Protect your most sensitive photos, videos, and files with strong, on-device encryption. Infinity Vaults brings together an encrypted vault, a private web browser and camera, and a fully on-device AI assistant. Your files AND your AI never leave your phone. Only you have access. UNMATCHED SECURITY & PRIVACY • Secure "Vaults": Protect your data in one or more separate vaults. Create a vault for your personal data, your work data, or even a decoy for prying eyes. • Keychains: Protect each vault with a unique PIN, pattern, password, or 2FA OTP, and add Face ID and/or geofence lock—presented each time the app opens. Combine multiple layers for maximum protection, with brute-force prevention built in. • Break-In Alerts: Capture a photo, timestamp, and location of anyone attempting unauthorized access. • AES-256 Encryption: Each vault has its own unique key you can rotate or export, locked to a passphrase only you control. • Server-less by Default: Infinity Vaults keeps all your data on your device—nothing is uploaded to a server you don't control. Optionally create Cloud Vaults and connect your own Google Drive or Dropbox to store files as encrypted data on servers you trust. We can't see your data, and neither can your cloud provider. PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE AI • AI Assistant: Chat, summarize your documents and web pages, and generate images—processed entirely on your iPhone/iPad. No account required, nothing sent to a server. • Optional Cloud Models: Connect OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic for extra power when you want it—clearly labeled and off by default. • Image Tools: Upscale images, optimize file sizes, auto-tag photos, and find duplicates. SMART STORAGE & ORGANIZATION • Folders: Organize media and files like on a desktop with custom folders (including nested folders and drag-and-drop) and optional extra password protection. • Powerful Search & Filters: Filter by type, keywords, tags, or dates, and sort by name, date, size, and more. PRIVATE BROWSING, APP LOCKER & SECURE CAMERA • Private Browser: Browse securely, download photos and videos, save pages as PDFs, or take screenshots. Add Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) to the home screen for quick access. Over 40,000 trackers blocked. • App Locker: Keep favorite services off your iPhone's home screen and behind your vault instead—66 web apps are included, spanning AI tools, social networks, secure file sharing, and more. • Discreet Camera: Capture photos and videos directly into a secure Vault, with full zoom and exposure controls. No more media left unprotected. EVERYDAY PROTECTION BEYOND FILES • Password Manager: Store and autofill passwords securely. • Cards, Contacts & Notes: Keep financial info, contacts, notes, and reminders protected. • Audio and Podcasts YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Unlike apps that rely on external backups, Infinity Vaults is built for privacy by default—offline first, uploading only when, where, and how you choose. Back up through standard iPhone backups or the app's built-in local backup and export tools.
