About VaultShield: a photo vault that tells you how it works
VaultShield keeps your private photos and videos encrypted on your iPhone, behind a lock of their own. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no promises we can’t back up.
Why VaultShield
Hidden isn’t the same as private
The iPhone’s Hidden album opens with your iPhone passcode, so anyone who knows it can see what’s inside. Many vault apps go further, but describe their protection with slogans instead of specifics, so it’s hard to know what you’re trusting.
VaultShield gives your photos a lock of their own: a pattern that isn’t your passcode, with every file encrypted on your iPhone before it’s stored. And it explains, in plain language, exactly how that works, including what it can’t do.
What we believe
Four things we won’t compromise on
Nothing to hand over
No account, no email and no VaultShield server holding your photos. What we never collect, we can never lose or be made to share.
No accountNamed encryption, not slogans
We don't say “military-grade”. We name the methods, XChaCha20-Poly1305, Argon2id and the Secure Enclave, so anyone can check them.
How your vault is protectedHonest about the limits
Every feature page says what it doesn't do, and our Security page lists what no app can protect you from.

VaultShield is a photo and video vault. The private browser is a useful extra, not the point.

How we make money
You pay for the app. That’s it.
VaultShield is paid for by the people who use it. There are no ads, and the app doesn’t include any analytics, crash-reporting or advertising tools, so there’s nothing about you to sell, even if we wanted to.
