What do I get for free?
- Two vaults. That is enough to set up a real vault and try a decoy.
- 100 photos and 10 videos. The caps count across all your vaults.
- Unlimited files, notes and folders. Documents and secure notes are not counted.
- Encrypted iCloud backup. Backup and the 9-word recovery phrase are included.
- Pattern unlock, auto-lock and the in-app camera. Nothing is held back from the free plan.
How do I start on the free plan?
- Install Cryptile from the App Store and open it.
- Draw a pattern. Use 8 or more cells, because a longer pattern is harder to guess.
- Write down the 9-word recovery phrase and keep it somewhere safe.
- Add photos, videos, files or notes with the add button or the share sheet.
- To try a decoy, lock the vault and draw a different pattern. It opens its own vault.
What does the free plan protect against?
- Anyone who finds the phone. Items are AES-256-GCM ciphertext, and keys come from your pattern on the device.
- A server breach. There is no account and no server, and the developer never holds your keys.
- Counting your vaults. Sizes are padded and decoy slots hide how many vaults exist.
What does the free plan not do?
- It has caps. After 100 photos or 10 videos you need Plus, or you remove items.
- It has no panic pattern or search. Those are Plus features, along with more decoy vaults.
- It cannot recover a lost pattern and phrase. If you lose both, the vault is gone.
- It cannot stop screenshots. Anyone with the vault open can capture what they see.
Plus costs $19.99 a year (7-day free trial) or $39.99 once, for one person. See the Plus page and the security page for details.
