Kryptis Private Vault

Features

Private camera, with face blur

Shoot inside Kryptis and the photo or video is encrypted into the vault without ever appearing in Photos. Turn on face blur and faces are detected and blurred in the captured image or the recorded frames.

What it does

The private camera captures photos and video directly into the vault. Nothing is written to the camera roll, so there is nothing to delete afterwards and nothing for iCloud Photos to sync.

Face blur

With face blur on, Kryptis detects faces and applies a blur to the captured photo or to each recorded frame of a video. You choose how much of the face is covered from the camera controls. Face blur works with stills and video; Live Photo capture is off while blur is on.

Why it is inside the vault

Every other route into a vault starts in the camera roll: shoot, import, delete, then empty Recently Deleted. A camera inside the vault removes that whole chain, and face blur means the file is safer from the moment it exists.
