## What is Vaultio?

Ever lost your private photos when switching phones? Or found them locked behind a paywall in the very app that promised to protect them? Vaultio was built to fix exactly that.

Vaultio hides your private photos and videos behind a PIN and Face ID — and never loses them. Your files are encrypted and stored in YOUR personal iCloud. Switch phones, reinstall the app — sign in on the new device and everything is still there. We have no servers of our own and no access to your files.

WHY VAULTIO IS DIFFERENT

• Your files survive a phone change. They live in your own iCloud, synced automatically and for free.
• Export is always free. Your photos are never held hostage behind a subscription.
• Forgot your PIN? Recover it with Face ID — without losing a single file.
• No ads. Ever. Not in the free version, not anywhere.
• Videos play properly: full screen, with sound, with zoom.

WHAT YOU GET

• PIN pad + Face ID lock for instant, secure access
• Import photos and videos from your library in one tap — then remove the originals from Photos
• Organize everything into albums with covers
• Full-screen viewer with zoom and swipe navigation
• Video playback with sound
• Export back to Photos or share — free, always
• Per-file encryption; keys stored in your iCloud Keychain

PRIVACY FIRST

Vaultio has no accounts, no email sign-up and no third-party analytics. Your data is not collected — the App Store privacy label says exactly that. Storage and sync are handled entirely by Apple's iCloud on your own account.

FREE AND PREMIUM

Vaultio is free for up to 100 files, with every feature included and no ads. Premium unlocks unlimited files and multiple albums — as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Exact prices are shown in the app before you pay.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account, and you can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings at any time. Restore Purchases always works.

Your photos. Your iCloud. Your business — Vaultio just keeps it that way.

### How often is Vaultio updated?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-11

iCloud sync works now.

Earlier builds went out without the iCloud permission itself, so the app reported sync as unavailable no matter what you tried. That was our mistake, and it is fixed: your encrypted files reach your own iCloud again.

• Setup now hides your first photo straight away — about thirty seconds from launch
• Disguise the app on your home screen as a calculator, notes, weather, a clock and more (Premium)
• Swipe down to close a photo
• Every screen properly translated in all supported languages

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-10

iCloud storage now works. If the iCloud switch did nothing before, it was our fault — this build fixes it. Turn it on in Settings and your vault syncs across your devices.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-04

• A quick, friendly setup that tailors Vaultio to what you most want to protect.
• Polish and stability improvements throughout.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-30

Improved reliability when your vault loads from iCloud.

If iCloud is slow to respond, Vaultio now waits longer for it instead of showing an incomplete vault, and it keeps a spare copy of your vault's contents list as a safeguard. If your photos can't be loaded right away, you'll see a retry screen rather than an empty vault.

Thanks for using Vaultio.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-21

Fixed an issue where a slow iCloud connection could make your vault look empty. Your files were never deleted — the app had lost track of them. It now waits for iCloud to answer before deciding anything, keeps a spare copy of your vault's contents list, and offers a retry instead of showing an empty vault.
