GeoLocker: Location-Locked Encrypted Vaults Keep your private notes, photos, video, audio and files in encrypted vaults that are tied to real places. Most apps protect your data with a password you can be forced to hand over. GeoLocker ties it to locations only you know, and for the things that matter most, it can hide that the vault is even there. **Two kinds of vaults** Biometric vaults Every vault gets its own key inside your iPhone's Secure Enclave and opens with Face ID or Touch ID. Put a vault at a place that means something to you, like your home, a park bench or your desk. Open it by going there, or by finding the spot on the map. Hidden vaults (plausible deniability) A hidden vault needs two things to open: the right secret location and a passphrase. Both are built into the encryption key. Get either one wrong and nothing happens. It looks exactly the same as an empty spot with no vault at all. GeoLocker never shows how many hidden vaults you have, or whether you have any. There are no names, no counts and nothing left in plain text. If someone ever forces you to open a vault, you can give up a decoy while your real vaults stay invisible. You can even set the decoy vault to destroy the other vaults. **What you can store** Notes, photos, video, audio recordings and file attachments. Make as many vaults as you want, each at its own place. If one is ever found, the rest stay locked. **Security and privacy** • AES-256-GCM encryption, with a separate Secure Enclave key for every vault • Argon2id key derivation for hidden vaults • Your data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no servers • The app locks itself the moment it goes to the background • Optional protection against screenshots and screen recording • A per-vault unlock radius you can adjust to suit how careful you want to be **Honest about what it does** GeoLocker tells you, in plain words, what each kind of vault protects against and what it does not. No hype. You decide which vault fits which secret. The place is the key. For your most sensitive data, even the lock stays a secret.
