IceVault

Design your own private database. A database for everything you’d never put in the cloud. IceVault is an encrypted, local-only database that lets you design the structure yourself. Create databases for bank accounts, reading logs, business cards, warranties, Wi-Fi and more. Define fields in a “template” — text, dates, money, photos, ratings, choices and more — and it becomes your form and data structure. Pin a template to a folder for a purpose-built workspace BUILD YOUR OWN STRUCTURE * 63 field types: text, number, date, duration, measurement, auto number, checklist, contact card, signature, recovery codes, money, rating, weather, photo, video, audio, barcode, choices, address, email, phone, URL, social handles, links, files, formulas and more * 12 field attributes: required, encrypted, searchable, auto-tag, show in list, unique, Markdown, per-item currency and more * Layout presets: cards, timelines, spec sheets, photo galleries and spreadsheet grid. Preview with sample values while you edit; choose how spec-sheet fields look * Formula fields calculate on-device from number and money fields, such as quantity × unit price, and can even use a value from a linked item * Link items and see incoming links under “Referenced By” * Draft templates with AI, on-device with Apple Intelligence * Edit templates any time — existing records update to match KEEP THINGS SAFE * Master password with Face ID / Touch ID unlock * Per-field AES-GCM encryption for passwords, PINs, card numbers and more * Videos and audio are encrypted too, and play without leaving an unencrypted copy * Keys are derived from your master password and never stored * iOS Data Protection on every database PUT THINGS IN * Camera capture and document scanning * Attach files up to 50 MB and preview them in place * Keep a short video (3 min) or audio (30 min) with an item * QR code and barcode scanning, live or from a photo. Show saved barcodes full screen at checkout * TOTP two-factor codes from otpauth:// links * CSV import that builds a template from the header row * On-device writing assistance with Apple Intelligence — your text never leaves the device FIND IT AGAIN * Full-text search across every folder * Manual and automatic tags; filters that combine keywords and choices USE YOUR DATA * Save links, text, photos, files and Apple Maps places from the share sheet into an inbox, then file them later * Open or lock IceVault, or send to the inbox, from Control Center and Shortcuts — what you stored is never shown * Get on-device reminders before renewals or expiries, or an alert when you arrive at a saved place — your location never leaves the device * Sum, average and count spreadsheet rows; chart columns as bars, lines, areas, points or a donut HAND IT OVER * Each folder is a single document, images included * Encrypted .icevaultarchive files for full backups * Share a folder with family, friends or groups using a one-time password * Distribute a folder to many people: read-only for them, not counted toward their free limit of 3 folders, and you can send updates * Share templates alone, without your data * Export spreadsheet folders to CSV for Excel or Numbers PRIVATE BY DESIGN * No account, sign-up or email address * No cloud. IceVault makes no network connections * No ads, analytics or tracking SDKs. No usage data is collected IMPORTANT If you forget your master password, encrypted fields cannot be recovered — not by anyone, including the developer. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UNLOCK Every feature is free: all field types, encryption, search, writing assistance, import and export. The free version supports up to 3 folders; a one-time purchase of IceVault Pro removes that limit. No subscription. No account. COMES WITH 27 TEMPLATES Bank Account, Credit Card, Insurance Policy, Online Account, Wi-Fi, Business Card, Book, Film, Wine, Whisky, Vehicle, Purchase & Warranty, Trip Booking and more.
