CalcSafe vs GalleryVault

CalcSafe is a mobile app that presents a private file vault behind a working calculator. Entering a secret PIN in the calculator opens the vault. The app stores photos, videos, documents, audio files and passwords. Photos and videos imported from the gallery disappear from the camera roll and remain locked inside the vault. CalcSafe says stored files are encrypted and secured on the device, with no cloud storage, servers or uploads. Setup requires no account, and the calculator disguise can be customized with themes and colors. The listed feature set also includes a decoy vault and intruder alerts. CalcSafe provides download links for both Android and iOS and links to a Help Center and Contact page. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes all core features free forever, with no account needed.

GalleryVault is an Android and iOS app for keeping photos, videos, and other files in a private vault. Users can add or capture photos and videos; supported file types also include audio and documents. The maker describes stored files as encrypted, and says media on SD cards can be encrypted too. A private browser can download all images and videos from a web page with one tap. For disguised access, the app can hide its icon and provides a secret door. GalleryVault includes backup and restore, and its help page says it can connect to Google Drive to store encrypted files. Free users can upload up to 100 new files to Google Drive per month. The maker says data is kept on the user's device and recommends backing it up. Deleted photos remain in the recycle bin for 60 days before automatic deletion. Paid features include fingerprint unlock, folder lock, fake passcode, random PIN keyboard, shake-to-close, and break-in alerts. A free plan is listed; the seven-day trial applies to six-month and one-year subscriptions. Paid options include 9.90 CNY a month and 68 CNY a year.
