An encrypted photo and video vault for iPhone and Android. Files are encrypted on your phone with AES-256, and your pattern unlocks a key bound to the phone's security chip, so guesses can't be run on another computer. Each pattern opens its own vault. Backups go to your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, keyed from a 12-word recovery phrase. No account, no analytics.

Could you build this?

Partial The encrypted vault UI and cloud backup are buildable, but correct key derivation, hardware-bound keys, and secure storage across iOS and Android require security engineering that vibe coding can get subtly wrong.

What it would actually take: Build native iOS (Secure Enclave/Keychain) and Android (Keystore/StrongBox) apps that derive per-pattern keys, encrypt files with AES-256-GCM, and sync encrypted blobs to user-owned iCloud/Google Drive. The hard part is a sound key-management and threat model (e.g., pattern-derived key binding, brute-force resistance, memory handling), which needs an experienced security engineer and independent audit.
