Hide private photos and videos behind a passcode or Face ID. PRAM keeps everything stored only on this device: nothing is uploaded, and there are no ads. Someone asks to see your phone? Enter your decoy password and a completely separate decoy space opens instead. Wrong password? Break-in Alerts catch the person on camera. ■ Hide photos and videos • Keep photos, videos, Live Photos and GIFs in private albums and video folders, organized your way • Unlock with a 6-digit passcode or Face ID • Imported photos and videos keep their original capture date • After importing, choose to delete the originals from the Photos app • Export original files back to the Photos app ■ Decoy password Set a second password that opens a separate decoy space. Your private content never appears there, so you can open the app for anyone without giving anything away. ■ Break-in Alerts When someone enters a wrong password, the front camera takes a photo and records the time and the password entered. After you unlock, PRAM lets you know that someone tried to get in. Viewing intruder photos requires Pro; the time and password entered are always visible. ■ Private browser & Collect images Browse with tabs and bookmarks in the built-in private browser. Tap Collect images to gather every image on a web page, then save the ones you pick straight to an album, without going through the Photos app. ■ Encrypted backup & restore Back up the albums you choose to AES-256 encrypted ZIP files and restore them later, for example on a new phone. ■ Privacy first • Stored only on this device; nothing is uploaded • No account to create and no ads • Auto-locks as soon as you leave the app • Shake to lock ■ Make it yours • Alternate app icons keep PRAM low-key on your Home Screen (Pro) • Light and dark mode • 13 languages, switchable right in the app ■ PRAM Pro Pro adds unlimited photos and videos, unlimited albums and video folders, viewing intruder photos, alternate app icons, hiding small web images and switching between desktop and mobile web pages. The decoy space, Face ID, Break-in Alerts and shake to lock all work without Pro. Some features require PRAM Pro (in-app purchase).
