Pick Privately if…
Privately suits iPhone users who want an on-device vault with encrypted media, locked albums and local text search. It is intended for devices running iOS 18.0 or later.
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.
