Crypta is a private vault that keeps your photos, videos, documents, notes and contacts hidden behind Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN. Anything you move into Crypta disappears from your regular gallery and stays visible only to you. HIDE PHOTOS & VIDEOS Move personal pictures, short clips or full-length videos into a locked, private space. Hidden media is not visible in the Photos app or to anyone browsing your phone. HIDE FILES, NOTES & CONTACTS Secure documents, audio files, private notes and contacts in the same protected vault, organized in folders you control. FACE ID, TOUCH ID & PIN LOCK Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID for speed, or fall back to a PIN or pattern. Face-down auto lock closes the vault instantly when you put your phone down. DECOY VAULT Set up an alternate PIN that opens a second, separate vault. If someone insists on seeing inside, show them the decoy while your real files stay hidden. ALBUM LOCK Add an extra password to individual albums for a second layer of protection on your most sensitive folders. PRIVATE BROWSER Browse and save photos or videos straight into Crypta. Browsing history is cleared when you leave, so nothing is left behind. CLOUD BACKUP & RESTORE Back up your vault to your cloud drive with one tap and restore it on a new device. Never lose hidden files when you change phones. DEVICE MIGRATION Switching phones? Move your entire vault – every file, folder, album lock and setting – to a new iPhone or iPad in a few taps. Nothing is left behind and nothing passes through a third party. WI-FI FILE TRANSFER Move individual files from an old phone, tablet or computer to Crypta by scanning a QR code on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot. No internet data required. BUILT-IN VIEWER View photos, play videos and open documents inside Crypta without ever exposing them to other apps. MORE TOOLS • Recycle bin to restore files deleted by mistake • Sort, list or grid views, rename, move and export • Custom folder cover images • Pin your most-used folders to the top • Light and dark themes with multiple color options • Optimized for iPhone Duo – a layout designed for the inner display, folded or unfolded • Available in English, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Turkish YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Crypta stores your hidden files locally on your device.

WHY PEOPLE SWITCH • Encrypted iCloud backup and one-tap restore on a new iPhone (Pro) • Codes work offline: no signal or Wi-Fi needed • Face ID and Touch ID keep your codes private • Move accounts over in one step from Google Authenticator, other apps or a file • Home Screen widget shows codes without opening the app BACKUP AND RESTORE Your 2FA secrets are encrypted before they leave your device and are stored in your own iCloud. Sign in on a new iPhone and every account comes back. Prefer to keep it yourself? Export an encrypted backup file. END-TO-END ENCRYPTION Codes are encrypted on your device using your iCloud Keychain.
