Read full descriptionHide full description
MiVaulty is a privacy-first encrypted vault for your most sensitive notes, passwords, and images. Every note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it ever touches your device's storage. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics, and no tracking. The only way in is your face or your finger. SECURE BY DESIGN - AES-256-GCM encryption with per-note unique IVs - Keys stored in the iOS Secure Enclave - Zero network entitlements — the app cannot connect to the internet - Plaintext wiped from memory the moment the app goes to background - Optional vault wipe after failed authentication attempts - iCloud backup excluded by default 14 BUILT-IN TEMPLATES Credential, Wi-Fi, Website Login, PIN Code, Bank Account, Crypto Wallet, Server/Host, Network Config, API Token, Software License, Medical Info, Identity Document, Insurance Policy, and General Secure Note — each with structured fields and secure masking. ENCRYPTED IMAGE VAULT Store photos of documents, cards, and credentials in a standalone encrypted gallery. Add captions, browse full-screen with pinch-to-zoom, and export encrypted or save to Photos. MARKDOWN NOTES Full markdown support: headings, bold, italic, code blocks, checklists, bullet lists, and blockquotes. Live preview with configurable font size. PASSWORD GENERATOR Generate secure passwords from 8 to 64 characters with customizable character sets, entropy-based strength meter, and one-tap copy or insert into notes. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY 11 built-in tags plus custom tags with color coding. Pin important notes, archive others, search across everything including trash. Sort by date modified, date created, or title. SHARE SECURELY Export individual notes or bulk selections as encrypted .vaultnote files. Recipients open them in MiVaulty with a passphrase you communicate separately. Or export as plaintext Markdown when you need it. TRASH WITH RECOVERY Accidentally deleted something? Recover from trash within 30 days. Permanent delete when you're sure. NO THIRD-PARTY CODE Built entirely with Apple's native frameworks. Zero third-party SDKs, libraries, or dependencies. No Firebase. No analytics. No ads. Nothing but your data, locked down tight. Your notes. Your device. Nobody else.
