Vaulty
What Vaulty is
Vaulty is an Android private gallery app that hides photos and videos behind a PIN or password. It lets users create separately named vaults, hide files directly from the gallery in batches, and organize media into albums. If someone enters the wrong password, Vaulty can use the device’s front camera to take a photo. An in-app player, zoom, and slideshow provide ways to view stored media. Vaulty offers automatic backups to the user’s Google Drive account and can restore media after a device change or reset; the maker says it does not store backups on its own servers. Its privacy policy says Vaulty cannot access content concealed in the app, while Google Drive backups are subject to Google’s terms and privacy policy. The policy also says the app may collect device and operating-system details, general location based on IP, and information users provide to support. Vaulty is available on Android, and its maker says iOS is coming soon. The Free plan costs nothing and includes ads and automatic Google Drive backup.
Who it suits
Vaulty may suit Android users who want to keep photos and videos in a password-protected gallery, separate media into vaults, or back up to their own Google Drive. It may also fit users who want to organize media away from the main gallery.
