In one paragraph
Mirage Vault is a private photo vault for iPhone that looks like nothing: a blank lock screen with no app name, a pattern grid that appears only under your finger, and a Home Screen icon that can be changed. Photos, videos, notes, scans and files are encrypted on the device with AES-256-GCM; the vault key is protected by the Secure Enclave, so a copy of the files cannot be guessed open elsewhere. There is no account, no server and no analytics. Encrypted iCloud backup is free, and an 8-word recovery phrase is the only way to restore it. Mirage Pro adds unlimited items, a decoy vault behind a second pattern, break-in alerts with a photo, disguise icons and a Wipe Key.
