Some things are yours alone.
Cipher is a private vault for the photos, videos and documents you would rather not leave in your camera roll. Everything is encrypted on your iPhone and opens only with a pattern or passphrase you choose.
Not on the App Store yet. This page will link to the official listing when it exists.
Two passphrases. Two different vaults.
Cipher has no master password and no list of vaults. You draw a pattern or type a passphrase, and whichever vault it belongs to opens. Nothing on the lock screen says what else exists, so someone looking over your shoulder cannot tell whether you keep one vault or five.
Encrypted before it is stored.
Each file is encrypted on your iPhone before it is saved, along with its name and preview. The key is opened by your pattern or passphrase together with a key that belongs to your iPhone, so copying the files somewhere else gets a thief nothing readable.
- No account, no server, nothing to log in to.
- Not unbreakable, and not independently audited yet. The security page says exactly where protection ends.
A way back in, if you prepare one.
Cipher shows twelve recovery words when you make a vault. They are a key, not a copy of your files. To restore a vault on a new iPhone you also need an encrypted backup file you saved earlier. Neither works alone, and nobody at Cipher can open your vault for you.
Try it for seven days. Keep it for £34.99.
Cipher is free to download, and the demonstration needs no account. The seven-day trial starts only when you choose it and never charges you. Lifetime Pro is one payment, with no subscription. If you decide not to buy, nothing is deleted and you can still export your files.
£34.99 is the intended UK price, confirmed in the App Store at launch.
