Obscura Photo Vault hides your photos and videos behind real encryption, entirely on your iPhone. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no internet connection required. If you forget your password there is no reset and no recovery, by design. The full specification and threat model are published at obscura-vault.com/security.
