OutVault: Private Camera

Your camera. Your rules. Zero compromise. OutVault is a professional-grade private camera that routes every photo and video directly into an encrypted, Face ID-protected vault on your device -- completely bypassing iOS Photos. The moment you press the shutter, your media is gone from the camera pipeline and locked inside your sandbox. Nothing ever touches your Camera Roll. WHY OUTVAULT? Most camera apps eventually save to iOS Photos. OutVault doesn't. It never calls a single Photos library API. Your media lives exclusively in a sandboxed vault, protected by NSFileProtectionComplete -- the same encryption tier iOS uses for health records and banking data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN * Captures photos and videos directly into the app sandbox * iOS Photos library is never touched -- not even for a millisecond * Face ID / Passcode lock on every launch and after backgrounding * NSFileProtectionComplete encryption -- files inaccessible while locked * No account, no sign-in, no third-party cloud * Disguise OutVault's Home Screen icon as Calculator, Notes, Weather, or Calendar * Share only when you choose -- via the standard iOS share sheet * Bring existing media in -- import from your Photos library or Files, or share directly from any app via the iOS share sheet CLEAN, FOCUSED GALLERY * Full-resolution photo and video capture with a custom camera UI -- tap to focus, pinch to zoom, exposure control, and an optional horizon level * Thumbnail grid with smooth fade-in previews * Swipeable full-screen detail view with pinch-to-zoom and smooth zoom transitions * Long-press context menu for quick share or delete * Drag or tap to select multiple photos or videos, then share or delete them in bulk * Recently Deleted -- optionally keep deleted items for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days so you can restore them * Instant thumbnail generation -- no waiting OUTVAULT PREMIUM * Edit capture date, add a note and author to any photo or video, and search your vault by note * Strip EXIF metadata automatically before sharing * Auto-delete photos and videos on a schedule you set * Decoy Vault -- a second PIN opens a separate, harmless-looking gallery while your real vault stays completely hidden * Burn a tamper-evident timestamp into your photos, so the date and time become part of the image itself * Add your own watermark to the photos you share -- in a corner or as a repeating pattern * One-time lifetime purchase -- no subscription, ever WHO IS OUTVAULT FOR? Built for professionals who understand that the safest file is one that never ends up where it shouldn't: - Journalists documenting sensitive sources or scenes - Attorneys photographing privileged case evidence - Healthcare professionals capturing patient-related visuals - Privacy-conscious users tired of Photos syncing everything to iCloud SECURITY DETAILS * Storage path: Application Support/assets/ (outside Photos.app reach) * File protection: NSFileProtectionComplete on every asset * Authentication: LocalAuthentication (Face ID / Passcode) * Sharing: Standard UIActivityViewController -- you control what leaves No ads. No tracking of your media. No surprises.
