## What is UniVault?

UniAuth Vault keeps private files private: encrypted on your device, and nowhere else.

There is no account to create, no cloud to sync with, and no server to trust. Nothing you store ever leaves the device. The only network traffic the app makes is Apple’s own check of your purchase.

ENCRYPTION THAT HOLDS
• Every file is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it touches disk
• Your passphrase is combined with a key held in the Secure Enclave, so a copy of your vault is inert on any other device
• Face ID or Touch ID releases the device key; your passphrase does the rest
• Repeated wrong guesses are rate limited, and the counter survives a restart

WHAT IT IS FOR
• Photos and videos you would rather not leave in your camera roll
• Passports, statements, contracts, records
• Anything you want to hand over only when you choose to

BUILT FOR REAL USE
• Import from Files or Photos, and delete the originals if you ask it to
• Folders, tags, and a Trash that holds deleted items before they are gone for good
• Search by name or tag, and inside documents and images, with text recognition that runs on device
• Grid or list, whichever suits what you are storing
• Auto-lock after a period you choose, and locking when the app goes to the background

NO RECOVERY, AND WE MEAN IT
If you forget your passphrase, nobody can recover your files. Not us, not Apple. That is the point of it. Export an encrypted backup if you want a way back.

PRIVACY
UniAuth Vault collects nothing. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party code, and no server of ours for your files to sit on.

FREE, AND PRO
Encrypting, unlocking, importing and exporting an encrypted backup are free forever — nothing that protects your files or gets them back is behind a purchase. Pro is a single one-time unlock, covering Mac, iPhone and iPad on one Apple Account, and it adds unlimited items, search inside documents and images, and tags.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-05

Fixes the Settings route into UniVault Pro. "View UniVault Pro..." and the switches under Settings > Search set out to open the purchase screen and opened nothing at all — no sheet, no error. They work now.

If you looked for the purchase in Settings and found a button that did nothing, that was this, and it was not you.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

Fixes a crash when importing photos or videos from your library with "Remove originals after importing" turned on. The import finished, then the app closed as it went to remove the originals from Photos. Your files were never at risk — they were already encrypted in the vault before that step ran.

Also: an import no longer waits indefinitely on a photo that has to come down from iCloud first.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-01

No release notes.
