About this app

Your files. Your device. Your privacy.

DeadKey is a privacy-first encrypted vault for photos, videos, documents, notes, audio, and other sensitive files.

Unlike many vault apps, DeadKey never requires an account, never depends on a proprietary cloud, and works completely offline.

Everything is encrypted locally, so your data stays on your device and under your control.

Privacy by Design

Privacy isn't a feature—it's the foundation.

• No accounts required
• No cloud required
• No analytics or tracking
• No data collection
• Works completely offline

Your files remain yours. Always.

Built for Real-World Security

DeadKey includes privacy features designed for everyday situations.

• Securely store photos, videos, documents, notes, and audio
• Decoy Vaults for plausible deniability
• Wipe PIN support to instantly erase your vault if needed
• PIN protection with optional biometric unlock
• Automatic vault locking
• App Personas to customize how DeadKey appears on your device

Organize Without Compromise

Security should be simple to use.

• Create and manage albums
• Fast local search
• Beautiful dark and light themes
• Smooth, offline performance with no server dependency

Encrypted Backups—Your Choice

Need backups? You're still in control.

DeadKey can create encrypted backups that you store in your cloud service of choice. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your device, and DeadKey never has access to your files or encryption keys.

One Purchase. Everything Included.

No subscriptions.

No ads.

No feature paywalls.

Buy it once and own it forever.

Important

DeadKey does not provide account recovery or password recovery.

Your encryption key is derived from your PIN. If you forget your PIN and do not have an encrypted backup, your data cannot be recovered.

This is intentional and is part of DeadKey's privacy-first security model.
Your files. Your device. Offline encrypted vault with zero data collection.
