Photo Enclave — Private Photo Vault

What it does

Most "private" photo apps still ping servers or bundle analytics SDKs. Photo Enclave requests zero network permissions — literally none. Every photo is encrypted locally, invisible to your system gallery. Disguise mode (calculator, notepad, screensaver, sketchpad). Hidden Spaces where each passcode unlocks an independent album set. Cross-platform encrypted transfer between iOS and Android. One-time purchase. No subscriptions, no IAP, no ads. Solo project — happy to answer questions.

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
