Everything a covert vault needs.
🔐

AES-256 ENCRYPTION

Every file encrypted with AES-256-CBC before storage. Keys derived from your PIN using SHA-256 and stored in flutter_secure_storage. Zero plaintext on disk — ever.

🎭

DECOY VAULT

Create a fake vault that looks identical to the real one. Hand your phone to anyone — they'll see dummy files. Only your secret PIN reveals the real vault.

📸

INTRUDER DETECTION

3 wrong PIN attempts triggers a silent front-camera selfie. Stored encrypted. You'll know exactly who tried to get in, with timestamps and a full break-in log.

🖐️

BIOMETRIC + PIN LOCK

Unlock with fingerprint or face ID. Fallback to 4-digit PIN. The app requires authentication every time it's opened — no exceptions, no bypass.

🚫

SCREENSHOT BLOCK

FLAG_SECURE prevents any screenshot or screen recording inside the app. Your vault contents cannot be captured — even by malicious apps running in the background.

🗑️

SECURE FILE DELETION

Files aren't just deleted — they're overwritten with random bytes before removal. Makes forensic recovery impossible. Wipe your tracks completely.

📂

ALBUM ORGANISATION

Group files into albums. Set a separate PIN per album for an extra layer of protection. CovertX supports photos, videos, audio, and documents.

🗄️

ENCRYPTED DATABASE

All metadata is stored in SQLCipher — a fully encrypted SQLite database. The passphrase is your PIN hash. Without your PIN, the database is unreadable binary noise.

Show them
nothing real.

Two PINs. Two vaults. Identical UI. One real, one fake. Enter the decoy PIN and CovertX shows a completely different set of files — indistinguishable from the real vault.

Border control. Suspicious partner. Nosy colleague. Hand over the phone. They see the decoy. Your actual files never surface.

  • Completely hidden from any external view
  • No decoy label or indicator in the UI
  • Real vault inaccessible without the real PIN
  • Works with biometric unlock too

Know who
tried to break in. Always.

Three wrong PIN attempts. Silent front-camera capture. No flash, no sound, no notification to the intruder. Just a photo, a timestamp, and a log of every failed attempt.

You'll see exactly who tried to get into your vault — even if they deleted the app or factory reset the device. The evidence is encrypted inside CovertX.

  • Silent selfie — no shutter sound or indicator
  • Encrypted storage with timestamps
  • Push notification: "Unauthorized access attempt detected"
  • Full break-in log accessible from settings
  • Works even on lockscreen unlock attempts

// How CovertX works
01

INSTALL & SECURE

Download CovertX, set your 4-digit PIN, and optionally enable biometric unlock. CovertX creates your encrypted database instantly — no account, no setup form.

02

IMPORT & HIDE

Import photos, videos, documents, or audio files from your gallery or file system. CovertX encrypts them with AES-256 and removes them from your gallery.

03

SET DECOY (PRO)

Create a second PIN and populate a fake vault with harmless files. Anyone who gets your phone gets the decoy — your real vault stays invisible.

04

INTRUDER WATCH

CovertX silently monitors failed unlock attempts. Three strikes and the front camera fires. The photo lands in your encrypted intruder log — not the gallery.

// FAQ
Is my data ever sent to a server or the cloud? [+]
Never. CovertX is designed from the ground up to be 100% on-device. Your files are encrypted and stored in your device's internal storage. No upload, no sync, no backup to any server. If you lose your device without a local backup, the data is gone — that's the price of true zero-cloud security.
How does the decoy vault actually work? [+]
You set two PINs: a real PIN and a decoy PIN. When you (or anyone else) enters the decoy PIN, CovertX opens a completely separate vault with different albums and files. The UI is identical — there's no "DECOY MODE" banner or any indicator. The real vault is completely hidden and inaccessible from the decoy session.
What encryption does CovertX use? [+]
Files are encrypted with AES-256-CBC using keys derived from your PIN (SHA-256). The database is protected by SQLCipher with your PIN hash as the passphrase. Encryption keys are stored in flutter_secure_storage — Android's hardware-backed KeyStore. Even if someone extracts your device's storage, the files are unreadable binary data without your PIN.
Does the intruder selfie actually stay secret? [+]
Yes. Intruder photos are captured silently (no sound, no flash) and stored encrypted inside CovertX's private database — not in your device's gallery. The intruder cannot see or delete these photos. Only you can access them through the app's Break-in Log section.
Does CovertX delete original files from my gallery? [+]
Yes. When you import a file into CovertX, the original is moved (not copied) into the encrypted vault and removed from its original location. The file no longer appears in your gallery or file manager. If you later export it, CovertX decrypts it and places it back in your Downloads folder.
Is Pro a one-time purchase or subscription? [+]
CovertX Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase at $4.99. No subscriptions, no renewals, no hidden fees. Pay once and get all current and future Pro features indefinitely. There's also a 7-day free trial so you can verify everything works on your device before paying.
DEPLOY

Your files deserve to be
actually hidden.

Not "password protected". Not "hidden folder". Actually encrypted, actually invisible, actually secure. CovertX does what other apps promise.
