Private photos and documents, encrypted beyond your passcode.
Anyone who knows or glimpses your iPhone passcode can open Apple’s Hidden Album. Vaultron encrypts every photo, Live Photo, 4K video, PDF, and note with an independent AES-256-GCM key—with zero accounts, zero telemetry, and an offline browser recovery tool you own forever.
Designed around the real ways people lose access—or privacy.
Four unlock methods, backed by a 12-word Recovery Kit
Competing pattern-only vaults lock users out permanently if muscle memory fades. Vaultron lets you switch cleanly between Secure Enclave Face ID, tactile PIN, alphanumeric passphrase, or a 5×5 pattern—plus an offline BIP-39 12-word recovery sheet that resets forgotten credentials without data loss.
Zero-trace 4K camera
Shoot photos and 4K video straight into encrypted chunks without ever writing to the iOS Camera Roll or iCloud Photo Library.
Plausible deniability & duress
A secondary passcode opens an isolated Decoy Vault non-destructively. An optional Panic PIN cryptographically destroys your primary key slot under coercion.
Certified phone upgrades & standalone browser decryptor
Switching iPhones is the #1 cause of data loss in vault apps. Every .vaultbackup archive runs a 5-step cryptographic dry-run before export, and can be unlocked offline on any Mac, Windows PC, or Linux browser using our zero-dependency HTML decryptor.
