Version 1.0

Welcome to Bunker: private vaults for your photos, videos and documents, opened only by your Pattern.

Free for everyone

Encrypted vaults for photos, videos, documents and notes. Everything, including names, thumbnails and notes, is encrypted on your device before it’s stored. How it works.
Pattern lock on a 5 × 5 dial, with an optional Passphrase. A Pattern that opens nothing says so the same way every time. Pattern Encryption.
A Recovery Phrase for every vault, to get back in if you forget your Pattern.
Hidden Vaults, as many as you like, each with its own Pattern and no list of them anywhere. Hidden Vaults.
Document scanner with text read on your device, so you can search inside your scans. Scan & Search.
Secure Camera that saves straight into your vault, never to Photos. Secure Camera.
Free Encrypted Backup to your own iCloud, encrypted before it leaves the device, with a checklist for moving to a new iPhone. Encrypted Backup.
Screenshot and recording protection for vault screens (best effort), and a cover in the app switcher.
Receive shared vaults and be a trusted contact, free.
Free includes 3 Vaults, with 100 photos, 10 videos and 20 documents and notes in total.

With Bunker Pro

Unlimited items in every vault.

Duress Vault: opens normally and clears your other vaults from this device. Your iCloud backup still keeps them, and each comes back with its Recovery Phrase. Duress Vault.
Legacy Vaults with printed Legacy Cards: the number of trusted contacts you choose can open a read-only copy of one vault together. In this version they can do that at any time, so choose people you’d trust with it today. Legacy Vaults.
Vault Sharing: send a read-only, encrypted copy of a vault or a few items. Vault Sharing.
Slideshow for the photos in a vault.
Alternate App Icons that look like everyday tools. App icons.

Known limits in 1.0

Legacy Vaults have no waiting period yet: enough trusted contacts together can open one at any time.
A share link’s one-time use is enforced by the app; until you revoke it or it expires, anyone with the key could read the copy.
Changing your Pattern doesn’t lock out a copy of your data someone already took.
