Hi Product Hunt, I'm a solo developer from Japan. Most of what I build is small, privacy-first iPhone utilities that keep everything on-device - a face-sorting album, a birthday-photo organizer, a camera that blurs faces and plates automatically. Still Box is the one that started it: a vault for the photos and videos you don't want sitting in your regular camera roll. The thing that bothered me about most "secret album" apps is that a lot of them quietly want a cloud account, a subscription, or both - which is a strange ask for an app whose entire pitch is "nobody else should see this." So Still Box has none of that. No sign-up, no server, no sync. Everything is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stays on your device; delete the app and it's gone everywhere, because there was never anywhere else for it to be. A few things I put real work into: - Every photo and video is encrypted at rest, not just hidden behind a UI lock. - GPS, device, and timestamp metadata gets stripped on import automatically. - Face ID / passcode unlock, with instant auto-lock the moment you background the app - no grace period. - Albums with custom names and icons, so you can actually organize instead of dumping everything in one pile. It's free, on both iOS and Android. I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried the other "vault" apps out there - what made you trust (or not trust) one with your private photos? That's the part I'm most curious about.
