Features

No account, no sign-up, no server

You open Kryptis, set a passcode and start. There is no email to give, no account to create and no server where a copy of anything about you lives.

What it does

Kryptis has no account system. The vault is created on the phone, the key is derived on the phone, and every feature that needs the network, such as Burner Email or downloads, works without identifying you.

Why it matters

An account is a record. It links an email to a device, and often to the photos themselves. Several vault apps in the comparison require an email for cloud sync and list your identifiers or your photos as linked to you in their App Store privacy label. Kryptis cannot lose what it never collected.

What that means for recovery

With no account there is no password reset. Your recovery keys, twelve words shown at setup, are the only way to reset a forgotten passcode. Save them somewhere outside the app.

How the other apps compare

Works without an account, from each developer’s own App Store listing.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kryptis need my email?

No. There is no sign-up. Support can be contacted by email if you choose, but the app itself never asks for one.

How do backups work without an account?

Backups are encrypted files you save to iCloud Drive or a folder you choose, plus an optional automatic encrypted backup in your own iCloud Drive. Neither goes through a Kryptis server.
