Private Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
