What it is

Quantum Media Vault (QMV) is a native photo app whose maker says its library stays on users’ devices rather than on a server. It says each photograph is encrypted on the device before it moves, using always-active 256-bit encryption. Optional sync is end-to-end encrypted and limited to a user’s devices. Search by face, scene or keyword runs on-device, and QMV says the search does not send information elsewhere. The maker also says photos disappear from memory when the app closes and describes a zero-trace mode that keeps them in memory only. Screen Shield is designed to block screenshots and screen recording at the system level. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows, and cloud backup is available. Its comparison page says professional users can link private servers through Bring Your Own Cloud and stream 4K video with frame-by-frame decryption. The free vault limit is 10,000,000 items, and the pricing note includes a 14-day trial. QMV is currently invite-only, with early access available by application.
