Your photos and videos move into a vault only your pattern can open, encrypted on your phone with AES-256. No account, no cloud, no internet permission - so nothing you store can ever leave your device.
Free · No account · Vault contents never leave your device unencrypted
No servers to trust, no account to leak. Everything happens on your device - the way private should actually mean private.
Draw a pattern on the grid. It derives a 256-bit key that unlocks your vault - AES-256-GCM protects every photo, video and file inside.
Each pattern you set opens its own separate vault. Different pattern, different hidden space - with no visible list tying them together.
Umbra holds no internet permission at all. Nothing uploads, nothing syncs, nothing phones home. Your vault physically cannot leave your device.
Wrong pattern? Umbra logs the failed attempt - and can quietly capture a photo of whoever is holding your phone.
Forced to open the app? Enter a decoy pattern and Umbra shows a believable, harmless vault - while your real one stays sealed and invisible.
No analytics on your content, no account tied to your identity, no backdoor. Delete the app and the encrypted data goes with it.
Pick a pattern on the grid. Umbra derives a 256-bit vault key from it on your device - the pattern is never stored.
Import photos, videos and files. Each one is encrypted with AES-256-GCM as it enters and is stored only in encrypted form.
Close the app. The keys are discarded from memory. What's left on disk is unreadable without your pattern.
Most "hidden" galleries just prove you have something to hide. A locked folder is an invitation to keep asking. A calculator disguise fools no one who is actually looking.
Umbra doesn't open to a list of named vaults. Each pattern opens its own encrypted space - and a decoy pattern opens a harmless one, so you can hand over the phone without handing over your life.
Separate what the screen shows from what the device can reveal.

Umbra is a local-first encrypted vault for Android. It hides photos, videos and files behind a pattern and encrypts them with AES-256-GCM. There's no account and no cloud - the app doesn't even request internet permission.
Your pattern derives the key that decrypts the vault. If it's lost, the encrypted files can't be recovered - that's the trade-off for real encryption with no backdoor. Choose a pattern you'll remember.
No. Files are encrypted on your device and never uploaded. Umbra has no server and no internet permission, so there is no path for your content to leave your phone.
No account, no email, no sign-up. You draw a pattern and start protecting files.
You can set a separate "decoy" pattern that opens a harmless vault. If you're ever forced to open the app, you show the decoy while your real vault stays sealed and invisible.
Photos, videos and files. Everything is encrypted the moment it enters the vault.
Yes, Umbra is free to download on Google Play. Some advanced features may be offered as an in-app upgrade.
Encrypt your photos and videos behind a pattern in seconds. No account, no cloud, no internet permission.
