About Hide Photos, Files: Vault Pure
๐ YOUR VAULT. NOTHING ELSE.
Hide photos, lock videos away, encrypt documents: a photo vault that does exactly one thing. Your private files stay encrypted on your device. No ads. No tracking. No account. No cloud.
The hidden gallery sits behind a password and your fingerprint. Anyone picking up your phone will not see it. On the home screen the icon can look like a calculator.
Other vault apps push you into an account, run banner ads and ask for a subscription. Vault Pure needs none of that.

๐ ACTUALLY ENCRYPTED
โข AES-256-GCM on every single file
โข Tampered files are detected when opened and rejected, not handed back silently altered
โข Your password is never stored, not even as a hash
โข Locking the app drops the key from memory
โข Hiding is not encrypting: many apps only rename files. This one does not.
๐ผ๏ธ PRIVATE GALLERY
โข Import photos and videos straight into encryption (free up to 50, unlimited with Pro)
โข Albums, sorting and search
โข Full screen with pinch zoom
โข Encrypted video playback inside the app, seeking included
๐ RECOVERY KEY
โข Forgot your password? The recovery key gets you back into your vault
โข Shown once and stored nowhere
โข Included at no extra cost. Losing access to your own photos is not a premium problem.
๐ซ UNINSTALL PROTECTION
โข Someone who steals your phone cannot simply delete the app: Android refuses to uninstall it until you switch the protection off yourself
โข Optional, off by default, removable at any time
๐ FINGERPRINT
โข Biometric unlock through the Android keystore
โข Optional, switch it off any time
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

๐ญ DECOY VAULT

โข Stored encrypted, never leaves the device
โข Log with timestamps

โ COMMON QUESTIONS
How do I hide photos on my phone?
Import them into the vault. They are encrypted on the way in and removed from your normal gallery. No renaming, no hidden folder that any file manager can walk into.
What is free, what is Pro?
Free: up to 50 photos and videos, albums, recovery key, fingerprint. Pro (one-time): unlimited photos and videos, file vault, recycle bin, decoy vault, intrusion detection, themes. Whatever is already in the vault always stays accessible.
What if I forget my password?
That is what the recovery key is for. Write it down during setup and keep it away from the device.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. The app works entirely offline. Only the one-time Pro purchase goes through Google Play.
