Vaultify is a private photo vault and password manager that keeps everything safe — a fully offline, on-device encrypted vault protecting your photos, videos, files, notes and passwords with real AES-256-GCM encryption. **Why Vaultify?** - Real encryption, not just hiding: Every photo, video and file is encrypted individually with AES-256-GCM. Keys are stored in the Secure Enclave (Keychain / Keystore). What stays on disk is ciphertext only. - 100% local & offline: No servers, no account, no sign-up. Your data never leaves your device — no uploads, no syncing, no data collection, and no ads. - Decoy vault anti-coercion: Set a decoy PIN. When forced to unlock, enter it to open a separate decoy vault that looks exactly like the real one but only contains fake data you prepared. Your real data stays fully isolated. - All-in-one vault: Photos, videos, files, notes and passwords in a single app. - Password guard: Built-in strong password generator, clipboard auto-clears 30 seconds after copying, password strength indicator. - Auto-lock: Locks instantly when you leave the app. 3 failed attempts lock the vault for 1 hour to block brute-force attacks. - Native preview & share: Instantly preview PDF, Word, Excel and more, then export or share with one tap. All data is stored locally on your device only. Please remember your PIN — there is no way to recover it.
