| Fact | NullVault | Weave Vault |
|---|---|---|
| API and SDKs | The public documentation describes iOS and Android applications and does not identify a public API, SDK or developer integration surface. | The public product pages describe no public API, SDK or developer integration surface. |
| Backup | Android backups are encrypted exported files with a separate phrase; iOS backups use encrypted iCloud data. | Encrypted backup is opt-in, requires Pro, and stores ciphertext in the user’s iCloud or Google Drive; restoring does not require Pro. |
| Company headquarters | The developer address is Kodaňská 1441/46, 101 00 Praha, Czechia. | The maker identifies Hyderabad, Telangana, India as its base and registered address location. |
| Encryption | The apps use AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption for vault content and metadata. | AES-256-GCM seals imported files, thumbnails, metadata, vault manifests and key-wrapping headers before storage. |
| Google Play data safety | Google Play reports no data shared with third parties and no data collected, based on the developer declaration. | Google Play displays the developer declaration that no data is collected and no data is shared with third parties. |
| Headquarters | Prague, Czechia | Hyderabad, Telangana, India |
| Key derivation | Patterns are processed with memory-hard Argon2id key derivation. | Argon2id with RFC 9106 parameters derives a 256-bit key from the pattern, and HKDF-SHA256 creates per-item subkeys. |
| Licence | The App Store listing describes NullVault as using open-source libsodium but does not state that the NullVault application itself is open source. | The terms grant a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence and state that the source code and documentation are company property. |
| Product | NullVault stores private photos, videos, files, and notes in separate encrypted vaults, each opened with its own pattern. | Weave Vault is an encrypted vault for private photos, videos, and files. |
| Rating on Apple App Store | No rating overview; Apple says the app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display one. | Not enough ratings or reviews to display an overview |
| Recovery | Android supports device recovery phrases and portable encrypted backups, while iOS uses a 24-word recovery phrase with encrypted iCloud restore. | A vault’s 12-word recovery phrase is shown once at creation; if both the pattern and phrase are lost, the vault cannot be recovered. |
| Secure sharing | iOS Pro provides controlled read-only sharing with a separate sharing phrase and revocation controls. | Sharing creates a point-in-time encrypted vault copy opened with a one-time phrase and an expiry of up to 30 days. |

Pick NullVault if…
NullVault suits people who want separate, pattern-opened storage for private files and notes, including offline local vault use. It is intended for users with compatible iOS or Android devices.
Pick Weave Vault if…
It suits Android or iOS users who want a pattern-protected place for private files, photos, and videos. Users who need recovery should keep the phrase safe, since losing it along with the pattern makes the vault unrecoverable.
