LockMyPix
LockMyPix is a mobile vault for photos, videos, documents, and other files on Android and iOS. The maker says imported files are encrypted with AES CTR in real time and kept on the device or an SD card rather than sent to its servers. For backup, LockMyPix Cloud can transfer files to the user's Google Drive or Dropbox account. Access can be protected with a password, PIN, pattern, fingerprint, or face unlock; face unlock depends on the device. The vault supports unlimited videos, including 8K video, and unlimited folders and subfolders. Premium features include a decoy vault, app disguise, intruder selfies, and SD-card storage. Free Basic Protection costs nothing, includes ads, and leaves some features to Premium. LockMyPix Premium costs $29.99, paid once and removes ads while unlocking premium features. The iOS listing requires iOS 15 or later; Mac support is listed for macOS 12 or later on an Apple M1 chip or later.
