Vault is the easiest to use file sharing app with advanced DRM and document signing features. Our product is based on advanced public key encryption service that removes the need to share file passwords or encryption keys. Access your protected files anywhere, anytime! Security features include: 1. Digital rights management. Share text / markdown, pdf and images with read-only access to specific recipients. Documents and folders can be shared to individual users or hierarchical user groups, with fine-grained access rights. 2. Client-end encryption. Vault uses public key encryption. The data is never encrypted or unencrypted solely in the cloud; it is always done on the user's device. 3. Mobile endpoint control. Since each device is tied to a unique key, stolen device's file access can be easily revoked. 4. End-to-end document protection. Documents are protected throughout their life cycle, when they are at rest, in-transit or in-use. 5. Version control. Automatic versioning with options including locking, deletion and adding descriptions for individual version items. 6. Transfer of large files (over 1GB) is supported by splitting the data into smaller segments, which are independently encrypted. This allows recovery from network interruptions and automatic resumption of incomplete uploads and downloads. 7. Audit trails. Track your teamβs usage using event logs, and know who read which documents at what time. Vault is free to download and is not plagued by advertisements. Advanced security specifications: 1.

Vault keeps the secrets you can't afford to lose: seed phrases, private keys and private notes, and your two-factor codes too. It has no servers, no accounts and no analytics, it makes no network requests, and it's open source. It's also built for the moment someone makes you unlock it. RECOVERY PHRASES AND PRIVATE KEYS β’ Keep the seed phrases for your crypto wallets, checked against the BIP39, SLIP-39, Electrum and Monero word lists as you type. β’ Keep private keys: WIF and extended keys (xprv), raw hex keys and Nostr keys, checked where they have a checksum, and PGP and SSH private keys. β’ Phrases and keys are always encrypted and locked, masked until you tap them, hidden while the screen is recorded or shared, and can't be copied. β’ Vault keeps your keys, never your funds: it signs nothing and makes no network requests. IF YOU'RE MADE TO UNLOCK IT β’ App Lock keeps Vault behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and hides it in the app switcher. β’ An App Lock Password encrypts the whole vault on your iPhone. Vault asks for it after Face ID or your passcode, and makes you wait longer after each wrong one. β’ A duress password opens a separate vault instead of your real one. β’ Hidden items only appear when you search for their passphrase. β’ A killphrase quietly deletes an item from this vault as soon as it's searched for. β’ If you turn it on, 10 wrong passwords in a row erase every vault on the iPhone. BACKUPS YOU CONTROL β’ Save an encrypted PDF backup to print or keep wherever you like. Restore it from the file, or by scanning its QR codes. β’ Or have Vault save a fresh encrypted backup whenever your items change, to a folder you choose, such as one in iCloud Drive. β’ Move your vault to another iPhone, iPad or Mac by scanning QR codes, with no file saved. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ No servers, no accounts, no sync, no analytics and no network requests. β’ Hide While Recording covers Vault while the screen is recorded, mirrored or shared. β’ Apple's keyboard learns nothing you type in Vault. β’ Open source: the code is on GitHub, with a security model that lists every promise Vault makes, and its limits. NOTES AND 2FA CODES β’ Write notes in plain text or Markdown, tag them, and find anything with instant search. β’ Lock any item behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and encrypt a note with a password of its own. β’ Add a code by scanning its QR code, or type in its secret. Time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) codes both work. β’ Tap a code to copy it. Copies are cleared from the clipboard after a minute by default, and only reach your other devices if you allow it. β’ Fill codes into apps and websites with AutoFill, and see them in widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. β’ Turn on Show in Spotlight to find a code by its site's name. Vault is free on iPhone, iPad and the Mac, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
