LockMyPix vs Safety Photo+Video

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.

Safety Photo+Video is a mobile vault for keeping selected personal photos and videos apart from the everyday gallery. It runs on Android and iOS; the App Store listing requires iOS 15.0 or later, and downloads are available for iPhone, iPad, and Google Play. Users can arrange media in albums, mark favorites, assign separate passwords to albums, and capture new photos or videos inside the vault. Access uses a passcode or supported biometric method, depending on the device and app version. A different password can open a decoy vault. Files can move through a browser on the local Wi-Fi network. With zero-knowledge backup enabled, media is encrypted before upload and needs user-controlled credentials or recovery information. The free plan includes 10 GB. Options include 2.99 USD monthly iCloud Sync, 4.99 USD once for Pro, and storage plans up to 200 GB. Expired cloud backup is retained for 90 days, and private media is not used for AI training.
