Sometimes “security” isn’t a fortress. It’s a choice. A pause. A second door. A decoy key. And now — a second door behind the second door. A place your private life can still be yours — even when the world insists it shouldn’t be.

Vault is a private encrypted storage app for your photos, videos, notes, and documents. Everything is locked with AES-256 encryption directly on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded, synced, or shared. No account required. No cloud. No servers. Ever.   — YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR DEVICE —   Every file you store in Vault is encrypted the moment it enters the app. Photos, videos, notes, PDFs, documents — all protected by military-grade AES-256 encryption, stored only on your iPhone. Not even Vault can access your data without your PIN or biometrics.   — WHAT YOU CAN STORE —   • Photos & Videos — Import from your library or capture directly in-app. Files are encrypted instantly on arrival.
• Private Notes — Write and store personal notes behind encryption. Rich text with auto-save.
• Documents — PDF, Word, Excel, and more. View securely inside Vault without exposing files elsewhere.   — SECURITY THAT MEANS BUSINESS —   • Face ID & Touch ID — Unlock instantly with biometrics.
• 6-Digit PIN Fallback — Custom numeric keypad. Incorrect attempts trigger progressive lockout.
• Auto-Lock — App locks immediately when you leave or on shake gesture.
• Intruder Detection — Optionally capture a photo of anyone who enters the wrong PIN. Stored locally.
• Break-In Log — Full log of unauthorized access attempts with timestamp and optional location.
• Guest Mode — Set a separate PIN to show a limited, separate vault to anyone asking to see your phone.
• Secure Delete — Files are overwritten before deletion, not just removed.   — BLENDS INTO YOUR HOME SCREEN —   Choose from multiple app icon themes so Vault appears as a different utility on your home screen. Change anytime from Settings.   — PRIVATE BROWSER BUILT IN —   Browse privately without leaving a trace. No history, no cookies, no cache — automatically cleared every session.   — OFFLINE & INDEPENDENT —   Vault works 100% offline. No internet connection required (except the built-in private browser). No account to create. No email address. No recovery server. Your recovery options — security questions and a personal recovery key — are stored only on your device.   — RECOVERY OPTIONS —   If you ever forget your PIN, recover access using either:
• Security Questions — Two personal questions answered only by you.
• Recovery Key — A 6-word personal passphrase you save during setup.   Both options are fully local. No server involved.   — ONE-TIME PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. —   Vault Pro is a single lifetime purchase. Pay once, own it forever. No monthly fees. No annual renewal. Try free for 2 days with full access before you decide.   — WHAT STAYS FREE —   After the trial, you can always view and access content you have already stored in Vault at no cost. Adding new content and using advanced features requires Vault Pro. Privacy Policy : https://sites.google.com/view/vaultapppt/home
