Secure Gallery โ Private Vault for Photos & Videos One-time small price. No subscriptions. No ads. Regular updates. Unlike most secure photo vaults that require monthly subscriptions or upload your private photos to their own cloud servers, Secure Gallery works completely offline and privately through your personal iCloud only โ where you stay 100% in control. Private by Design โ Your photos and videos are stored only in your personal iCloud. They never appear in the Files app or anywhere else, keeping everything discreet and protected. Password Protection โ Lock the app with your personal passcode. If you forget your password, there is no recovery option โ for your security. Panic Protection (Full Wipe or Reset Only) โ In emergencies, you can now choose between a Full Wipe (permanently deletes all data and backups) or Reset Only (clears the app but keeps your iCloud backups). After a Reset Only, you can restore your latest iCloud backup anytime from the Storage Settings. Encrypted iCloud Backups โ Create secure backups directly in your iCloud container. Older backups are automatically replaced to keep your data current and protected. Import & Export โ Easily transfer folders between iPhone and iPad, or safely import from another device. Imported files are automatically removed afterward for privacy. Folders & Subfolders โ Organize your private gallery exactly the way you like, with nested folders for full control. Restore to Photos โ Move selected media back to your Photos app at any time. Light or Dark Mode โ Choose your look, or follow the system appearance automatically. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. Everything stays private โ only on your devices and in your personal iCloud.
