01
Sealed at rest
Every photo and video is split into 1 MB blocks and sealed with AES-256-GCM. The master key is wrapped by your PIN and stored in the iPhone Secure Enclave — never in our servers, because we don’t have any.
For iPhone — encrypted on device
Your photos.
Encrypted on this iPhone.
Nowhere else.
Privately is a quiet little vault for the photos and videos that matter most. They’re sealed with a key that lives only on your device — not in our cloud, not in our database, not in our hands.

How it works
Built like a safe.
Felt like a photo album.
02
Locked albums
Any album can be given its own password. When locked, the photos inside disappear from the timeline, search, and favorites — not just hidden behind a tab. Optional Face ID for one-tap unlock.
03
Smart Search, on device
Find a screenshot by reading its text. Eighteen languages, 100% on-device — your photos never leave your iPhone for OCR, indexing, or anything else.
04
Encrypted backups
Export a single .privately file you control. Move it to iCloud Drive, an external SSD, anywhere — and restore on a new device with your PIN. We never see the bytes in between.
Our promise
We can’t see your photos.
We can’t recover them.
We can’t be forced to hand them over —
because we don’t have them.
