SilentLens locks your photos, videos, audio recordings, notes, scans and files in an encrypted vault on your iPhone. You don't need an account and nothing goes to a cloud. Every PIN opens its own separate vault.

What goes in the vault
Everything private, in one locked place.
Capture straight into the vault or import what you already have. It's encrypted the moment it's stored.
Audio recordings
Record voice memos and audio. Recording keeps going when the app is in the background.
Scans, PDFs and files
Scan paper documents or import PDFs and other files, and keep them next to your media.
Private notes
Write things down that should stay between you and your phone.
Metadata stripped
Photos taken in SilentLens have GPS and EXIF data removed before they're stored.
AES-GCM encryption
Your media is encrypted with AES-GCM. The keys are protected by Apple's security technologies.
Multiple vaults
One PIN, one vault. Any number of them.
Type a new PIN and SilentLens creates a new vault. Type another and you get another. Each one is completely disconnected from the rest.
- Enter a PINA PIN you haven't used before opens a fresh, empty vault.
- Fill itCapture or import content. It's only visible behind that PIN.
- Repeat when you need toSeparate work, personal and anything else into vaults that know nothing about each other.
There's no vault list anywhere in the app. Nobody can tell how many vaults exist, or open one, without knowing its PIN and unlocking the device.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Where are my files stored?
Only on your iPhone, inside SilentLens's encrypted vault. There's no SilentLens account, no cloud storage and no cloud sync, and the vault is excluded from iCloud backups.
How do multiple vaults work?
Each PIN opens its own vault. Entering a new PIN creates a new, empty vault. Vaults are fully disconnected from each other, and the app has no list of them, so there's no way to see how many exist.
What happens if I lose my phone or delete the app?
Because SilentLens has no cloud copy and no external vault backup, your vault lives only on that device. If you need a copy of something, keep it somewhere else yourself.
Does SilentLens collect any data?
No. The App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected.” See the privacy policy for details.
How is my content encrypted?
Media is encrypted with AES-GCM, and the cryptographic keys are protected using Apple's security technologies.
Does it remove location data from photos?
Yes. Photos captured with SilentLens have sensitive metadata such as GPS and EXIF information removed before they're stored.
Is it a subscription?
No. SilentLens is a one-time purchase on the App Store, with no subscription. The exact price depends on your country's App Store and is shown on the app's App Store page.
How do I contact the developer?
