Features

Everything you need to keep things private.

Nothing you don’t. Every feature works offline, on your phone.

Locking

A lock that’s yours alone.

  • 5×5 pattern. Far more combinations than a 3×3 phone lock.
  • Fingerprint unlock. Optional, after you’ve drawn your pattern once.
  • Intruder photos. From the third wrong pattern in a row, the front camera quietly photographs each attempt.
  • Locks itself when you leave the app.

Vaults

Separate vaults for separate things.

Each vault has its own pattern and its own recovery phrase. Drawing one pattern opens only that vault. Nothing on screen says the others exist.

  • Three vaults on the free plan, unlimited with Pro
  • Folders inside each vault
  • Search everything in the open vault

Stay unseen

For when someone is looking over your shoulder.

Disguise as another app PRO

Give Sealcloak any picture and name, so on your home screen it looks like an ordinary app.

Opens to your pattern PRO

Tap the disguised icon and it goes straight to your pattern. Nothing else gives it away.

Coerce

A harmless vault with its own pattern. If you’re forced to unlock, draw it and show there’s nothing to see.

No screenshots

Screenshots, screen recording and the recent-apps preview are blocked.

Erase after wrong tries

Off by default. Turn it on and too many wrong patterns erase every vault. You must type PERMIT to enable it.

Out of the gallery

Once a photo is safely inside, delete the original from your gallery and it lives only in the vault.

Inside the vault

More than a photo locker.

Photos & videos

View and play them without ever saving an unencrypted copy.

Documents & audio

PDFs, files and recordings, all encrypted.

Private notes

Write notes that live only in the vault.

Document scanner

Scan papers and IDs into the vault as a PDF. The pages are saved to the vault, not your gallery.

Never lose a file

Backups without a cloud.

Recovery phrase

Nine random words, or your own sentence of six words or more. It opens the vault if you forget the pattern.

Encrypted backup file

Export a vault to one encrypted file. Move it to a new phone and import it there.

Scheduled backup

Weekly or monthly, saved to a folder you choose, even while the app is locked.

Share securely

Send a file encrypted with a passphrase. Share the passphrase separately.

Security checkup

A quick list showing what’s set up and what to do next.

Light & dark

Follows your phone’s theme, or pick one.
