File->Save is a private, encrypted vault for your photos, videos and documents, wrapped in a retro terminal interface that makes protecting your files feel like being the hacker in a heist movie. NO CLOUD. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. Everything is encrypted and stored on your device only. There is no server, no sync, no analytics peeking at your files. Your password never leaves your head; your keys never leave your phone. SERIOUS ENCRYPTION * ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption for every file * A random 256-bit master key, wrapped with your password (PBKDF2, 210,000 rounds) * Even file NAMES are encrypted on disk * No password hash is stored. The math itself is the lock. * Change your password instantly, without re-encrypting your vault BUILT FOR REAL PRIVACY * Decoy vault: a second password opens a completely separate vault, and no one can tell it exists (Premium) * Panic actions: shake or tap to lock instantly, wiping keys from memory * Auto-lock the moment you leave the app, or after 5 minutes * Offline-only mode: the vault refuses to open while any network is connected (Premium) * Password-protect individual folders (Premium) YOUR FILES, UNTOUCHED * Imports are byte-for-byte: original quality, original file names, EXIF and capture dates preserved. No recompression, ever. * Sort and filter each folder your way; every folder remembers its own order * Built-in viewer for photos, videos, audio, PDFs and documents * Scan paper documents straight into encryption, never into the camera roll (Premium) ENCRYPTED BACKUPS * Export a fully encrypted backup and restore it on any device with just your backup password * Backups preserve folder structure, names, dates and metadata * Your backup password is the only key. Even we can't open it. A VAULT WITH CHARACTER Green-on-black terminal interface, typed animations, a built-in command line, and maybe a hidden game or two for those who explore. FREE & PREMIUM The core vault is free. Premium unlocks unlimited files, the decoy vault, offline-only mode, folder passwords and the document scanner: monthly, yearly, or a single lifetime purchase. IMPORTANT There is no password recovery. That is the point: no backdoor exists, for anyone. Choose a password you'll remember, and export encrypted backups regularly. Your files. Actually private.
