What is in it

  • Vaults with separate passwords, plus 12 recovery words per vault
  • Per-file passwords that the vault password cannot open
  • Encrypted file names, not just file contents
  • No internet permission — the app cannot open a network connection

Known limits

  • Not yet run on a real Android phone. The encryption is checked against
    published test vectors and the whole flow passes an automated end-to-end test,
    but that test has only run in an iOS simulator.
  • Nobody can reset a forgotten password. Lose the password and the recovery
    words and the files are gone.
  • Adding a file copies it; the original stays where it was.

Requires Android 7 or later. Built for arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a.
