Free to start. No account needed.

In Hidegrid you can create several independent vaults. Each vault has its own pattern and its own encryption key, so opening one vault never reveals another. The free plan includes 3 vaults; Pro allows unlimited vaults.

How to add another vault

  1. Tap New vault

    From the vault screen, choose New vault.

  2. Pick a different pattern

    Use a pattern you do not use for any other vault.

  3. Save its recovery phrase

    Each new vault comes with its own nine-word phrase. Keep it somewhere safe.

Why it matters

Real separation

Vaults do not share a key. Knowing one pattern tells nothing about the others.

Show only what you choose

If you need to open a vault in front of someone, open the one meant for that moment.

Tidy by design

Use vaults for big groups and folders inside them for the details.

Plan limits

The free plan includes up to 3 vaults. Pro removes the limit.

Questions about this feature

Can two vaults use the same pattern?

No. Each pattern opens exactly one vault, so every vault needs a different pattern.

Does Hidegrid show how many vaults I have?

Vault names and contents are encrypted. The app shows a vault only after you draw its pattern.

Can I move items between vaults?

Yes. Open both vaults with their patterns, then move items from one to the other.

Duress pattern

Set a second pattern for emergencies. If someone forces you to open Hidegrid, drawing it quietly erases the vault.
