Choose your language
Select English, Français or Español during setup and configure your vault access.
Import your media
Add photos and videos from Apple Photos, Files or the Share Sheet. Importing from Apple Photos, Album Shield can also offer to delete the originals there once they’re safely copied in — you decide, every time.
Organize and enjoy
Use folders, tags, editing tools and built-in video playback. Export media whenever you need it.
Keep a separate backup of important media.
Album Shield stores encrypted media locally. It does not provide cloud backup or automatic restoration on another device. Export and back up important files before deleting the app, erasing your device or replacing it. Permanently deleted media cannot be recovered.
