Premium Features
General
Infinity Vaults is designed from the ground up to be the most secure storage app available on iOS and be as easy/accessible to use as possible with a wide variety of features.
If you enjoy the app, you can support it through rating the app, sharing the app, and upgrading to the Professional subscription service. Thank you!
- You are encouraged to review the many features listed below to get the most out of the app. Start simple and explore advanced features as you learn how to use the app over time. Upgrade to Professional to unlock powerful premium features. Thousands of hours go in to development and your purchase helps make this app possible and will allow new features to be added over time.
- The app is organized in to discrete feature sets on the dashboard. Long press on any feature to re-arrange the order based upon your preferences.
- All functions are designed to be usable with one hand and without excessive reaching. The Action button (+) in the bottom right controls navigation and primary features. The tools button will appear on some sections in the lower left and provides additional features. Screens support swiping down to dismiss in most cases and swiping from the edges can move back and forth between screens.
- Long press can be used throughout the app on files to re-arrange them as well as to provide secondary features on toolbar buttons. List / Table views support dragging to re-order items as well as a search filter.
- Access primary features like creating, editing, and re-ordering items / folders using the Action button (+).
- Access your “Keychains” on the Dashboard by swiping from the right edge of the screen or tapping the Keychains button. Access your “Vaults” by swiping from the left edge of the screen or tapping the Vaults button.
- Use the paste button on the bottom left of the Dashboard to paste links or images you have copied from the Photos App.
- Device rotation is supported throughout the app.
- Customize the dashboard by pressing ‘+’ and set a background image from your photos.
- Enjoy the build in Web Apps, add your favorite web apps using ‘+’ on the dashboard, or remove web apps using the “…” button.
- A wide variety of languages are supported for ease of use and the app will respect dark mode for icons and splash screens.
- Notes, Reminders, Contacts, Wallet, and Passwords can be marked as favorites using the heart in the nav bar while viewing an item, or by swiping right on a row in the list. The filter menu has a Favorited option to show only those.
- Those same sections can hide individual items using the eye button in the nav bar while viewing an item. Hidden items are kept out of the normal list and are reached through the Hidden filter, which asks for the Vault password when the Vault has one. Revealing an item asks for it too. When “Disable Hidden Filter” is on in Settings, every hide and reveal control disappears throughout the app unless you are peeking at hidden items for the session. While peeking, hidden items appear in the list as normal but are dimmed.
- Notes, Reminders, Contacts, Wallet, and Passwords each have a filter menu in the nav bar with Filter By, Invert, Sort By, Sort Order, and Reset to Default, matching the Media filters. Sorting by name groups the list alphabetically with a fast scroll index; any other sort shows one plain list.
- The app supports Google Drive and Dropbox Cloud Vaults. These utilize your own existing accounts (or you can make a new account through them) so none of your data is ever stored on a server outside of your control.
- When using Cloud Vaults, files are initially saved to local storage and then uploaded to the Cloud. This ensures that the user experience is not held waiting for files to upload. Once the upload is completed, the temporary local file is deleted. Please keep in mind the time it may take to upload large files and wait until files are fully uploaded before closing the app. Items that are still being uploaded will have an upload icon on them. You can tap this to see Upload progress, cancel/re-attempt uploads, etc.
- A Cloud Vault remembers the account that created it and shows that email under the Vault name in the Vaults list. Signing in with a different account is rejected and the app tells you which account the Vault expects, because the files a Cloud Vault holds are only readable by the account that wrote them. Vaults created before this was added claim their account the first time they are opened successfully.
- NOTE: DUE TO 3RD PARTY STORAGE LIMITATIONS AND NETWORK LIMITS, INDIVIDUAL FILES LARGER THAN 1000 MB CANNOT BE UPLOADED TO CLOUD DRIVES.
- Have a feature request or experiencing a bug? Send us a Support Request in the Settings area.
- Need help? Look for the ‘?’ button throughout the app.
Security
Infinity Vaults includes a variety of security features designed to protect your data:
- The app supports containerized data storage using a system of “Keychains” and “Vaults”. “Keychains” are high-level containers that secure access to one or more “Vaults” (Vaults) that can be further protected with an optional password. The app can have an unlimited number of “Keychains” and “Vaults” and can be customized to segregate data and/or create decoys.
- Each Keychain can contain one or more unique keys in an order of your choosing. All keys must be entered, in order, to unlock the Keychain. Adding more keys increases security. Key options include 4-digit PIN, 6-digit PIN, password, pattern, and time-based one-time-password using an authentication app. You can add additional security by enabling biometric ID or a geofence location block (these are added after a standard key and cannot be used on their own).
- Each Vault can be given an optional password (enabled by editing the Vault or long-pressing its title; not available on a Keychain’s first Vault). When set, the password is required to open that Vault when switching to it from another Vault on the same Keychain, and to access its Trash and hidden files. This adds a layer of protection beyond the Keychain.
- Create a Decoy Keychain by tapping the Keychain icon in the top-right corner of the app’s home screen, tap ‘+’, and select “Add Keychain.” Give it a name, then add one or more Keys (PIN, password, pattern, etc.). The primary Key must be unique. For best results, use the same type of Key as your main Keychain’s first Key to avoid suspicion. When prompted, create a Vault with a neutral name like “Work” or “Important Files,” then add harmless or generic files to complete the decoy. This Keychain can safely be shared without revealing your real data.
- When setting your passphrase, be sure to write it down somewhere and store it securely OUTSIDE of the app (such as on paper and put in a physical safe). This CANNOT be recovered and is required to decrypt data exported out of the app such as through a WebDAV backup or browsing iTunes backups directly.
- Each Vault has its own database and is AES-256 encrypted with a passphrase derived encryption key for additional security you set on first install. All files, notes, data, etc. are encrypted with AES-256 security.
- Optional Break-in report can be triggered on incorrect login attempts, capturing the user’s photo, location, and time for review.
- Turn on “Require VPN for Browser” in Security settings to keep the browser and downloads paused whenever no VPN is connected. The app watches for the additional network interface that a VPN creates on your device beyond the standard Wi-Fi and cellular ones, so it works with any VPN provider and never needs to know which one you use. iCloud Private Relay and per-app VPN configurations do not create that interface, so the check treats them as no VPN. You can continue without a VPN for the current session from the paused screen.
- Vaults can be local (stored on your device) or cloud-based (Google Drive, Dropbox) with encrypted files in the cloud. NOTE: All Vaults have their database stored locally on your device.
- You are 100% in control of your data. It is never stored on a server or backed up without you choosing to do so directly. This ensures the highest level of security and performance. NOTE: All data stored locally on the device will be backed up when you perform normal iOS backups (whether through iTunes or iCloud backups). It is recommended to perform regular backups as Infinity Vaults cannot recover data for you.
- Encrypted Data stored in Cloud Vaults will not be backed up with your local iTunes / iCloud backups. Please reference Google Drive and Dropbox for their backup policies. Recovery of lost files on Cloud Vaults should be handled directly with the Cloud providers.
- Data can be exported through various methods outlined further below.
- All files are AES-256 encrypted regardless of size.
- Optional “Erase Data After Failed Attempts” (Professional): permanently erases all app data after the number of consecutive failed unlock attempts you choose (10, 15, or 20). Escalating lockouts force a sustained attack to take hours or days. A warning is shown before the final attempts. Any successful login resets the count.
- Vaults created on recent versions of the app each get their own unique, randomly generated encryption key. One Vault’s key never opens another.
- Vaults from older installs share a single key derived from your passphrase. Use “Upgrade Vault Encryption” in that Vault’s Security settings to move it onto its own unique key. Everything in the Vault is re-encrypted in place (which can take anywhere from seconds to an hour depending on the amount of content to be re-encrypted), and the upgrade can be cancelled and resumed later without losing anything.
- Once a Vault is on its own key, “Rotate Vault Encryption Key” replaces that key with a new one. Use it if an exported key may have been exposed.
- “Export Encryption Key” in Global Security shows every key your data uses, including the older passphrase derived key if any Vaults still use it. Store it offline. This is what allows recovering your data outside the app.
- “Change Passphrase” in Global Security replaces your passphrase without re-encrypting anything. Your passphrase protects your encryption keys rather than your files directly, so the change applies immediately.
- “Key-Bound Encryption” (Professional), in each Keychain’s Security settings, makes the keys of that Keychain part of the encryption itself. Your PIN, pattern or password stops being a lock the app checks and becomes part of the key that opens the Keychain’s Vaults, so nothing stored on the device can open them without it. A Vault password inside a bound Keychain becomes a second key for that Vault. Changing your keys or a Vault password re-wraps the keys instantly with the previous version kept until the new one has been used once. A forgotten key on a bound Keychain cannot be recovered, so export your Vault keys first. The feature can be turned off again at any time from the same setting.
- “Unlock with Face ID” (or Touch ID) for a bound Keychain keeps a copy of that Keychain’s encryption key in the device’s Secure Enclave, released only by your enrolled biometrics with no passcode fallback. Enter your first key, and Face ID opens the Keychain and the Vaults you had unlocked without the remaining keys or Vault passwords. The copy never leaves the device, is never in a backup, and is invalidated when your biometrics change, so every key and Vault password is still required in full every 7 days and on any new device. Nothing about the encryption itself changes, and turning it off removes the copy.
AI Chat
Chat with 100% privacy using on-device Large Language Models (LLMs), Image Generation Models, and Audio Generation Models, or connect self-hosted and cloud models.
- Use Apple’s built in Foundation model on supported devices or download open source LLMs with variations from Gemma, Qwen, Phi, Llama, Mistral, and more.
- On iOS 27 and later, a third engine runs models built for Apple’s new Core AI framework. Qwen3 0.6B and SmolLM2 1.7B ship precompiled for the Neural Engine, so they load in seconds and generate with very high efficiency.
- Chat through Apple Private Cloud Compute for a larger Apple server model without any account or API key. Requests are protected by Apple’s verifiable server privacy guarantees.
- Connect to your own Ollama server on your local network to chat with models you host yourself. This is useful for larger models while keeping inference on your own private hardware.
- Connect to cloud AI providers including Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), and Gemini (Google) using your own API key, for when you want the most powerful models. NOTE: Unlike on-device and self-hosted models, cloud models send your messages to the provider’s servers under their own privacy terms.
- Download Stable Diffusion image generation models such as 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, and XL.
- Download image enhancement models that upgrade AI Upscale and AI Sharpen in the Gallery. These models restore detail in photos degraded by compression, noise, and blur, and run entirely on device.
- Download FLUX.2 Klein on iOS 27 and later for 1024×1024 image generation with exceptional detail. An optional image editing variant can modify attached or previously generated images, and a live preview shows the image forming at each generation step.
- Download Stable Audio models to generate music and sound effects entirely on device, from short clips up to full length instrumental songs of several minutes. Audio generation runs on Apple’s Core AI and requires iOS 27 or later.
- Generate images with cloud models such as Gemini’s Nano Banana using your own API key (subject to the provider’s privacy terms).
- Chat directly with customizable AI Agents that you can create from templates such as those for support, assistants, or day to day uses like relationship advisors, idea generators, etc. or create an agent from scratch.
- Generate images using Image Agents with specific styles like Photo Realistic, Anime, Retro, and more.
- Generate audio using Audio Agents with specific styles like EDM, Lo-fi, Cinematic, Ambient, and Sound Effects. Each result appears in chat with a built in player, and you can save it to your Audio section or tap it to open it there.
- Fully customize agents to have specific content generation parameters for repeatable chat behaviors.
- Use robust tools including:
- Fetch Guide – Ask questions about items in this guide and the FAQ.
- File Search – Find images, videos, audio, and files from your Vault based upon file metadata.
- Navigate App Sections – Open any section of the app from chat directly.
- Web Search – Finds up to date information about current events or other information not already available in the core models.
- Fetch URL – Loads a summary of data from any website by url.
- Generate Image – Uses any created Image Generation Agents based upon their system prompt to generate images in LLM chat.
- Generate Audio – Uses any created Audio Generation Agents based upon their system prompt to generate music or sound effects in LLM chat.
- Create Memory – Allows saying to “remember” details and stores them in memories which will be used on future chats if enabled on an agent.
- Create Note – Allows creating notes based upon chat details.
- Weather – Looks up weather details for a location.
- Calculator – Performs calculations based upon mathematical expressions.
- Current Time – Allows accessing the current time/date for chat discussions.
- Random Number Generator – Allows generating random numbers to enhance specific chat scenarios.
- View, resume, delete past chat sessions.
- Store long term memory for optional use with agents. This allows chats to use personal info or history for future chats.
- Attach photos or files to models that support vision or file analysis.
- Tap any message to copy it, save it to Notes, or read it aloud with controls for speed, voice, and skipping by sentence. Use Save to Notes in the action button to save the whole conversation.
- Collapse the model and agent row into a single input bar using the chevron beside the send button, giving the conversation more room. Tap it again to bring the row back. Your choice is remembered the next time you open AI Chat.
Notes
Create private Notes with rich text support
- Add a name / identifier to help find the note easily in the future.
- Add text with rich formatting support.
- Use the toolbar added to the iOS Keyboard to adjust line type (Title / Heading / Body), style (Normal, Bold, Italic, Strikethrough), alignment (Left, Center, Right), indentation, text color, and highlight color.
- Use AI on a note to Summarize or Discuss its contents in a chat session.
- Tap the speaker button in the navigation bar to Read Aloud. The note is spoken on device and each word is highlighted and scrolled to as it is read. Tap the speaker again to stop. Nothing is sent off the device.
- Reading starts wherever you are. With the keyboard open it starts at the cursor, otherwise it starts at the first word visible on screen, so a scrolled note picks up where you are reading.
- While reading, a control bar appears with restart, skip back and forward a sentence, play / pause, stop, playback speed, and voice. Changing speed or voice continues from the current word instead of starting over.
- Choose any voice installed on the device. Download higher quality voices in the iOS Settings app under Accessibility, Spoken Content, Voices.
- Choose “Save as Audio” in the action menu to turn the note into an audio file stored in the Vault’s Audio section, so it can be played later from the audio player. Cancel the progress indicator to stop it.
Camera
The built-in Camera allows you to take photo and video and stores them directly in the app.
- Use the shutter button to take photos or start/stop a video recording.
- Tap the zoom button to switch between 1x, 2x, and 5x zoom. Pinch on the screen to refine the zoom level.
- Control shutter speed by tapping the button to the left of zoom. It supports “Auto” and various shutter durations.
- Review photos and videos quickly by tapping the preview button in the lower left.
- Tap the screen to change the focus point.
- A faint box is visible on the screen to show the active capture area.
- Recording will take in to account the device orientation at start of capture.
- Point the Camera at a QR code and a scan button appears next to the zoom and exposure controls. Tap it to see what the code contains, then open a web address in the private Browser or copy the contents. Codes are read entirely on-device and are never opened automatically.
- Use the Action button (+) to access features like switching between capture modes, flipping the camera, enabling / disabling flash, showing a grid, and hiding the camera viewfinder.
- On the iOS Lock screen, you can add a Camera widget for quickly taking photos without key access or the app initially open (viewing photos requires key access).
Settings
Customize your app experience with various settings.
- When accessing settings from your primary Keychain/Vault all settings will be available including Global settings. Otherwise, settings are unique to each Vault.
- Global Settings show storage statistics and allow changing the app icon.
- Start a Web Uploader (provides a URL you can load in your web browser on a desktop computer to import, transfer, or backup individual files WITHOUT encryption).
- Start a WebDAV server (provides IP/credentials details you can load in your WebDAV client on a desktop computer to import, transfer, or backup individual files WITH encryption). This is most commonly used for copying data to another device, backing up raw data, or recovering from a manual backup.
- Set credentials for data transfer.
- Check for any imports that may have been missed on a previous app launch.
- To make the action button (+) on the left and the tools button on the right, enable “Flip Controls”.
- By default, edited items that are overwritten store the original copy in the Trash. To prevent storing the original copy, choose to delete overwritten immediately.
- Clear global temporary storage.
- View Break-In Reports. NOTE: To get the most out of this feature, when enabling please approve the location and camera permissions. When a user enters incorrect authentication information for a specific Vault, a photo will be taken and the time and location will be stored. In the event of 5 or more consecutive failed attempts, the app will be locked for a period of time to prevent brute force attacks.
- Scan for orphaned files and recover to vaultz when possible using primary vault.
- Set the number of days to retain files in the trash. NOTE: When deleting folders, all of the contents of its folder and subfolders are moved to the trash and the folder structure is permanently lost. For this reason, folder deletion requires validating the active Keychain.
- When sharing content to Infinity Vaults from another app, set whether to import to the Security Box (default) or to the Primary Vault on your Primary Keychain.
- Enable allowing opening the Camera with a widget without authenticating if the app was previously opened but in the background.
- Enable logging for debugging purposes if you are experiencing an issue. This is used to send logging to our support team. For privacy, it is recommended to keep this off unless you need to send logs.
- Export your encryption key in case you need it to recover data outside of the app at a later time. You will need to provide your passphrase to retrieve the key.
- Enable “Erase Data After Failed Attempts” in Global Security settings (Professional) and choose the attempt threshold. Setting a Keychain Recovery Email is recommended so a forgotten key can be recovered instead of counted.
- Edit the name or keys of the active Keychain. The keys and name must be unique.
- Set a recovery email for each Keychain. Without this value set, a keychain CANNOT be recovered. If using this feature, ensure an email address that is secure is used as this will allow bypassing your standard security mechanisms and can be a risk.
- Enable Panic Mode to close all screens and lock the app when your device is placed face down. Set an optional iOS system app to open when this is performed.
- Set the Geofence radius (in meters). This defaults to 50 meters and is only enabled if you specify it on your Keychain.
- Set the Hue, Saturation, Brightness, and Background Image Opacity for the dashboard background and accents colors used in each Vault. This can help you distinguish each Vault.
- Set the Prominence of accent colors used on action buttons, borders, and highlights. 100% uses the brightest accent, 0% matches the theme color exactly, and values in between blend the two.
- Enable “Search Bar at Bottom” to move the search bar out of the title bar and onto a floating pill within reach of your thumb. It applies to every screen that has a search bar.
- Set the number of items in each row on the Media / Files / Audio collections.
- Enable showing a prompt to delete items that are imported from Photos or Files.
- Disable background audio or video. When disabled, Video Picture In Picture and listening to Podcasts or other Audio in the background will not be supported.
- Set the zoom for double tapping on images and videos in the app Gallery.
- Set the seconds per slide when running a slideshow in the app Gallery.
- Update capture settings for the Camera.
- Assign functions to volume up/down press and long press for the Camera.
- Clear Browser Data. These settings affect all tabs in a Vault.
- Set the Search Engine to use when searching in the URL bar and update the default User Agent used on all tabs when the Browser is opened.
- Adjust specific behavior settings of the Browser. Origin URL can be found on the info screen for downloaded Media / Audio / Files.
- Clear Downloads and set retention behavior.
- Access Miscellaneous features such as viewing FAQs, etc., rating the app on the App Store, Sharing the app with friends, sending support logs, and seeing the current Build version.
- The Action button (+) provides additional tools to restart the app, restore from a raw backup (starts a WebDAV server to allow overwriting raw files and starts recovery process), and resetting all settings.
- NOTE: For users concerned about data backup separate from iTunes/iCloud backup, you are encouraged to use the WebDAV feature periodically and backup raw files to a secure hard drive. You can then use the Restore from Backup feature as necessary to copy these files back to your device and start the recovery process. This can also be used to transfer all app data to another device.
Reminders
Create and manage reminders.
- Set an identifier, description, reference URL, date, repeat schedule, sound enabled, and completed state.
- Repeat hourly, daily, on weekdays, on weekends, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
- Optionally sends local notifications to remind you of upcoming events.
- Pull down on a notification to Snooze for 15 minutes without opening the app, or choose Done to mark the reminder complete. Because the Vault is locked in the background, a completion is applied the next time you unlock and open the Vault.
- Swipe a reminder in the list to mark it done or put it back.
- Reminders show a friendly due date such as “Tomorrow 9:00 AM”, and anything past due is shown in red. Completed reminders are dimmed and struck through.
- Use the action menu to sort by due date or arrange manually, and to hide or show completed reminders. Both choices are remembered.
Contacts
Import and manage your contacts with detailed information.
- Supports photo, prefix, first, middle, and last name, suffix, nickname, phonetic spellings, pronouns, company, job title, department, birthdate, anniversary, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, website URLs, social accounts, related names, and notes.
- Import from the iOS Contacts app or from a vCard (.vcf) file. Export any contact as a vCard from the action menu.
- Add related names such as spouse, parent, child, or manager, each with its own label, and any number of dates such as an anniversary.
- Sort the list by first or last name from the filter menu in the nav bar.
- Click on fields to copy or interact with phone numbers, URLs, addresses, etc. Phone numbers and email addresses also offer FaceTime Video and FaceTime Audio.
- Viewing a contact shows a header card with the photo, full name, job title, and company, plus quick buttons for Call, Message, Email, and FaceTime. Tap the name to copy it.
- Viewing a contact shows only the fields that have been filled in. Switch to edit mode to see and change everything.
Wallet
Store and manage your IDs and cards.
- Supports photo, name, type, description, number, expiration date, issue date, CVC, and address.
- The card type and icon are detected automatically from the card number for Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Choose the type manually for IDs, passports, and membership cards.
- Card and billing address fields support iOS AutoFill, so a card already saved on your device can be filled in rather than typed. Long press a field to use it.
- Store a PIN and a support phone number to call if the card is lost, plus free form notes.
- Choose “Show Barcode” when viewing a card to display its number as a scannable barcode and QR code. The screen brightens automatically so a scanner can read it.
- Cards past their expiration date are marked with a red dot in the list, and the filter menu can show only expired cards. Filter by card type as well, where Credit Card covers VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
- Click on fields to copy or interact with phone numbers, URLs, addresses, etc.
- Viewing a card shows only the fields that have been filled in. Switch to edit mode to see and change everything.
Browser
Infinity Vaults has a custom private browser that builds on the many great features of the standard Safari app on iOS.
- Supports multiple tabs with individual privacy for each tab. Each tab has its own history, cache, and cookies. When a tab is deleted, its history, cache, and cookies are deleted. Refine the behavior in settings.
- Access tabs by choosing “Show Tabs” in the action menu or swiping up on the URL bar. Swipe left/right on the URL bar to change tabs or create a new tab if swiping left on the last tab. Long press on tabs to drag and re-arrange.
- Expand fullscreen and hide the control bar and nav bar by choosing “Hide Controls” in the action menu or swiping down on the URL bar. When videos are playing, fullscreen mode will show a frame capture button. You can long press on this button to start/stop live recordings as well.
- Navigate web pages with back, forward, and refresh. Long press on back/forward to jump to items or on refresh to reload the page with a different User Agent.
- Use the share button to Save and share rendered pages as PDFs, save a webpage as a Web App, or take screenshots of the visible page.
- Use the book button to open Settings, open Media/Files/Audio, open Reader Mode, paste a copied URL, clear browser data, navigate to the domain root for a webpage, manage history, view webpage source, view RSS feeds, and manage bookmarks.
- Long press on photos, videos, and file links to download to the app storage. NOTE: Due to terms of use restrictions, some webpages will have this disabled.
- When browsing pages with videos, a video button will appear when a video starts playing. It provides tools for recording live streams (HLS to MP4), capture video frames as images, downloading non-live videos, opening in a new tab, and copying URLs.
- Shake to reload page and scroll to the top.
- Use Short Links like fb@username or ig@username to navigate to users on common social networks.
- Zoom with your thumb by dragging up/down along the lower left edge of the active tab. A green bar will appear showing the zoom level.
- Collapse the navigation row into a single URL bar using the chevron at the right of the URL field, giving the page more room. Tap it again to bring the row back. Your choice is remembered the next time you open the browser.
- When “Require VPN for Browser” is enabled in Security settings and your VPN drops, pages stop loading and a paused screen appears. Browsing resumes on its own as soon as the VPN reconnects.
- Choose a “Network Status Server” in Browser settings to see what the internet sees for your device. Mullvad is selected by default, and choosing Disabled removes the feature from every menu. While a server is selected, a “Network Status” option appears in the browser Tools menu, the social file Tools menu, and directly below the server setting. Each check first asks you to confirm the exact server it will contact, then sends a single request over an encrypted connection with no cookies and shows the public address, country, city, and network that server observed. With a working VPN those values belong to the VPN exit, and if the VPN has dropped your real connection shows instead. Nothing from the check is stored.
Downloads
Manage downloaded media / audio /files.
- Shows progress on downloads.
- Supports cancelling and restarting stalled / failed downloads.
- Click on a completed download to navigate to it directly (as long as the file still exists on your device).
- The Upload feature mentioned previously for adding files to your Cloud Vaults operates in a near identical manner.
Passwords
Securely store your passwords and credentials.
- Supports identifier, username, password, domains, and notes.
- Can be used within the in-app browser for quick login access. When selecting a login/password field, a bar will appear above your keyboard when a matching domain password exists.
- Tap to copy values if you want to use them outside of the app. Tap a domain while viewing to copy it or open it in the browser.
- Search matches the name, username, and any stored domain. The list shows the first domain in parentheses after the name.
- A strength rating is shown on the password line itself and updates as you type, along with the date the password was last changed. An eye button on the same line shows or hides the password in both viewing and editing modes.
- Choose “Generate Password” while editing to open the generator, where you can set the length and whether to include uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Your choices are remembered.
- When you change a password, the previous one is kept in a Password History section visible while viewing, holding the last ten. Old passwords stay masked and behave like the password field: tap to copy, or use the eye to reveal.
- Store a two-factor setup key and the app will show a live verification code while viewing, with a countdown to the next one. Tap the code to copy it. Scan the QR code the service shows you, or paste an “otpauth://” setup link, and the key, issuer, digit count, period, and algorithm are all filled in for you.
- Keep your two-factor backup codes alongside the setup key so they are not lost if you change phones.
- Store security questions and answers. Answers stay masked in the list; tap to copy or use the eye to reveal. Clearing both fields removes the entry.
- Viewing a password shows only the fields that have been filled in. Switch to edit mode to see and change everything.
Media / Audio / Files
Organize your files with ease and advanced features.
- Manage files in collections with grid and folder structure (folders can be password-protected).
- Folders can be added within folders system to a desktop operating system. Folders can be moved once created.
- Add new content via Import Media or Open Camera
- Permanently reorder items in reverse, random order, by date created, by file size, or by file name. NOTE: Folders will always be at the top and are not affected by reordering.
- Tap the green “Tools” button to enter editing mode.
- For folders in editing mode, tap the red delete button to delete a folder or tap on a folder for more options like Delete, Edit, Edit Icon, and Move. Drag to re-order.
- For other items in editing mode, many powerful features are available to explore listed below.
- Select individual items by tapping each file or choose select All.
- Export items via the system Share Sheet, macOS iTunes File Sharing, batch files via WebDAV, or download individual files via the Web Exporter.
- Copy/Move files to other folders or sections of the app. To move items between Vaults, first move items to the “Security Box” found in the upper right.
- Each Vault and the Security Box have their own trash. Deleted files will be moved to the Trash. Professional users can recover files from the trash. NOTE: Folders are deleted immediately and not moved to the trash. Adjust retention behavior in settings.
- Perform bulk updates such as favoriting, adding/removing tags, hiding/revealing, moving to trash, etc.
- Tag your whole library at once with Scan for Untagged Media in Media settings (Professional). It covers photos and videos, reports how much of the Vault is untagged before it starts, shows progress, and can be cancelled at any point. Recognition runs entirely on-device and nothing about your media leaves the device.
- Clear All Tags in Media settings removes every tag in the current Vault and makes its media eligible for tagging again.
- Select the options button to access features like merging videos and merging images in to a slideshow video.
- Search automatic tags in your own language. Tags are stored independently of language, so switching your device language re-labels them instantly without re-scanning.
- Tag search is forgiving. If what you typed does not match a tag exactly it tries the root of the word, so “trees” finds Tree, and then looks for close alternatives, so “automobile” finds Car. This only ever adds results, never removes them, and it runs entirely on-device.
- Use the Filters button to filter by Keyword (searches filename, tags, notes, and origin URL), favorited, not accessed, tags, not tagged, type, and AI duplicate photo analysis. Temporary sort by date created, date last accessed, date modified, name, file size, type, random order, and visual perception (to further help finding duplicates). Set ascending or descending sort order.
- Filter by New to show items added in the last week.
- In the Audio section, filter by In Progress to find anything you started but have not finished, or by Completed to find anything you have played to the end. Anything past 95% counts as completed, so trailing credits do not keep an episode in your unfinished list.
- Save any combination of filters and sorting as a Smart Folder. A Smart Folder is a saved search rather than a container, so it gathers matching items from the folder it was created in and all of its sub-folders, and updates itself as content changes. Smart Folders are read-only, and opening a file from one shows its real folder path in the title bar which can be tapped to jump to that location. Use Update Smart Folder to save changes to its filters.
- When you add your first Podcast, New, In Progress, and Downloaded Smart Folders are created for you automatically in the Audio section.
- In the Audio section, add a Podcast by searching for it by name, or by entering its RSS Feed URL directly. Searches use Apple’s public podcast directory. In the Media section, add an MRSS URL to add a remote storage video feed.
- Podcast episodes are added automatically when a Podcast is added and are refreshed in the background when you open the Audio section, so you do not need to open each show to see new episodes. A green dot on the show artwork indicates unplayed episodes added in the last week.
- Swipe right on a podcast episode to mark it as played. The episode gets its check mark and a full green progress bar, which is useful when you have already listened to it somewhere else. Swipe again to undo it, clearing the check and setting progress back to the start.
- Imported MP3s will attempt to find ID3 data for rich display.
- In the audio section, you can create voice recordings/memos within the app, and trim or merge audio files.
- Convert WAV and other audio files to M4A to reduce their size while keeping music quality (Professional). From the player’s Edit menu you choose Overwrite or Save as Copy, and selecting several eligible audio files offers a bulk conversion just like Convert to HEIC for images.
- Filter audio by format (M4A, MP3, or WAV) from the filter menu to find files worth converting.
- Set your own artwork on audio files and folders from the Edit menu, choosing an image from your Media or your Photos library. The player, lists, and Now Playing update immediately, and Remove Artwork returns to the default.
- Transcribe audio recordings and podcast episodes to text entirely on-device (Professional, on supported devices).
- Imported Live Photos can be animated by long pressing on the image. NOTE: Live Photos can only be imported WITHIN the application by choosing “Import Media” and then “Import from Photos”. When importing live photos from the share extension, they will come in as a static image due to iOS limitations.
Gallery
Individual files are opened in the Gallery.
- Swipe left/right through pages to navigate through your collection. Swipe down to close the gallery.
- Export, copy, move, favorite, and delete files.
- Convert PNG/JPG images to HEIC
- Convert WAV and other audio files to M4A
- Convert Videos to GIFs
- Transcode videos to change the codec, resolution, aspect ratio, quality, or audio. Use Optimize Storage to automatically re-encode a video to a smaller file size while preserving quality.
- Convert a video to a Photo by saving a frame (the first frame, or the current frame while paused), choosing to overwrite the video or save the frame as a new copy.
- Use AI features such as iOS Image Playground, AI Upscaling (4x), AI Sharpen, auto-generate tags from objects in the photo, and repair thumbnails.
- AI Upscale and AI Sharpen run on a built-in model. Choose Get More Models from either menu to download higher quality image enhancement models, and each one you download appears as a choice beside the built-in model.
- Auto-generated tags are recognized entirely on-device and appear in your language. Running Auto Generate Tags again replaces the previous automatic tags for that file while leaving any tags you added yourself untouched.
- Videos can be tagged too. Running Auto Generate Tags on a playing video reads the frame currently on screen, so you can scrub to a representative moment first. Videos are never decrypted just to be tagged.
- Images containing a QR code show a scan button in the upper right corner. Tap it to see what the code contains, then open a web address in the private Browser or copy the contents. Codes are read entirely on-device and are never opened automatically.
- Send a file to AI directly from the Gallery. Summarize or Discuss its contents in a chat session, or Restyle an image into a new AI-generated version.
- Double tap to zoom on photos and videos. Pinch to zoom to a specific size/area.
- On videos, the controls bar supports a video frame capture button. When a video is paused with the controls hidden, you can also long press on the video itself to capture a frame.
- A favorite button sits beside the frame capture button, showing the current state. Tap to toggle it, or long press to choose one to three hearts.
- Use the options button to access features like AirPlay and Picture in Picture mode while browsing other media in the iOS system player or adjust playback speed.
- The same options button carries an Edit menu with Optimize Storage, Hide or Reveal, Trim, Adjust, and Crop. These are the same tools as the Gallery edit menu, so you do not have to leave the video to reach them. The video stops first, and options that do not apply to the file or the Vault are left out.
- Press and hold on a playing video to open the speed control, then drag up to speed up and down to slow down. A pill at the top shows the current speed and each step gives a small tap of feedback. Drag all the way down to 0x to freeze the video on the frame you are looking at. Lift your finger to keep that speed, and it stays in place when the video loops. Bring up the controls to use the same press and hold on a stopped video, since the frame capture button is there to take over.
- Use the seek bar to scrub location in the video.
- In the files section, you can open a wide variety of file types (some supporting editing) such as text files, PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, etc.
- Social and web files each keep their own private browser session, so signing in to one of them does not sign in the others. Use Copy Cookies from File in the options menu to hand a signed-in session from one file to another. Pick the file to copy from and the page reloads with that session in place. The copy is a snapshot taken at that moment, so both files carry on with separate sessions afterwards.
- Audio files open in a full player with artwork, show notes, playback speed, skip controls, a sleep timer, and AirPlay. Playback continues to the next item in the folder automatically, which can be turned off in Settings.
- Minimize the audio player to a floating mini player to keep listening while using the rest of the app. Drag it anywhere on screen, push it to an edge to tuck it away, tap it to reopen the full player, or close it to stop playback.
- For podcasts, use the transcript button to generate an on-device transcript, then tap it to switch between the transcript and the show notes. The button turns green while the transcript is showing. Long press it to delete a transcript so it can be generated again.
- Podcast episodes can be downloaded or removed directly from the player using the download button, which shows live progress.
- Playback switches between streaming and the downloaded file automatically, keeping your position, so an episode downloaded while streaming keeps playing offline.
- View file info like name, description, origin URL (for downloads), resolution, manage tags, and more.
- Advanced editing features for images, videos, and audio (filters/color adjusting, cropping, trimming, etc.).
- In Adjust, hide faces, license plates, and anything else you do not want shared. Pick a round, square, or wide blur from the sticker row, or the matching pixelate versions, then drag, pinch, and rotate it into place like any other sticker. Add as many as you need. Each one samples the photo underneath so you see the real result while you position it, and the edges fade out smoothly instead of ending on a hard line. Tap the badge in its upper left corner to step the blur radius or pixel size through four strengths. The badge shows a circle for blur and a square for pixelate, growing as the strength goes up. Strength is a percentage of the image, so it looks the same on a small photo or a large one, and zooming a shape covers more area rather than stretching the effect.
- Draw on a photo in Adjust with the Draw tool. It uses the system pen, pencil, marker, eraser, and color picker, with Apple Pencil pressure supported. The eraser removes your own strokes and never touches the photo. Your strokes are remembered while Adjust is open, so returning to Draw continues where you left off and undo still reaches earlier strokes.
- Start/Stop a Slideshow of content in the current folder.
- Use a photo as the background image on the dashboard.
- Choosing Hide will lock/obscure a file and will apply unique file-by-file encryption for extra security. Files hidden in a Vault with a password will require entering the Vault password to be revealed. This further protects files in the rare event that intruders may have obtained access to your iOS backups and passphrase.
