Overview

An offline encrypted vault with no account, no cloud and no server. An optional working calculator disguises the app; the right PIN followed by “=” opens the vault.

02

Our solution

Media are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, the PIN and recovery code are stretched with Argon2id, and keys are wrapped by the Android Keystore. A written threat model drives every security decision.
