No stored list or count of other vaults
An ordinary decoy opens a vault containing everyday material and leaves other vaults locked. The app or what you show may still draw attention. A decoy cannot guarantee personal safety.
Use case
Private documents when someone checks your phone.
If someone in your life goes through your phone, even a visible security app can make things worse. Sealby stores no list or count of vaults, but the app, visible content or copies elsewhere may still reveal clues. Put your personal safety first.
How can I keep documents safe if someone checks my phone?
Consider whether keeping sensitive material on this phone fits your situation. Sealby encrypts files and stores no list or count of vaults. Lock the vault when it is not in use. Visible content and copies elsewhere remain exposed, and someone may still notice the app or demand more access. A decoy cannot guarantee safety.
A place for what matters
Photos, screenshots, medical records, copies of IDs, important numbers, a plan. Kept together, encrypted, and there the moment you need them.
A last-resort duress PIN
An optional duress PIN (Premium) opens a decoy and removes other vaults from this device. Restore only backups completed before removal, using each vault’s recovery phrase. Unbacked-up changes are lost. Missing data or the app itself can draw attention; duress cannot guarantee personal safety.
If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Technology is one layer of safety. Local support organizations can help with the rest.
Common questions
What if I’m forced to open the app?
An ordinary decoy is a vault containing harmless material; opening it does not remove your other vaults. A configured duress PIN (Premium) opens that decoy and removes the other vaults from this device. To restore data afterwards, its backup must have completed before removal and you need each vault’s recovery phrase. Neither option guarantees a safe response from someone demanding access.
Will the app itself draw attention?
It might. Sealby is an installed app, and a person checking your phone may notice it or question what you show them. A vault has no visible list or count of other vaults, but that is not a guarantee that the app will go unnoticed or satisfy someone demanding access. Put your personal safety first.
