A photo vault with a password completely separate from your phone's lock. Encrypted on your device, backed up to your own Google Drive. Free.
Free private beta · iOS & Android · 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 the photos and videos you want to tuck away. Pull them straight from your camera roll — no exporting, no file management.
Everything is encrypted on your device with a password you set — separate from your phone's lock. Then uploaded to your own Google Drive.
Once they're safe in the vault, remove the originals from your camera roll. No trace left for wandering eyes to find.
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.
