Features
Mavaul is a private vault for photos and videos on iPhone. Every photo is encrypted with AES-256 on the phone, with no account and no Mavaul cloud. The rest of the app is about the part you do every day: opening the vault and looking at your photos.
Six things it does well
- On-device encryption Free AES-256-GCM on the iPhone for every photo, video and album name. No account, no Mavaul cloud.
- Face ID & passcode Free Open with a glance or a 4-digit code that isn't your phone's. Locks the moment you leave.
- Photo viewer Free Tap the edges to flick through, pinch to zoom, pull down to close, or start a slideshow.
- Wi-Fi Share Free Scan a QR code and the vault opens in a browser on a TV, laptop or any device on the same Wi-Fi. Nothing leaves your Wi-Fi.
- Encrypted backup Premium Back up to Dropbox, Nextcloud or Files, encrypted on the phone first. Mavaul never hosts it.
- Email recovery Premium Email yourself your recovery key, confirmed with a code, so it's there if you forget the passcode.
Also in Mavaul
- Decoy mode. A working calculator stands in for the lock screen; type your passcode on its keypad to get in. Free. Swap the icon for a calculator, a cat, a bottle of hot sauce and more (Premium).
- Lock delay. The vault locks the moment you leave. Want a grace period? Pick 5 seconds up to 10 minutes. Premium.
- Adjust & crop. Exposure, brilliance, contrast, shadows and brightness, plus crop to Square, 4:5, 4:3 or 16:9. Edits stay inside the vault. Premium.
- Drag to select. Slide a finger across the grid to grab dozens at once, like Photos on iOS. Free.
- No limits. The free plan holds 20 photos and videos. Premium has no cap.
