Why people use it

Three things a photo album cannot do

  • Face ID unlocking the LockBox vault, with the contents dimmed behind it

    Encrypted on the device

    AES-256 on every file, with the key in the iOS Keychain. There is no server to breach, because there is no server.

  • A LockBox security alert showing a photo of an unauthorised person, with time and place

    Catches the curious

    Repeated failed unlocks trigger a silent photo of whoever is holding your phone, stamped with the time.

  • A near-empty LockBox vault shown by the decoy passcode

    A vault behind the vault

    A second passcode opens a decoy vault with content you chose. If you are ever asked to unlock it, you can.

Free to start, and genuinely usable

The free version gives you 50 media files, 1 GB of storage, 5 albums — with full encryption, biometric unlock, and the private camera included. Premium lifts every limit and adds the decoy vault, intruder capture, and encrypted backup.

Cronk — the reminder that never forgets

Recurring reminders for everything that doesn't fit a calendar: medication, plants, filters, oil changes. It escalates until you act, and keeps a record of every completion.
