About

iVeç

Features
Read full description

iVeç is a private vault for the photos and videos you’d rather keep to yourself. Everything you add is encrypted directly on your iPhone with AES‑256 — the same authenticated encryption trusted for sensitive data — and protected by a PIN you choose, plus Face ID or Touch ID. Truly offline by design. iVeç contains no networking code at all: no accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. Your media never leaves your device. There is nothing to breach on a server, because nothing is ever uploaded. Only you hold the key. Your PIN is stretched with 200,000 rounds of PBKDF2 and is never stored anywhere. If you forget it, not even we can recover your vault — that is the point. FEATURES • AES‑256‑GCM encryption for every photo and video, plus the thumbnails and the index itself — nothing readable ever touches disk. • Unlock with your PIN or with Face ID / Touch ID. • Separate Photos and Videos sections, each organized into albums you name. • Built‑in camera to capture straight into the vault — shots never touch your normal camera roll. • Full‑screen viewer with pinch‑to‑zoom for photos and smooth video playback. • Import from your library, and optionally delete the originals afterward. • Favorites and sorting, multi‑select to move or delete in bulk. • Save a copy back to your Photos library whenever you choose. • Auto‑locks the instant you leave the app, with a privacy screen that hides content in the app switcher. • Optional intruder capture: photographs anyone who repeatedly enters a wrong PIN. • Included in your encrypted device backup, so your vault survives a new iPhone. • Available in Albanian and English. A note on responsibility: because your PIN is the only key and is never stored, keep it safe. A forgotten PIN means the photos cannot be recovered — that is what makes them truly private.

Verdict

The call
