An encrypted vault for iPhone and iPad

Free for up to 50 files. Pro is a one-time purchase.
Review shared files before importing them into your vault.
File contents and names are encrypted on device.
Backups go to a folder you choose.
No PRIVA account is required.
A simple file workflow
Choose what goes in. Choose where backups go.
PRIVA encrypts selected files in its vault. You decide which files to import and where an encrypted backup should go.
Store it encrypted
PRIVA encrypts file contents and names in the vault on your device.
Back up when you choose
Write an encrypted backup to a folder you select in Files. The provider handles any remote upload.
Made for personal files
Keep files private from import through recovery.
The core privacy tools are included in Free. Pro changes the file-count limit.
Encrypted contents and names
PRIVA uses AES-GCM encryption for vault files and file-name metadata.
Import from Photos, Files and Share
Some direct imports can remove the original after the encrypted copy succeeds. Photos asks before deletion and keeps items in Recently Deleted. The Share extension leaves the source unchanged.
Backups to a folder you select
Backup runs while PRIVA is open and unlocked. A completed folder write does not confirm that a cloud or NAS upload has finished.
Recovery with your 12-word phrase
Restoring a vault requires its encrypted backup and recovery phrase. Keep them in separate places.
Hidden items and a 30-day Trash
Hidden items use the same vault protection. Deleted items stay in Trash for 30 days before permanent deletion.
Straightforward plans

Questions people ask
Know what happens to your files.
Can PRIVA access my vault?
PRIVA has no server for vault contents. Vault files and names are encrypted on your device. Apple and any provider you choose for backups handle their own services under their policies.
What if I forget my passcode?
Restore from an encrypted backup with your 12-word recovery phrase. Without the phrase, the developer cannot recover the vault for you.
Is PRIVA Pro a subscription?
Pro is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that removes the file-count limit. Apple processes the purchase and provides purchase restoration.
Does a backup mean my files are in the cloud?
PRIVA writes the encrypted backup to the folder you select. That write does not confirm that the provider has completed a remote upload.
