Notes on this comparison

We compare published features, not independently tested security. A red cross earns no credit: the feature is unsupported, has a drawback, or is labelled “Not advertised” because we found no claim in the checked sources. “Not advertised” does not prove a feature is absent. An amber dash means documented partial support. A grey question mark is reserved for checks we could not assess and is excluded from the ranking score.

How does Calculator# compare with Sealby?

Calculator# hides storage behind a calculator interface. Sealby puts photos, files and notes in encrypted vaults with separate codes, no ads and no email reset.

What Calculator# is built for

  • Calculator disguise with several unlock methods
  • Many unlock options: calculator code, PIN, password, pattern, Face ID or Touch ID
  • Panic switch, disguise mode and intruder photos
  • Hides documents, contacts, to-dos and audio too; extras include a password wallet, notes, private browser and Wi-Fi transfer

What to consider

  • Its listing describes recovering a lost password through a registered email
  • The free version shows ads
  • No documented hidden vaults that leave no stored list or count

The honest verdict

Choose Sealby for account-free vaults without a disguise. Choose Calculator# if a calculator-style opening screen is important to you.

Common questions

Why doesn’t Sealby disguise itself as a calculator?

Calculator disguises are widely known, so a disguise is not deniability. Sealby is openly a vault and makes vaults themselves deniable: there is no list or count of them anywhere.

Can I move my photos to Sealby?

Yes. Export them to your photo library or Files, then add them to a Sealby vault with the photo picker or the share sheet. Sealby encrypts them on import, and you can then delete the readable copies.
