OutVault vs GrayBox

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.

GrayBox turns the camera you already carry into a dash cam with a private photo safe. No wires, no SD card, no account. Now on iPhone and iPad. Open the app and you're recording in about a second. Tap for a photo, hold for video, slide left to keep recording hands free. Your music keeps playing while you record. Everything goes straight to your private library, never your Photos app. If a call, an app switch, or a dead battery interrupts you, GrayBox keeps everything up to that moment, picks back up when you return, and stitches it into one clip with every interval time-stamped. A DASH CAM WITHOUT THE WIRES • Mount your phone and drive • Car Mode (Pro) is one tap from the camera and starts recording with your saved driving settings • Speed in mph or km/h and the time, burned right into your footage • Your music keeps playing the whole drive • Dual Cam records the road and the cabin at the same time, split screen or picture in picture (iPhone) • Swap the main camera without cutting the recording • A large dim clock while the screen is dimmed, so the phone stays mounted • Your location is only used to draw your speed and is never stored FOR THE MOMENTS YOU NEED ON RECORD • A traffic stop, a fender bender, a heated moment, anything you might need proof of • Lock Mode dims the screen and freezes the controls while recording continues • Unlocking takes a deliberate press and hold, 2 to 10 seconds, your choice • Volume buttons won't stop it either A PRIVATE PLACE FOR PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS • Keep photos of your ID, insurance card, receipts, and paperwork out of your camera roll • Albums, favorites, and Recently Deleted (kept for an hour, a day, or a month) • Select photos by dragging in any direction • Import existing photos and videos, export anything, anytime A LIBRARY ONLY YOU CAN OPEN • Your passcode gives nothing away, not even its length • Optional Face ID • Optional self-erase after too many wrong guesses, and you pick the number • After a run of wrong guesses, entry pauses for a few minutes so nobody can rush the limit THE CAMERA • Photos and video up to 4K • Flash, front and rear cameras, pinch to zoom from 0.5x to 10x • Turn the mic off for video only • Optional blurred hold instead of jump cuts, so clip length matches the clock PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no cloud, no ads, no analytics • Nothing about you is ever collected • Your library is excluded from backups and never appears in Photos unless you export it GRAYBOX PRO One purchase, yours forever. No subscription. Less than a dash cam memory card. • Car Mode with speed and clock • Locked Albums: an album with its own passcode and optional self-erase • Security log of every wrong guess and erase, time-stamped, and it survives the erase • Instant Lock: flip your phone face down or triple tap • Pattern and full keyboard passcodes • Timestamp burned into your footage • Eight themes The $100 dash cam on the shelf? You're already holding a better one. Just add a mount.
