Kryptis vs Calculator#

Calculator# leans on disguise. Its listing never mentions encryption, and the panic switch hides the vault rather than erasing it.

Frequently asked questions

What encryption does Calculator# document?

Calculator#'s listing does not mention it. No encryption wording in the listing. Kryptis encrypts every file and its metadata with AES-256-GCM on the iPhone before it is stored.

Does Calculator# have a decoy vault?

Calculator# lists something close: Fake crash message, not a second vault. In Kryptis a second passcode opens a separate vault with its own albums, and a third passcode erases everything.

Can I download videos from a link in Calculator#?

Calculator# lists it (Built-in browser to download files). Kryptis downloads public photos, videos and streams from a pasted link straight into the encrypted vault, without touching the camera roll.

What happens if I forget my passcode in Calculator#?

Calculator#'s listing does not mention it. Kryptis gives you a BIP39 recovery phrase when you set up the vault. It is the only way back in, and no one else holds a copy.

A check means the feature is documented, a phrase gives the documented details, and an X means it was not found in the reviewed sources. An X does not prove that a feature is absent. Kryptis is coming soon. App names, icons and marks belong to their owners.
