Notes & rich text
Write with bold, italics, links and lists. Notes are a core part of Sealby, not an add-on to 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 keep it all organized behind a PIN. Everything is encrypted before it’s saved.
Photos & video
Add photos and videos from your library or the share sheet. Each one is encrypted with its own key. Then delete the originals. Or skip the library and take new photos straight into the vault.
Documents & any file
PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, archives. Every file type is encrypted the same way, with its own key.
Folders, tags & search
Organize each vault and find things instantly. Search works entirely on your device.
Multiple vaults
Keep separate vaults, each with its own PIN and its own contents. Nothing is shared between them.
Encrypted iCloud backup & sync
With Premium, your vaults back up to your own iCloud, and the vaults you choose sync between your iPhone and iPad. It is off by default, and you turn it on for each vault separately. iCloud only ever holds encrypted data it can’t read.
A recovery phrase for every vault
Every vault has its own recovery phrase, and only you hold it. There is no master key. With the phrase, you can restore that vault from a backup or an encrypted export.
Encrypted export
Save an encrypted copy of a vault anywhere you like. It stays unreadable without your key.
Auto-lock when you switch apps
Sealby locks the moment you leave it. The app switcher shows a blank screen, not your content.
Destroy all data
One action wipes every vault on this device, for when you need it all gone.
Save from any app
Share a photo, PDF or file from Photos, Files or Safari straight to Sealby. The file is encrypted immediately, without unlocking the app. The next time you open Sealby, confirm the import and it lands in your vault. The share sheet only holds the key that locks files in, never the key that opens them.
A real writing space, sealed shut.
Most private vaults stop at photos. In Sealby, notes matter as much as files: formatted text, links and lists, each encrypted with its own key. A password hint, a journal entry or a 24-word recovery phrase is protected the moment you save it.
