## Full description

Sealby is a private, account-free encrypted vault for your photos, videos, documents and notes. Everything is encrypted on your iPhone or iPad with AES-256 — there is no account, no server, and no backdoor. What syncs to iCloud is an unreadable blob that only you can open. Not even we can read your data.

A DIFFERENT PIN OPENS A DIFFERENT VAULT
Sealby doesn't hide one vault behind one password. Every PIN opens its own independent vault — an everyday vault, a work vault, and hidden vaults nobody can prove exist. Vaults are stored as identical encrypted blocks, and no list of them is kept anywhere. Hand someone your unlocked phone: your private vault stays invisible, and its existence stays yours to deny. An optional duress PIN opens a harmless decoy and removes your other vaults from the device.

WHAT YOU CAN KEEP IN IT
• Photos and videos — encrypted on import
• Documents, PDFs, scans and any file type
• Rich-text notes — journals, recovery codes, seed phrases
• Folders, tags and search inside every vault

SERIOUS CRYPTOGRAPHY, HONESTLY EXPLAINED
• AES-256-GCM with a separate key for every file
• Keys protected by the Secure Enclave, unlocked by your PIN, pattern or passphrase
• No account, no sign-up — nothing to phish, reset or breach
• Each vault has its own recovery phrase, held only by you

Because there is no backdoor, there is also no "forgot password." If you lose both your PIN and a vault's recovery phrase, that vault cannot be recovered — by anyone. That trade-off is what makes Sealby readable by no one but you.

Free to use on one device with up to 100 files per vault. Premium adds encrypted iCloud backup, sync across your devices, and vault sharing — as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Built for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+). No ads, no tracking, ever.
