Separate password. Your own Google Drive — no new subscription. Core features free, forever.
No account. No subscription. No spam. Ever.
The Problem
Unlocks with Face ID or your device passcode. The same one your kid uses to open the iPad. That's not hidden — it's one swipe away.
Tied to your screen lock. Anyone who can unlock your phone can open it. No backup either — lose your phone, lose those photos.
Some offer a separate password — that's better. But there's no backup to storage you already have, or it's another subscription. They're closed-source: you're trusting their security claims on faith.
Doesn't back up to the cloud at all. Exists only on your device. Drop your phone in the ocean and those photos go with it.
How It Works
Select any photos or videos. Tuck reads them directly — no exporting, no file managers, no hoops.
Tuck encrypts everything with a password only you know — completely separate from your phone's lock. Encrypted files go to your own Google Drive. Neither Tuck nor Google can read them.
Once safe in the vault, remove the originals. They're gone from your camera roll — no trace for wandering eyes.
Security
Your photos are encrypted on your device before anything moves. Tuck never sees them. Google never sees them. There are no Tuck servers — there's nothing to breach.
Comparison
As a parent, I'd hand my phone to my kid and feel that split-second of anxiety — please don't scroll too far. I tried every option. They all had the same flaw. So I built this.
The core features work and I use it every day. But it's not perfect yet — and I'd rather be upfront about that than pretend otherwise.
The code is open source (GPLv3). Your feedback during beta directly shapes what it becomes.
