YOUR PRIVATE DATA DOESN’T NEED ANOTHER CLOUD SecureKit is a private, encrypted vault that keeps sensitive information where it belongs — on your iPhone. Store passwords, 2FA codes, private photos, identity documents, notes, and audio recordings together in one protected place. No SecureKit account. No cloud vault. No synchronization. Your vault is encrypted on your device and protected by Face ID or your device passcode. ONE PRIVATE PLACE FOR WHAT MATTERS PASSWORDS Keep usernames, passwords, and account notes in your encrypted vault. Organize accounts into groups, hide credentials until needed, and copy them with a tap. TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION Keep 2FA codes beside the accounts they protect. Add an authenticator by scanning a QR code or entering its details manually. PRIVATE PHOTOS Move sensitive photos into an encrypted, on-device vault and organize them into private groups. After importing, you can choose to remove the originals from Photos with iOS confirmation. DOCUMENTS & IDs Scan or import multipage copies of passports, identity cards, residence cards, driving licences, and other documents. Store identification numbers and expiry dates, and receive reminders before they expire. PRIVATE NOTES Keep bank details, insurance and travel information, recovery details, personal notes, and other sensitive text away from ordinary note-taking apps. You can also scan printed documents and turn recognized text into a private note. PRIVATE AUDIO Record confidential voice notes or import audio files into your encrypted vault. PRIVACY BY DESIGN SecureKit is designed around a simple principle: your private vault stays on your device. • 256-bit AES-GCM encryption • Vault key protected by the iOS Keychain • Face ID and device-passcode authentication • Local-only vault storage • No SecureKit account required • No cloud vault or synchronization • Sensitive content hidden from the app switcher ENCRYPTED BACKUP & RESTORE Create a password-protected encrypted backup containing passwords, notes, documents, audio, photos, groups, and Recently Deleted items. Your recovery password is never stored, and your vault key is never written to the backup. When restoring, SecureKit adds missing content without overwriting existing items. Restoration remains available without Premium and is never blocked by document or audio limits. SECURITY ON YOUR TERMS Choose whether SecureKit locks immediately or after 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. Enable Shake to Lock for an instant gesture to secure your vault. SIMPLE, PRIVATE ORGANIZATION • Create custom groups • Search your private vault • Organize passwords, 2FA codes, notes, documents, photos, and audio • Restore items from Recently Deleted • Monitor local storage usage • Permanently erase your vault whenever you choose SECUREKIT PREMIUM The SecureKit core remains available without Premium. Free users can store passwords and private notes, plus up to three active documents and three active audio items. Recently Deleted items do not count toward these limits, and existing content remains accessible. SecureKit Premium unlocks: • Unlimited documents and audio • Private photo imports • Two-factor authentication codes • Encrypted backup creation Choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or unlock Premium permanently with a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled and can be managed in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime is charged once and does not expire. Previous purchases can be restored from the paywall. Existing installations from before version 2.2.0 retain permanent unlimited document and audio access. Your passwords. Your documents. Your photos. Your private information. Encrypted on your iPhone — not stored in our cloud. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
