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.
Secret Album: Photo Vault
Secret Album: Photo Vault hides photos and videos in encrypted storage protected by a PIN or fingerprint. A decoy PIN can conceal the real contents, and individual albums can use unique PIN codes. The app offers break-in alerts and reports with intruders' photos. Deleted photos and videos can be recovered from the Trash folder. A private camera and cloud backup are also listed. The app is available for iOS and macOS, subject to device requirements: iOS 15.0 or later and iPadOS 15.0 or later, or a Mac with macOS 12.0 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later. The App Store listing gives it an 18+ age rating. A free plan and free trial are listed, along with in-app purchases. Premium purchase options include USD 19.99, USD 49.99, USD 6.99, and USD 1.99, among other options. BP Mobile says it does not sell personal data and encrypts personal data where possible before sending it to hosting providers. It also says it cannot guarantee absolute security.
