Vaultron vs Locked Apple Notes: Unified Media, Scanned PDFs & Deniability
Locked Apple Notes works well for short text entries, but Apple Notes restricts video and heavy media attachments inside locked notes, defaults to your iPhone passcode, visibly marks locked notes with a padlock icon, and allows screenshots while unlocked. Vaultron stores private notes, scanned PDFs, Live Photos, and 4K videos together inside nested encrypted folders.
Capability Matrix
| Capability | Vaultron | Locked Apple Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4K videos & Live Photos alongside text notes | Supported in unified nested folders | Locked Notes blocks or restricts video attachments |
| Independent from iPhone unlock passcode | Always independent (PIN, Passphrase, or Pattern) | Shares iPhone passcode by default |
| Plausible Deniability (Decoy & Duress) | Slot 7 Decoy + Slot 6 Duress Wipe (Pro) | Visible padlock icon advertises locked note |
| Screenshot & App Switcher shield | Active across viewer and note editor | Screenshots allowed while note is open |
| Portable `.vaultbackup` browser recovery | ZIP64 archive + offline HTML decryptor | Locked notes omitted from standard exports |
1. One Encrypted Workspace for Documents, Media & Notes
Sensitive personal records such as passport scans, signed leases, medical documents, recovery codes, and video records rarely fit in plain text alone. Vaultron keeps PDFs, Live Photos, 4K videos, and notes organized together under one zero-knowledge key.
