## What is Vault?

Vault brings native archive management to iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Browse and extract
- Explore folders inside an archive and preview documents, images, audio and video supported by the system.
- Extract an entire archive, selected items or a single file, then revisit recent extraction results.
- Read ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, gzip, bzip2, XZ, Apple Archive and other supported formats.
- On iPad, your recent archives stay on the left while the one you open fills the right. Hide the sidebar for more room, or narrow the window and it becomes a single column without losing your place.

Collect, then compress
- On Mac, drag files from different folders into the Vault window whenever you like. They gather into a pile that fans out when you hover over it, ready to compress into one new archive.
- On iPhone and iPad, drag files in from Photos, Messages, Files and other apps. They wait in New Archive until you're ready to compress them.

Create and protect
- Create ZIP, 7z and Apple Archives.
- Add password protection. 7z can hide filenames; encrypted Apple Archives protect the entire archive, including its file list.
- Save archive passwords you choose to remember in the system Keychain.

Work with your system
- Mount supported unencrypted archives as read-only locations in Files or Finder.
- Use English or Simplified Chinese with your system language.
- Process files locally, without creating a Vault account.

Preview support varies by file type and operating system. RAR is read-only; encrypted RAR is unsupported. Mounting does not support encrypted or solid archives.
