GazeVault

Protect your private photos with the only lock that works as fast as you can blink. GazeVault is not just another calculator vault. It is a biometric fortress powered by Apple’s advanced TrueDepth technology. Most photo vaults have a weakness: once they are open, anyone can see them. GazeVault solves this. Using real-time gaze tracking, the app knows exactly when you are looking at the screen. The moment you glance away, look over your shoulder, or put your phone down, your content vanishes instantly. It is privacy that feels like magic. For Your Eyes Only. CORE FEATURES Gaze Lock (The Magic) Your photos are only visible when you make direct eye contact with the screen. If you look away, the screen blurs immediately. No buttons to press, no phone to flip. Just look away, and your secrets are safe. Intruder Alert Advanced facial detection scans the background constantly. If a second face is detected (like someone looking over your shoulder), GazeVault triggers a "Red Alert" mode, hiding all content instantly. Stealth Mode Hide the app in plain sight. Change the app icon to look like a fully functional Calculator, Weather App, or Notes App. Only you will know it’s there. Zero-Knowledge Privacy We believe your data belongs to you. GazeVault works 100% offline. No Cloud Uploads. No Accounts Required. Biometric data is processed locally on your device's Neural Engine and never saved. GazeVault PRO Upgrade to Pro for the ultimate security experience: Unlimited Storage: Secure as many photos as you want. Stealth App Icons: Access the full library of disguises (Calculator, Weather, etc.). Priority Support: Get help when you need it. Privacy Policy: https://gazevault.com/privacyTerms of Use: https://gazevault.com/terms Note: This app requires a device with FaceID (iPhone X or newer) to support TrueDepth gaze tracking.
