Travelers can lock private photos and files behind a pattern-based vault, reducing exposure if their iPhone is lost, stolen or subjected to border checks.
Hide private photos and videos from casual access
Users can move personal images and clips out of the standard Photos app into an encrypted vault that requires a pattern unlock, going beyond a basic hidden album.

Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is encrypted photo and video storage — handled better than most — and pattern-based unlock adds a non-standard barrier. Lost pattern means lost data with no recovery is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on zero-knowledge encryption architecture, and focused, single-purpose design caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and on-device key handling. Secure file storage for documents fits neatly into how we already work, and secure file storage for documents removed a step we used to do by hand. IPhone only, no Android or desktop, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.

Does the job
Pretty happy overall. On-device key generation just works and supports photos, videos and general files. IPhone only, no Android or desktop can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Q&A
What Is Zero-Knowledge Encryption?
Your data never leaves your device unencrypted. We build privacy architecture, not data vacuums.
Asked by Lucas Petit · Oct 13, 2025
What is Vaultaire?
Vaultaire is a local-first encrypted vault app for iPhone. It uses AES-256-GCM encryption with pattern-based keys drawn on a 5x5 grid. Every pattern opens a different vault, and there is no way to prove other vaults exist. It requires no account, collects no personal data, and stores nothing on external servers unless you opt in to encrypted iCloud backup. Vaultaire is built by Wraxle LLC.
Asked by Olamide Fashola · Sep 20, 2025
Can Apple see my files?
No. If you enable iCloud backup, we upload an encrypted blob. Apple hosts the file, but without your pattern key, it is mathematically impossible for them to read it.
Asked by Jasper Vermeer · Sep 17, 2025
What happens if I forget my pattern?
You are provided with a secret passphrase that recovers the vault. However, if you forget that too, the data is lost. We do not store keys or have a backdoor to the data.
Asked by Camille Laurent · Sep 18, 2025
Do I need an account?
Absolutely not. Vaultaire works right out of the box. No email, no phone number, no signup.
