In their own words
NullVault
NullVault stores photos, videos, files, and notes in separate encrypted vaults, each opened with its own pattern. Entering a pattern opens the matching vault without showing a master list or the number of vaults. Within a vault, users can organize content into collections, search, and sort; they can capture or import items and deliberately export selected ones. Exported copies are outside NullVault’s protection.
Local vaults work offline without a NullVault account or server. The maker describes Android encryption using AES-256-GCM, Argon2id, and Android Keystore material; its iOS description lists AES-256-GCM, Argon2id, Apple CryptoKit, and libsodium. iOS supports encrypted iCloud backup and controlled read-only sharing through CloudKit, while Android supports portable encrypted backups. The free iOS plan allows up to five vaults and 20 items total, with one collection per vault. Compatibility is listed for iPhone running iOS 26 or later and Android phones running Android 10 or later. The maker warns that a compromised device may expose patterns, keys, screens, or plaintext, and that hidden vaults do not make encrypted data impossible to detect.
Safety Photo+Video
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.
