Parachute Backup Mobile vs Kryptos

Parachute is your backup companion for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up your memories — photos, videos, and documents — to storage you control, whether that’s an external drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 Buckets, network drives/NAS, external hard drives and more. With Parachute, you get peace of mind and full ownership of your data, free from lock-in. Your Data, Your Way • Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive. • Preserve originals in full resolution, all adjustment data, and the current edited versions. • Works with USB drives, NAS/SMB/SFTP mounts, Google Drive, S3 Buckets, OneDrive, external hard drives and more Key Features • Backups can be triggered from the main screen to any of your backup destinations • Automate backups with Shortcuts integration and Schedules • Privacy-first: transfers handled via Apple’s Files extensions — your credentials never touch our app. • Supports full-quality media: Live Photos + videos, RAW images, bursts, edits, and slow motion. Why It Matters • iCloud sync ≠ backup — deletions, expired storage, or sync errors can mean permanent loss. • Parachute safeguards your digital life from accidents and disasters. • Your files are stored in normal folders you can browse and restore from directly — no special tools needed. One time purchase. No Lock-In. • One-time purchase unlocks all backup functionality — no recurring fees. • Your data stays in your storage, not ours. • No accounts, no telemetry, no background bloat.

Kryptos is a zero-knowledge personal vault for your most sensitive documents - passports, ID cards, driver's licences, payment cards, API keys, and private notes. Everything is encrypted on your device with AES-GCM (256-bit). We never see your data, and we can't. ZERO-KNOWLEDGE BY DESIGN Your vault is sealed with AES-256-GCM using Apple's CryptoKit. The encryption key is stored in the iOS Keychain with kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly - it never leaves your device. There is no Kryptos server holding your secrets. Even cloud backups upload only opaque, encrypted bytes. SMART DOCUMENT SCANNING Snap a passport, a driver's licence, an ID card, or a payment card. On-device VisionKit and Live Text extract the fields automatically. Camera frames never leave your iPhone. QR CODE CAPTURE AND REGENERATION Point the camera at any QR code to import its contents. Kryptos can regenerate the same QR from the saved entry whenever you need it. CROSS-DEVICE SHARING - FULLY OFFLINE Share any entry with someone else's Kryptos app by showing a QR code on screen. They scan it from their device and the entry imports instantly with the right category, title, and fields. Nothing touches the network - sharing happens completely offline, screen-to-screen. BEAUTIFUL HERO CARDS Each document type gets its own purpose-built card UI - passports, driver's licences, credit cards, IDs, notes, API keys, tax numbers - with a scanned attachment rendered as the card itself. EXPIRY REMINDERS Add an Expiry field to any entry and Kryptos sends a local notification 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before it expires. All scheduled offline through local notifications - no cloud dependency. FACE ID AND TOUCH ID UNLOCK Lock your vault behind biometric authentication backed by the Secure Enclave. ENCRYPTED CLOUD BACKUP Auto-backup your encrypted vault to your choice of iCloud (private CloudKit database) or your own Google Drive: - Free: hidden Drive AppData folder - Pro: a visible "KryptosBackups" folder, easier to manage and copy off-device Neither iCloud nor Google Drive can decrypt the backup. Only your device can. MULTI-ACCOUNT ISOLATION Each signed-in account (Sign in with Apple or Google) gets its own fully isolated, separately encrypted vault. Switch accounts without entries leaking between them. PRICING - SIMPLE AND FAIR - Free: store up to 10 entries, full features, no ads. - Kryptos Pro: $1.99 one-time. Unlimited entries, visible Drive backup, priority support, and all future Pro features included. No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Pay once, own it forever. WHY KRYPTOS Most "secure" vaults are convenient because they hold your data on someone else's server. Kryptos picks the harder path: your data stays on your device, encrypted with a key only you control. The trade-off is that we can never reset your vault for you - but it also means no breach, leak, or subpoena exposes your secrets. PERMISSIONS WE REQUEST - Camera: to scan documents and QR codes (on-device only) - Face ID or Touch ID: to unlock your vault - Notifications: for expiry reminders - Internet: only for Sign in with Apple or Google, iCloud sync, Drive backup, and App Store purchase verification WHAT WE DO NOT DO - Run a server that stores your vault contents - Show ads or embed advertising SDKs - Sell, share, or analyse your data - Hold a copy of your encryption key Privacy policy: https://kryptos.faizalmzain.com/privacy Terms and FAQ: https://kryptos.faizalmzain.com/faq
