Hide your photos. Keep them forever.

Hideout locks private photos and videos behind a passcode and Face ID. Every file is encrypted on your iPhone and kept in your own iCloud — not on our servers. We don't have servers.

Hideout vault: a grid of private photos behind a passcode

Built for the look over your shoulder

Passcode + Face ID

A four-digit code and Face ID guard the vault. Forget the code? Face ID resets it and nothing is lost.

Your own iCloud

Files are encrypted with AES-256 on the device and stored in your private iCloud container. Switch phones and your vault is still there.

Private albums

Give an album its own code. Handing someone one album never opens the rest.

Decoy code Premium

A second code opens a harmless album, with nothing to suggest the real one exists.

Break-in log

Wrong codes are written down. With Premium, the front camera also photographs whoever typed them.

Plain icons

Swap the home-screen icon for one of four plain marks. Hidden from the app switcher, and you're told when a screenshot is taken.

Privacy, plainly

Can you see my photos?

No. They are encrypted on your iPhone before they go anywhere, and the key lives in your iCloud Keychain. We never receive your files and could not read them if we did.

Do I need an account?

No account, no email, no sign-up. The app has no analytics and no advertising SDKs.

What happens if I change phones?

Sign in with the same Apple ID and turn on iCloud Keychain. The vault comes back with every file.

Can I take my photos back out?

Always. Export is free forever, with or without Premium.
