ENCRYPT WITHOUT TRUSTING ANYONE. Age Vault is a modern, on-device encryption app for iOS. It implements the open age specification β the same cryptography used by security professionals as a simpler, more auditable alternative to PGP. No servers. No accounts. No analytics. Your private key is generated on your iPhone and never leaves it. β WHAT YOU CAN DO β β’ Generate an X25519 keypair, locked behind Face ID β’ Encrypt text messages to anyone whose public key you have β’ Decrypt messages sent to you with a tap β’ Save recipient public keys as named contacts β’ Encrypt files β photos, documents, archives, anything β’ Send the same encrypted payload to multiple recipients at once β’ Export and back up your keypair through the iOS Share Sheet β HOW IT WORKS β Age Vault uses the open age encryption format: β’ X25519 elliptic-curve key exchange β’ ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated stream encryption β’ HKDF-SHA256 key derivation Encrypted output is the standard age format, interoperable with the reference age CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows. You are not locked into our app. β PRIVACY POSTURE β β’ Zero data collection. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporting off-device, no advertising IDs. β’ No backend. The app has no server it talks to. β’ Keys live in the iOS Keychain. We have no copy and no recovery β by design. β’ Face ID authentication is handled by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. Your biometric data never enters our code. β’ In-app purchase is processed by Apple's StoreKit. We see only a confirmation that a valid purchase exists. Full privacy policy: https://dolucid.com/age-vault/privacy.html β FREE vs. PREMIUM β The free tier is fully usable for encrypted messaging: β’ Generate keypair β’ Encrypt and decrypt text messages β’ View your public key A one-time $2.99 unlock adds: β’ File encryption (any file type) β’ Contacts vault β save recipient keys with names β’ Multi-recipient encryption β encrypt once, share with many No subscription. No recurring billing. One purchase, yours forever, restorable on any device signed into your Apple ID. β WHY AGE? β PGP is powerful but notoriously difficult β long key IDs, web-of-trust ceremony, dozens of legacy options that hide footguns. Age was designed by security researchers as a modern replacement: small key format, no configuration, no algorithm choices to get wrong. β OPEN SPECIFICATION β The age format is published, peer-reviewed, and implemented in multiple languages. Anything Age Vault encrypts can be decrypted by the reference age tool on a desktop. You own your data and your encryption keys, in a portable format.
