Gesture Vault

GestureVault gives you a different way to protect the things you want kept private. Instead of relying on another PIN or password, your vault can be unlocked using a multi finger gesture that you create. Keep passwords, private notes, photos, documents and sensitive records together in one protected vault. Your gesture is your key Create a gesture based on how many fingers you use, where you place them and how you move. Nothing is displayed while you unlock, helping keep your gesture private from anyone looking over your shoulder. A vault for more than passwords Store passwords, notes, photos, documents and secure records. You can also scan documents directly into your vault and import passwords from a file. Create a decoy vault Set up a second gesture that opens a separate decoy vault. Your main vault and decoy vault remain separate, giving you another way to protect what matters. Recovery when you need it GestureVault provides a recovery phrase during setup. Save it somewhere safe and you can use it to regain access if you ever forget your gesture. More control over your vault Enable Face ID app locking, create vault backups, restore from a backup and export your passwords when you need them. Your private information deserves more than another password to remember. GestureVault puts your vault behind something uniquely yours.
