About LockNest: Photo Vault

LockNest is a private vault for the photos and videos you don't want anyone else to see. Bring media in, lock it behind Face ID and a passcode, and keep it completely separate from your camera roll. Your photos and videos stay on your device, inside the app — they are never uploaded, and imported media never appears in the Photos app. WHY LOCKNEST • Hidden from the Photos app — imported media lives only inside LockNest • Your media stays on your device — no account and no cloud for your photos and videos • Hidden in the app switcher, so a glance won't reveal your vault LOCK IT YOUR WAY • Unlock with Face ID / Touch ID, a passcode, or both • Two-Step Lock: require your passcode after Face ID — a sleeping face or a photo isn't enough • Give any folder its own separate passkey • Auto-lock the moment you leave the app BRING MEDIA IN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS APP • Import from the Files app and iCloud Drive • Receive by AirDrop or "Open in" from other apps • Download straight from a link • Paste from the clipboard STAY IN CONTROL • Break-in Alerts: silently photograph anyone who fails to unlock 3 times, and log the time (Pro) • Recently Deleted: removed items are kept for 30 days, so nothing is lost by mistake • Organize with folders and favorites, add private notes to any item • Choose from a range of themes FREE & PRO LockNest is free to use with up to 3 folders and 5 items each. Upgrade to Pro for room to grow — 1,000 folders with up to 10,000 items each — plus Break-in Alerts, video support, all themes, and no ads. Your privacy is the whole point. LockNest keeps your media on your device, behind a lock only you can open.
