Compare Hidegrid with other vault apps

Fact-checked, side-by-side comparisons. We list what other apps do well, too.

Most photo vault apps lock with a PIN and do not say how they encrypt files. Hidegrid unlocks with a 5×5 pattern that creates its encryption key, publishes its encryption design (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations), needs no account and backs up to your own iCloud.
