MiVaulty is a privacy-first encrypted vault for your most sensitive notes, passwords, and images. Every note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it ever touches your device's storage. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics, and no tracking. The only way in is your face or your finger. SECURE BY DESIGN - AES-256-GCM encryption with per-note unique IVs - Keys stored in the iOS Secure Enclave - Zero network entitlements โ the app cannot connect to the internet - Plaintext wiped from memory the moment the app goes to background - Optional vault wipe after failed authentication attempts - iCloud backup excluded by default 14 BUILT-IN TEMPLATES Credential, Wi-Fi, Website Login, PIN Code, Bank Account, Crypto Wallet, Server/Host, Network Config, API Token, Software License, Medical Info, Identity Document, Insurance Policy, and General Secure Note โ each with structured fields and secure masking. ENCRYPTED IMAGE VAULT Store photos of documents, cards, and credentials in a standalone encrypted gallery. Add captions, browse full-screen with pinch-to-zoom, and export encrypted or save to Photos. MARKDOWN NOTES Full markdown support: headings, bold, italic, code blocks, checklists, bullet lists, and blockquotes. Live preview with configurable font size. PASSWORD GENERATOR Generate secure passwords from 8 to 64 characters with customizable character sets, entropy-based strength meter, and one-tap copy or insert into notes. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY 11 built-in tags plus custom tags with color coding. Pin important notes, archive others, search across everything including trash. Sort by date modified, date created, or title. SHARE SECURELY Export individual notes or bulk selections as encrypted .vaultnote files. Recipients open them in MiVaulty with a passphrase you communicate separately. Or export as plaintext Markdown when you need it. TRASH WITH RECOVERY Accidentally deleted something? Recover from trash within 30 days. Permanent delete when you're sure. NO THIRD-PARTY CODE Built entirely with Apple's native frameworks. Zero third-party SDKs, libraries, or dependencies. No Firebase. No analytics. No ads. Nothing but your data, locked down tight. Your notes. Your device. Nobody else.
VaultShare

VaultShare sends your files and messages straight to another device over an end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer connection. Your data travels directly between the two devices and is never uploaded to or stored on any server. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Just open the app, pair with a short code or a QR scan, and share. HOW IT WORKS 1. One device taps "Generate Secret Room" to get a 6-digit code (e.g. 529-194) and a QR code. 2. The other device enters the code โ or scans the QR โ to join. 3. Both screens show a security verification code. Confirm they match to rule out a man-in-the-middle; transfers stay locked until both sides verify. 4. Pick your files and they stream directly to the other device, each chunk encrypted and checksum-verified on arrival. You can also chat securely over the same connection. REAL END-TO-END ENCRYPTION โข ECDH (P-256) key exchange with HKDF-SHA256 to derive a shared session key โข AES-GCM-256 authenticated encryption on every file chunk and message โข SHA-256 integrity check on every received file โข A human-comparable security code to defeat man-in-the-middle attacks โข Keys are generated and held only on your two devices โ we never see them PEER-TO-PEER, NOT THE CLOUD Files and chat move over a direct WebRTC connection between the two devices. A lightweight signaling server only helps the devices find each other; it never receives your file contents, messages, or keys. There is no storage server holding your data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โข No sign-up, no login, no profile โข No analytics, advertising, or tracking โข No personal data collected โข The camera is used only to scan room QR codes โ nothing is recorded SECURE CHAT Send end-to-end encrypted messages to your peer over the same private channel. WORKS WITH THE WEB APP VaultShare uses the same protocol as the VaultShare web client, so you can share phone-to-phone or phone-to-browser, in either direction. Note: VaultShare connects two devices through a signaling server to establish the peer-to-peer link. On some restrictive networks a relay (TURN) may be used to complete the connection; it only ever forwards already-encrypted data. Your files stay yours.
