Keep private photos private.
A simple vault for photos, videos and Live Photos. Your originals are encrypted and stored using the iCloud space connected to your Apple Account.
Most vault apps want to sell you another cloud plan.
You already have iCloud.
Stash Pic uses the storage you already manage through Apple. There is no Stash Pic account, no developer-run vault server and no recurring app fee.
Keep the full thing without keeping it all downloaded.
Stash Pic keeps a small preview ready for the gallery. The encrypted original can stay in iCloud and download when you open or export it.
Photos, videos and Live Photos belong together.
Browse everything in one private gallery. Sort it, filter it, change the thumbnail size and organise items into folders.
- Imports pick up again after interruption
- Large videos are handled in bounded stages
- Choose whether to keep or remove the Apple Photos copy
Your vault can rebuild itself after a reinstall.
If Stash Pic is uninstalled or offloaded by iOS, reinstall it and rebuild the gallery from the encrypted content and records stored in your iCloud. Your original vault key must still be available.
You can also make a password-protected recovery card and verify that it matches your vault key. Keep the card and password somewhere safe and separate.
What gets encrypted?
Your full-quality photos, videos and Live Photos. Smaller thumbnails and basic details such as dates, file types and filenames keep the gallery quick. They remain inside the app or its iCloud area and sit outside Stash Pic's media-encryption layer.
Made by someone who uses it.
Stash Pic started because I wanted this app on my own phone. I am going to keep improving it. If you have a useful idea that can be added safely, send it through.
