Safety Photo+Video is a mobile app for keeping selected personal photos and videos in a private library apart from the everyday photo gallery. Users can sort media into albums, mark favorites, and take photos or videos from inside the vault. Vault access supports a passcode or compatible biometric unlock, with options varying by device and app version. Separate album passwords and a second vault opened with a different password provide additional ways to control access. Files can be transferred through a browser over the local Wi-Fi network. The app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and includes 10 GB of storage with a free plan. Paid choices include iCloud Sync, storage plans with monthly or yearly billing, and a one-time Pro upgrade. With zero-knowledge backup enabled, media is encrypted on the device before upload and access requires user-controlled credentials or recovery information. The maker says private media is not used for AI training and expired cloud backup is retained for 90 days. The app is positioned for personal and family photos, private videos, identity documents, sensitive work media, and media kept on shared devices. Support is by email, with replies typically taking 24–48 business hours, Monday through Friday, 9am–5pm EST. The maker cannot recover an Encryption Password.
