Kryptis Private Vault

Features

Encrypted backup in your own iCloud

A backup is an encrypted file, made on the phone, saved to iCloud Drive or a folder you choose. Automatic iCloud Sync keeps that backup current in your own iCloud. There is no Kryptis cloud and no company copy.

Manual backup

Settings, Create Encrypted Backup. Kryptis writes one encrypted file containing the photos, videos, albums, encrypted contacts and Saved Emails in the current vault. Save it to iCloud Drive, a computer, or any folder outside the app. An optional extra lock adds your recovery keys to the file, so restoring needs both the passcode and the twelve words.

Automatic iCloud Sync

Turn it on in Settings and Kryptis keeps an encrypted backup of your media and contacts in your own iCloud Drive, replacing the previous one after each successful update. It is backup and restore, not live merging between devices. Turning it off stops updates but leaves the existing backup in place. Automatic sync is a Premium feature.

Restoring

Settings, Restore Encrypted Backup. Use the passcode the backup was created with, even if you changed it since, plus the recovery keys if the extra lock was on. Restoring replaces the current vault.

Frequently asked questions

Can Apple or Tuvo Labs read the backup?

The file is encrypted on the phone before it is written. iCloud stores an encrypted file, and Tuvo Labs never receives it.

Does self-destruct delete my iCloud backup?

No. Self-Destruct Mode erases the local vaults and keys. A backup saved elsewhere stays where it is.
