Private Camera vs OutVault

A private camera and video vault in one app. Record personal videos, import photos and videos, and keep your media separate from your everyday gallery. Start without creating an account or providing an email. RECORD STRAIGHT TO YOUR VAULT Use the front or rear camera with simple recording controls. Keep recording sessions together on your device, then return to the camera when you finish. A CALCULATOR WITH A PURPOSE Use a working retro calculator with currency and unit conversion. Enter your app PIN to unlock the camera and your private media tools. DIFFERENT PASSWORDS, DIFFERENT VAULTS Your app PIN unlocks the calculator screen. Your master password opens all your vaults. A custom vault password opens its matching recordings, so you can keep different collections separate. Keep your passwords somewhere safe. IMPORT AND ORGANIZE Bring existing photos and videos into a password-protected vault from your gallery or the file chooser. Imported originals stay in their original location until you remove them yourself. QUICK VIDEO EDITS Open a clip from your vault to trim it, change playback speed, rotate it or mute its sound. Save an edited copy and keep the original. PASSWORD-PROTECTED FILE SHARING Choose Share Encrypted File to create a download link with a separate file password. Links expire after 30 days. Anyone with the link can download the encrypted file; the password is needed to open its contents. Share the password separately. Ordinary sharing remains a separate option. CLEAR PRIVACY CONTROLS Review backup settings before recording. Camera and microphone permissions are required, and system privacy indicators remain visible. Dark-screen mode is an in-app view, not a promise of recording while your phone is locked. Record only with permission and respect other people's privacy. Some features depend on your device and plan. See the privacy policy for storage, backup and sharing details.

Your camera. Your rules. Zero compromise. OutVault is a professional-grade private camera that routes every photo and video directly into an encrypted, Face ID-protected vault on your device -- completely bypassing iOS Photos. The moment you press the shutter, your media is gone from the camera pipeline and locked inside your sandbox. Nothing ever touches your Camera Roll. WHY OUTVAULT? Most camera apps eventually save to iOS Photos. OutVault doesn't. It never writes anything to your Photos library. Your media lives exclusively in a sandboxed vault, protected by NSFileProtectionComplete -- the same encryption tier iOS uses for health records and banking data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN * Captures photos and videos directly into the app sandbox * Nothing is ever saved to your iOS Photos library -- not even for a millisecond * Face ID / Passcode lock on every launch and after backgrounding * NSFileProtectionComplete encryption -- files inaccessible while locked * No account, no sign-in, no third-party cloud * Disguise OutVault's Home Screen icon as Calculator, Notes, Weather, or Calendar * Share only when you choose -- via the standard iOS share sheet * Bring existing media in -- import from your Photos library or Files, or share directly from any app via the iOS share sheet * Silent shutter, where local law allows CLEAN, FOCUSED GALLERY * Full-resolution photo and video capture with a custom camera UI -- tap to focus, pinch to zoom, exposure control, and an optional horizon level * Thumbnail grid with smooth fade-in previews * Swipeable full-screen detail view with pinch-to-zoom and smooth zoom transitions * Long-press context menu for quick share or delete * Drag or tap to select multiple photos or videos, then share or delete them in bulk * Recently Deleted -- optionally keep deleted items for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days so you can restore them * Instant thumbnail generation -- no waiting OUTVAULT PREMIUM * Edit capture date, add a note and author to any photo or video, and search your vault by note * Strip EXIF metadata automatically before sharing * Auto-delete photos and videos on a schedule you set * Decoy Vault -- a second PIN opens a separate, harmless-looking gallery while your real vault stays completely hidden * Burn a tamper-evident timestamp into your photos, so the date and time become part of the image itself * Add your own watermark to the photos you share -- in a corner or as a repeating pattern * Evidence report -- a PDF with each item's capture details and SHA-256 hash, plus the original files in one ZIP, so anyone can verify nothing was changed * One-time lifetime purchase -- no subscription, ever WHO IS OUTVAULT FOR? Built for professionals who understand that the safest file is one that never ends up where it shouldn't: - Journalists documenting sensitive sources or scenes - Attorneys photographing privileged case evidence - Healthcare professionals capturing patient-related visuals - Privacy-conscious users tired of Photos syncing everything to iCloud SECURITY DETAILS * Storage path: Application Support/assets/ (outside Photos.app reach) * File protection: NSFileProtectionComplete on every asset * Authentication: LocalAuthentication (Face ID / Passcode) * Sharing: Standard UIActivityViewController -- you control what leaves No ads. No tracking of your media. No surprises.
