Everything a vault should do. Nothing it shouldn’t.

A locked place for the photos and videos that are nobody else’s business, on your iPhone or Android phone. Features marked Pro are part of the paid plan.

Lock it

Pattern unlock

Draw a pattern on a 5×5 grid. Over 19 million 6-dot patterns, and far more with longer ones.

Separate vaultsPro

Each pattern leads to its own vault. No list and no count of your vaults is kept.

Guest vaultPro

A second pattern opens a separate vault with only what you put there.

Emergency patternPro

Forced to open the app? An emergency pattern opens your chosen vault and removes the others from the phone.

Keep it

Encrypted backup

Save an encrypted backup file to Files, a computer or a drive you trust. Only your recovery phrase opens it.

Recovery phrase

A 12-word phrase per vault, shown once. We never see it, so nobody can reset it but you.

Watch it, hide it

Break-in photosPro

After 3 wrong tries, a front-camera photo that only your vault can open.

Calculator disguisePro

Looks like a calculator. A code brings up the unlock screen; your pattern opens the vault.

The everyday parts

AlbumVault is built for iPhone and Android. Move a vault between them with an encrypted transfer file and its recovery phrase.
When you import from your photo library, originals are deleted only after the encrypted copy is safely written, and only after you confirm.
On Android, screenshots and screen recording of the vault are blocked. On iPhone, the vault is covered in the app switcher and blurred during screen recording or mirroring.
The vault locks when you leave the app (immediately by default), when the screen locks, and after 5 minutes idle.
The apps contain no analytics, ad or tracking SDKs. Purchases use Apple’s or Google’s own in-app purchase.
There is no AlbumVault server, so there is no AlbumVault account to sign up for. We never have your photos or your keys, so we have nothing to hand over.
