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, scanned PDF, and private note under an independent AES-256-GCM key, with zero accounts, zero telemetry, and an offline HTML recovery tool you keep forever.
Independent keys, hardware biometrics, and verifiable recovery.
Four unlock methods backed by a 12-word Recovery Kit
Pattern-only vaults lock users out if muscle memory fades and leave visible finger trails in public. Vaultron lets you choose Secure Enclave Face ID, a 6+ digit PIN, an alphanumeric passphrase, or a 5x5 pattern (6+ nodes), paired with a printable BIP-39 12-word recovery sheet.
4K imports, PDF scanner & direct camera
Import 4K 60fps videos and Live Photos byte-for-byte, scan multi-page documents straight to encrypted PDFs via VisionKit, or capture directly into vault ciphertext with Vaultron Pro.
Plausible deniability & duress
With Vaultron Pro, a separate credential opens an isolated Decoy Vault non-destructively, while an optional Duress passcode wipes local Primary keys and halts CloudKit sync.
Pre-upgrade dry-run check & air-gapped HTML decryptor
Every .vaultbackup archive runs a 5-step in-RAM verification pass before export and can be unlocked offline on macOS, Windows, or Linux using our zero-dependency HTML decryptor.
Practical safeguards included out of the box.
Safe Hand-Off Presentation Lock
Handing your unlocked phone to show someone one ID scan or photo? Lock the viewer onto that single item so horizontal swiping, closing, and toolbar actions stay blocked until Face ID or passcode verification.
Face-Down Instant Lock & Cleanup
Flipping your iPhone face-down triggers CoreMotion gravity (g_z > 0.82) and proximity monitoring, zeroizing mlock RAM keys in under 100ms. Verified imports prompt to delete Camera Roll originals cleanly.
EXIF Cleaner & Encrypted Share Packs
Inspect embedded GPS coordinates in memory and export stripped images in one tap, or seal selected items into a password-protected Share Pack that recipients open for free on any platform.
