On your phone only

Add papers, IDs and photos. Your phone encrypts each one and keeps it right here, offline. Then ask private AI anything about them.

iPhone first. Android right after.

Your pattern makes the key. AES-256 seals every paper, photo and video with it, so only your pattern opens them. Each pattern opens its own vault.

  • Draw it on the pad here: your browser runs the same lock as the app.
  • Copy a file out and you get random bytes without the pattern.
  • Forget the pattern and your 9 recovery words open the vault on your phone.

Vaulteo keeps no list of vaults. Under pressure, you draw a second pattern and show a vault that looks like the only one.

  • Draw any new pattern and fill it with harmless papers.
  • With Pro, mark one vault for duress: drawing it wipes every other vault on the phone.
  • Nobody holding your phone can count your vaults.

The AI runs on your phone. Vaulteo picks the model your phone can carry, and nothing reaches a server, ours included.

Let AI act.

AI adds to-dos, checks them off, and moves or renames papers when you ask. Every step comes with an undo.

Walk through it minute by minute, with your passcode in their hands.

    They see your beach trip. Nothing you moved into Vaulteo shows up there.

    They open Vaulteo.

    They get a pattern pad. No vault list, no count, no hint.

    They make you open it.

    You draw your decoy pattern. They see three receipts and a gym schedule.

  4. 1:30
    They guess more patterns.

    Each guess costs 600,000 rounds, and every new pattern opens a new, empty vault.

  5. 2:00
    They plug it into a computer.

    Your vaults stay out of every backup. Any file they pull reads as random bytes.

Every vault makes choices. Read ours before you move a single photo.

  • You get no cloud backup. Lose your phone and you lose the vaults on it. Export what you can't replace.
  • We can't reset your pattern. We never see it or your recovery words, so only you open your vault.
  • Older phones skip the AI. Without an on-device model, Vaulteo files papers with word rules.
  • Your photo app keeps originals for 30 days. After you move a photo, empty Recently Deleted too.

Can you, or anyone at Vaulteo, open my vault?
No. Your pattern makes the key on your phone through 600,000 rounds of PBKDF2-SHA512, and the key never leaves the phone. Vaulteo has no account and no server, so nobody here holds anything to open.
What happens if I forget my pattern?
Type your 9 recovery words. Vaulteo shows them once when you create a vault, and they open that vault on the same phone. Lose the pattern and the words, and nobody can open it, us included.
Does Vaulteo back up to iCloud or Google Drive?
No. Your vaults stay out of every cloud and every computer backup on purpose, so no copy sits on someone else's server. Export anything you can't afford to lose and keep it somewhere you trust.
Which phones run the AI?
iPhones with Apple Intelligence use Apple's on-device model. iPhones with 8 GB of memory can download Qwen 3.5 4B, and 6 GB iPhones Granite 4.2 3B. On Android, Vaulteo uses Gemini Nano on the phones that ship it, or an open model it runs on the phone. Older phones still file papers with word rules.
Does the AI send my papers anywhere?
No. Every model runs on your phone. Turn on airplane mode and ask a question: you still get an answer.
When can I get Vaulteo?
iPhone comes first, Android right after. Join the waitlist and we email you once, the day it lands on your phone.
What do I get for free?
2 vaults, each with room for 25 papers, 50 photos and 5 videos, plus 3 AI questions a day. Pro removes every limit and adds the duress pattern.
Can someone see how many vaults I have?
No. Vaulteo keeps no list. Each pattern opens its own vault, and any new pattern opens a new, empty one, so a person holding your phone can't count them.

Situation

Store tax documents on your iPhone and find any number in seconds

Scan W-2s, 1099s, receipts and returns into a sealed vault. Vaulteo's AI files each one by year and sender, and answers questions like 'what did I pay in property tax last year?' offline.

Situation

Someone knows your iPhone passcode. Protect your private files now.

A partner, a roommate or a thief who knows your passcode can open the Hidden album, locked notes and most vault apps. Change what you can, then lock the rest behind a pattern only you know.

Situation

You screenshotted your seed phrase. Lock it down today.

A seed phrase screenshot can sit in your camera roll and in iCloud for years. Find every copy, decide whether to move your funds, and keep your recovery words where no sync reaches them.

Guide

Store important documents on your iPhone without handing them to a cloud

Keep your passport, birth certificate, insurance cards and tax papers on your iPhone, sealed and searchable. Compare Files, Notes, Wallet and a vault, then set up the one that fits.

Guide

Your iPhone can run AI with no internet: Apple's on-device model and open models like Qwen 3.5 and Granite 4.2. See which iPhones run what, how fast they answer, and how to check that nothing leaves the phone.
