SwiftLocker Get the app

A private photo vault made for iPad

Updated

SwiftLocker is made for iPad as well as iPhone. Your folders sit in a sidebar beside your photos, and it works with several windows, drag and drop and a keyboard. It locks with a PIN of its own, plus Face ID or Touch ID. It's for anyone who keeps private photos and documents on an iPad.

How it works

  1. Install SwiftLocker on your iPad and set your PIN. If you have Premium, restore it from Premium › Restore Purchases.
  2. Pick a folder in the sidebar. Its photos, videos and documents fill the rest of the screen.
  3. Drag photos, videos and files in from other apps. Drop them on a folder in the sidebar or on the folder on show.
  4. Drag items out to give another app a copy. Dropped on another folder in SwiftLocker, they move there instead.
  5. With a keyboard, press ⌘I to import photos, ⇧⌘N for a new folder and ⌃⌘L to lock SwiftLocker.

Good to know

  • Several windows, one lock. Open SwiftLocker in more than one window. They share one lock, so a window going to the background doesn't lock another still in front.
  • A shield for each window. A window that goes to the background is covered at once, before the app switcher takes its picture.
  • One vault on both. With iCloud sync (Premium), your iPhone and iPad share one vault, end-to-end encrypted.
