## What is Vaulted?

Vaulted is the photo vault for people who actually care about privacy. Every photo and video is encrypted on your device with AES-256 before it ever touches storage — no account, no tracking, no servers of ours. Not even we can see your photos.

Most "vault" apps just hide your photos behind a PIN while uploading who-knows-what to who-knows-where. Vaulted is different by design: your passcode never leaves your phone, your media is never stored unencrypted, and the app contains zero third-party code, zero analytics, and zero ads.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• True encryption, not just hiding — AES-256-GCM with a unique key per file
• No account, no sign-up, no email. Ever.
• No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
• Face ID / Touch ID unlock
• Photos stay hidden from your camera roll, search, and widgets
• Escalating lockout stops passcode guessing, just like your iPhone

EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A VAULT
• Import photos, videos, and Live Photos — or capture straight into the vault
• Organize with albums; favorites; fast, smooth browsing
• Full-screen viewer with zoom, filmstrip, and hold-to-play Live Photos
• Export or share anything back out whenever you choose
• Optionally delete originals from your photo library after import

DISAPPEAR IN PLAIN SIGHT (PRO)
• Calculator disguise — your lock screen is a real, working calculator; only your passcode opens the vault
• Decoy vault — a second passcode opens a completely separate, believable vault
• Disguised app icons
• Break-in reports — see every failed unlock attempt
• Face-down lock — flip your phone, vault locks

ENCRYPTED BACKUP YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST (PRO)
• End-to-end encrypted backup to your personal iCloud
• Only ciphertext leaves your device — we couldn't read your backup if we wanted to
• A one-time recovery code is the only key: restore on a new phone even if you forget your passcode
• Important: we can't reset your passcode or regenerate your recovery code. Only you can access your vault — that's the point.

FREE VS PRO
Free: 50 photos, 1 album, full encryption and Face ID.
Vaulted Pro ($19.99/year, 7-day free trial): unlimited photos and videos, unlimited albums, calculator disguise, decoy vault, disguised icons, break-in reports, face-down lock, and encrypted iCloud backup.
