Le paradoxe de l'obligation de compte

Keepsafe asks you to create an account with your email address before you can use the app. Think about that for a moment: a privacy app that requires personally identifiable information before it will protect your files. Your email is now linked to the fact that you use a photo-hiding app, stored on Keepsafe's servers alongside your usage metadata.

Vaultaire has no account system. There is no sign-up screen, no email field, no password to create. You draw a pattern, and the app derives an encryption key. The app does not know who you are, and it does not need to.

Risques de dépendance au cloud

Keepsafe's cloud backup feature stores your photos on their infrastructure. This creates multiple risk vectors: server breaches expose your files, service outages block access, and company shutdown means your data could disappear entirely. Their "military-grade encryption" claim is difficult to verify because the encryption happens on their servers, not your device.

Vaultaire's backup goes through iCloud, but the files are encrypted on your device before upload. Apple transports encrypted blobs -- they cannot read them, and neither can anyone who compromises iCloud. If you stop using Vaultaire, your recovery phrase lets you decrypt everything locally.

Prix vs valeur

Keepsafe Premium costs $9.99/month or $23.99/year. For that price, you get cloud storage on their servers, ad removal, and some fonctions supplémentaires d'organisation. Le modèle de sécurité fondamental ne change pas entre gratuit et premium -- les deux niveaux utilisent l'authentification par compte plutôt que le chiffrement local.

Vaultaire Pro costs $2.99/month, $14.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime. The free tier already includes Chiffrement AES-256-GCM -- the same cryptographic standard used by the paid tier. Pro adds unlimited vaults, the duress vault, Sauvegarde iCloud, and sharing. The security architecture is identical at every price point.

Propriété des données

When your photos live on Keepsafe's servers, you are trusting a third party with your most private files. Their politique de confidentialité governs what they can do with your data. If they are acquired, pivot their business model, or receive a legal request, your files are in someone else's hands.

Vaultaire files never leave your device unless you explicitly enable Sauvegarde iCloud -- and even then, they are encrypted before upload. There is no third-party server, no terms of service governing your files, and no entity that can access your data without your pattern. You own the encryption keys. You own the data.
