Geode

Hide & lock photos and videos

Geode is a photo vault only you can open. Every photo and video is encrypted on your iPhone or iPad before it's saved or backed up, so no one else can see them: not us, not Apple, and not someone who picks up your phone.

No sign-up, email or phone number. No ads, no trackers, nothing sold.

For iPhone and iPad · Free, with in-app purchases

Hide photos and videos

  • Move photos and videos out of your camera roll. Geode checks that each one is safely backed up before iOS asks you to delete the original.
  • Keep original dates and places, or leave the location out.
  • Locked albums ask for Face ID every time they open.

Encrypted, and backed up to your iCloud

  • Every file gets its own 256-bit key (XChaCha20-Poly1305).
  • Backups go to your own iCloud, already encrypted. We never see your keys or your photos.
  • Vault Health shows what's backed up and checks that every backup still opens.

Only you can open it

  • Face ID or Touch ID, plus a passcode that's separate from your device passcode.
  • Forgot your passcode? A printable Recovery Kit gets you back in. We can't reset it, because we never have it.

Never held hostage

  • Opening and exporting everything is free, forever, whether or not you pay.
  • Export to Files, back to Photos, or as a password-protected .zip.
