PrivyGallery is a local-first private photo and video vault for the things you want to keep separate, organized, and under your control. Some photos, videos, ID copies, screenshots, and personal files simply deserve their own space. PrivyGallery gives them a cleaner home: easy to browse like a photo album, better organized with albums, and protected with passcode, Face ID / Touch ID, strong vault protection, and encrypted local backups. You can import photos and videos into PrivyGallery, sort them into albums, and keep different types of content apart. Personal photos, document copies, screenshots, and videos can each have their own place, so you do not have to search through everything at once. PrivyGallery also supports dual spaces. You can keep different content in different spaces, with seamless space switching that feels natural in daily use. For media that needs extra privacy, Strong Vault adds stricter access, preview, and privacy protection. PrivyGallery is built with a local-first approach. Your media stays on your device and does not rely on cloud sync. Encrypted .vault backups let you export, store, move, and restore your data on your own terms. What you can do with PrivyGallery: * Store private photos and videos * Organize private media into albums * Keep personal photos, documents, screenshots, and videos separate * Use dual spaces for different privacy needs * Switch between spaces seamlessly * Protect sensitive media with Strong Vault * Unlock with passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID * Import photos and videos from your library * Optionally delete original items after import * Export and restore encrypted .vault backups PrivyGallery is not just about hiding photos.

DevBoxMobile is a native remote workspace for developers and homelab users. Bring your Linux, macOS, and Windows servers, tools, and everyday maintenance tasks together on iPhone and iPad. • Discover and organize servers, then inspect their status and services. • Open interactive SSH shells in separate tabs. Choose a saved server or connect to one temporarily. • Create or reconnect to persistent tmux sessions, grouped by server. Session discovery refreshes without blocking navigation; guided installation is available on supported hosts. • Browse and transfer files with sorting by name, size, modification date or type, hidden-file controls, compact rows, and direct Save to Files. Manage Docker containers and search logs. • Run read-only checks across selected servers and launch saved maintenance actions. • Build and test HTTP requests, monitor endpoints, and browse supported databases. • Find supported remote coding agents and inspect their running processes. • Access private web services through on-demand SSH port forwarding. • Protect credentials with Keychain and optional Face ID or Touch ID. Export an encrypted backup or back up to your own iCloud account. • Use a compact workspace on iPhone and multi-column layouts on larger iPad windows, with support for larger text sizes. DevBoxMobile does not host a server for you. Remote features require a server or service you own or administer, suitable network access, and the relevant credentials. Some features depend on software installed on the remote host.
