Private iPhone Photo Vault, End-to-End Encrypted

About Vaultaire

Vaultaire is an iOS app designed to securely store photos, videos, and files using on-device AES-256-GCM encryption. It operates without requiring an account, email, or any personal information, and implements a zero-knowledge architecture so that only the user can access their data. Access to vaults is controlled by a user-defined pattern, and a recovery phrase is provided for backup. The app supports features like duress mode, secure sharing, and encrypted iCloud backup. The free version limits the number of vaults and files, while paid plans remove these restrictions. Vaultaire is suitable for users seeking private, local-first file protection on iPhones.

Best for: iPhone users, privacy-focused individuals, people storing sensitive photos or files
