Use case
A phone search can expose sensitive files. Sealby encrypts files and stores no vault list or count, but opening a decoy does not guarantee that a demand for access is satisfied or that an encounter is safe. The app and other clues may still draw attention.
Carry fewer sensitive files and encrypt what you keep. Sealby stores no list or count of vaults; opening one does not list the others. Already-open content and copies elsewhere remain exposed. A decoy cannot guarantee compliance with an access demand or personal safety.

Encryption and device-search rules vary by jurisdiction and situation. Opening a decoy does not guarantee that you have met a demand for access. Check current guidance for your route and seek qualified advice where needed.
