Photos, videos, files and notes, really encrypted on your device and opened with a pattern only you know. No account, no servers of our own, no ads or tracking. Works offline.
Connect at least 4 dots on a 5×5 grid. That pattern opens your vault. There is nothing to sign up for.
Bring in photos and videos from Photos, files from the Files app, or shoot straight into the vault.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase. It restores your encrypted iCloud backup on a new device.
Features marked Pro need a Pro plan. Everything else is free.
Every photo, video, file and note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, thumbnails and names included.
No PIN to guess and no password to remember. Draw your pattern on a 5×5 grid to open your vault.
Each pattern opens its own vault, and the app never shows a list of them. Add a decoy vault to open when someone insists.
Backups go to your own private iCloud, encrypted and sealed to a 24-word recovery phrase that only you keep.
Keep your vaults in step between iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud.
Import from Photos, up to 50 items at a time, or any file from the Files app. On iPad, drag and drop.
Write notes inside a vault, encrypted like your photos and included in backup and sync.
Keep things tidy with folders, find them with search, and filter by Media, Documents or Notes.
Share items as an encrypted file with a six-word passphrase. Set an expiry date, an open limit and whether export is allowed. Opening a shared vault is free.
Vault screens come out black in screenshots, screen recordings, mirroring and AirPlay. On by default.
Location, camera and date details are removed from photos and videos before they are shared.
Play the photos and videos in a vault full screen.
Five app icons: Aurora, Ember, Mono, Midnight and Gold.
If someone grabs the device while a vault is open, the vault locks at once. Free and on by default. It locks the vault, not your iPhone.
Follows your system, or choose Dark or Light.
If someone grabs your iPhone while a vault is open, the sudden jerk locks the vault at once. Two or three quick shakes do the same. It locks the vault, not your iPhone.
Vaultron is built so that there is nothing to collect: no sign-up, no servers of our own and no third-party code.
No email, no login, nothing to sign up for.
No Vaultron server receives your files, keys, patterns or phrases. The app talks only to your private iCloud and the App Store.
No analytics, no ads and no trackers. Error reports stay on your device unless you send one yourself.
GDPR Privacy by design, in line with GDPR. No account and no servers of our own, so your files never pass through us. Your data stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud, always encrypted (AES-256-GCM). No personal data is collected, there are no ads and no tracking. Anonymous error reports leave your device only when you send them. Built in the EU by Thundera Group. Privacy & GDPR →

No. Vaultron has no sign-up and no login.
No. Vaultron has no server that receives them, and Thundera never receives your keys, patterns or recovery phrase.
If backup was on and you have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore your vaults on another device.
Vaultron cannot show your pattern. On the lock screen, tap Trouble getting in? to restore from your encrypted backup with your recovery phrase, or erase this device and start again.
