Your first five minutes

  1. Draw your pattern

    Unlock by drawing a pattern on a 5×5 grid of dots, using at least 6 dots. Prefer numbers? A PIN of 6 to 12 digits works too.

  2. Write down your recovery phrase

    When you create a vault, you write the phrase down and the app checks it by asking for 3 of the words. We never see it and cannot reset it.

  3. Move your photos in

    When you import from your photo library, originals are deleted only after the encrypted copy is safely written, and only after you confirm.

  4. Save an encrypted backup

    Save an encrypted backup file of a vault to Files, a computer or a drive you trust. Only its 12-word recovery phrase opens it.

Before you switch phones

The hardware key cannot move to a new phone, so on a new phone, or a phone restored from a backup, a vault opens only with its recovery phrase. Keep the phrase safe before you switch phones.

AlbumVault is built for iPhone and Android. Move a vault between them with an encrypted transfer file and its recovery phrase.

On the new phone, restore before you set up a vault there: on the welcome screen, tap I have a backup file (on Android, Restore from a backup), pick the file and type the vault’s 12-⁠word recovery phrase.
