Notes & rich text
Write freely with bold, italics, links and lists. Notes are first-class in Sealby — not an afterthought bolted onto a photo locker.
Features
Everything you keep, kept to yourself.
Sealby is a full vault, not just a hidden album. Store any kind of file, write real notes and organise it all behind a PIN — encrypted before it ever touches storage.
Photos & video
Bring in photos and videos from the share sheet or your library — each sealed with its own key. Delete the originals afterwards, or capture a photo straight into the vault.
Documents & any file
PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, archives — any file type is sealed in exactly the same way, with its own key.
Folders, tags & search
Organise inside each vault and find things instantly. All indexing happens locally on your device.
Multiple vaults
Keep separate, independent vaults — each with its own PIN and its own contents. Nothing leaks between them.
Encrypted iCloud backup & sync
Premium adds encrypted backup and seamless sync between your iPhone and iPad — still end-to-end, still an unreadable blob in the cloud.
Per-vault recovery phrase
Every vault has its own recovery phrase that only you hold. There is no master key — restore a vault whenever you need to.
Encrypted export
Take an encrypted copy of a vault with you for safekeeping. It stays unreadable without your key.
Lock on background
Sealby locks the instant you switch away, and the app switcher shows a blanked screen instead of your content.
Destroy all data
A fast, irreversible wipe for when you need everything gone — no traces left to recover.
A real writing space, sealed shut.
Most ‘private vaults’ stop at photos. Sealby treats notes as a primary citizen — formatted text, links and lists, encrypted with the same per-file keys as everything else. Capture a password hint, a journal entry or a 24-word recovery phrase, and it’s protected the moment you save it.
