Shadow Vault — your private notification inbox.
Tired of swiping away notifications and losing them forever? Shadow Vault captures every notification your phone receives and stores them in a secure, encrypted inbox so you can read them when you're ready — not when they ping.
KEY FEATURES
• Capture everything — Shadow Vault listens for incoming notifications and saves them locally, even when you're offline.
• Strong local encryption — Your inbox is stored in an encrypted SQLite database on your device. No cloud. No servers. No leaks.
• Biometric lock — Fingerprint or face unlock keeps prying eyes out, even if your phone is unlocked.
• Grouped conversations — Messages from the same app and sender are bundled into clean threads, so chats stay readable.
• Smart deep-linking — Tap a notification in the inbox to jump straight back to the source app and conversation.
• Read state sync — Open a chat in the source app, and Shadow Vault marks the matching messages read automatically.
• Offline-first — Everything works without a network connection. Your data never leaves your device.
• Multi-language — Supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and
Traditional Chinese.
PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY
Shadow Vault is built privacy-first:
- No account required
- No tracking, no analytics
- No cloud sync, no remote backups
- Notification content stays on your device, encrypted at rest
- You control your data — wipe the vault any time from Settings
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
Shadow Vault asks for Notification Access so it can read incoming notifications and store them in your encrypted inbox. This permission is required for the app to function. Notifications are processed locally and never
transmitted off your device.
ADS
Shadow Vault is free and ad-supported. Ads are served by Google AdMob
and are unrelated to your notification content. See our privacy policy for details.
