 5 videos in all. Silock Pro removes every limit and adds disguise icons. Pay once with Lifetime, or month to month.

No ads on any plan. Silock collects no data.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-11-13

Silock is now in Spanish, on iPhones set to Spanish. And new in Settings → Importing: turn on Remove Location, and the photos and videos you add from Photos are saved without where they were taken. Nothing else about them changes.

### 1.2 — 2026-11-11

A new Rate Silock page in Settings, for anyone who'd like to help a small independent app. And if you missed it in 1.1: choose a new look for Silock in Settings → App Icon.

### 1.1 — 2026-11-09

Choose a new look for Silock in Settings → App Icon: three Silock styles, or, with Silock Pro, a disguise that makes it look like an everyday app on your Home Screen. Every icon still opens to your Silock unlock.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-07

No release notes.
