The basics

How vaults work

A vault is an encrypted space on your phone. Here’s the everyday of it — open it, lock it, and make it yours.

The everyday basics of a Sealby vault: unlock it with a PIN, pattern or passphrase, lock it in a tap, and where its settings, size and files live.

Unlock

Type your PIN

Enter your secret and the vault opens. A wrong entry just shows a blank vault — there’s never a “wrong PIN” error.

Any method

PIN, pattern or passphrase

Prefer a pattern or a passphrase? Switch right from the keypad — each unlocks the very same vault.

Lock

Seal it in a tap

Tap the lock — or just lock your phone — and the vault closes behind your secret.

Settings

Size, files & options

Open Settings to see the vault’s size and files, rename it, change its PIN, and more.
