CalcSafe vs Hide it Pro

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.

Hide it Pro is an app for keeping private photos, videos, music, apps and notes out of view. Hidden data is encrypted and stored on the device, and the privacy policy says the maker cannot access media added to the app. Users can access the vault with a fingerprint, and app locking supports a fingerprint or password. The app also includes a private browser with ad blocking and tracking protection, plus chat for private conversations and photo exchange. Optional plugins add more functions: one can remove the app icon, while VBrowser offers incognito browsing, a download manager, video downloads from over 14 streaming sites and picture saving. An SMS hider plugin is described as early development and is not guaranteed to work. Hide it Pro is available for Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. Its free plan is listed at free, with no paid plans listed on the official site. The privacy policy says third-party ad SDKs may collect IP address, device and operating-system details, session data and diagnostics.
