The photos are stored in your phone, encrypted throughout. There is no cloud, no account, no tracking. The original photos can be exported for free at any time.
Your photos truly belong only to you.
Arca is a private photo and video vault without a server, without an account, and without any tracking. All content is encrypted on your device with AES-256, and no data leaves your phone. No one, including us, can see your photos. Ever.
Why Arca is different
Many "photo vault" apps claim military-grade encryption while storing your photos unchanged. Arca is exactly the opposite:
• True AES-256 encryption: Each photo, video, and thumbnail is encrypted separately, and the key is protected by Secure Enclave.
• Zero-knowledge architecture: No server, no account, no cloud, nowhere to hack and no way to leak.
• Data always belongs to you: Export the original photos for free and losslessly at any time.
• Encrypted backup: Save an encrypted backup file to "Files" or iCloud Drive, and only your PIN can open it.
• No locking tricks: Imported photos can always be accessed.
Protecting what's important
• Hide private photos and videos with a 6-digit PIN and Face ID.
• The private camera shoots directly into the vault without entering the system photo album.
• Photo albums, personal collections, and a fast and beautiful photo gallery.
• IDs, documents, driver's licenses don't have to stay in the system photo album.
Serious security features
• Disguised vault: Enter another PIN and open a vault that seems to have no secrets.
• Intrusion record: Tells you who tried to unlock (but failed) and when, along with photo evidence.
• Disguised app icon.
• Auto-lock to block content in the app switcher.
• Erase location information when sharing.
