What Vaulty is
Vaulty is an Android private gallery app that hides photos and videos behind a PIN or password. Users can create separately named vaults for different media or selectively share access, and the app can capture a front-camera photo after an incorrect password entry. Media can be hidden directly from the gallery, including in batches, and organized into albums. Vaulty includes an in-app player, zoom and slideshow viewing. It offers automatic backups to the user’s Google Drive account and can restore media after a device switch or reset; the maker says backups are not stored on Vaulty’s servers. The privacy policy says Vaulty cannot access content concealed in the app, while Google Drive backups fall under Google’s terms and privacy policy. It also says the app may collect device and operating-system details, general location based on IP, and information provided to support. Vaulty is developed by Squid Tooth LLC and is available on Android; the maker says iOS is coming soon. The Free plan is free and includes ads and automatic Google Drive backup.
