NullVault review
A budget-friendly mobile vault with hidden patterns, decoys, backups, and panic controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NullVault is a mobile photo and file vault for iPhone and Android. It encrypts photos, videos, documents, files, and notes locally, with separate vaults opened by distinct patterns rather than a visible master list. It suits people who want private storage for personal media and files, especially those looking for decoy vaults, recovery phrases, private capture, and local use without a NullVault account.
The Free plan includes up to five local vaults, 20 total items, one collection per vault, encrypted backup, and accent and pattern-grid customization. Pro Monthly, Pro Annual, and Pro Lifetime add unlimited vaults, items, and collections subject to available storage, along with controlled read-only sharing, duress vault configuration, and alternate app icons. The plan structure gives users a way to start with a small private collection before choosing a paid tier for broader capacity and additional concealment options.
NullVault’s feature depth centers on privacy controls and flexible organization. Users can import media, capture through a private camera, create albums and collections, search and sort content, and control exports. Automatic locking and background protection support local privacy, while encrypted backups provide a recovery option. iOS includes encrypted iCloud backup and controlled read-only sharing; Android supports portable encrypted backups and panic-wipe controls. NullVault is a strong fit for security-focused users who value hidden access patterns and device-based storage. Users who need more than 20 items without a paid plan, or who require the same sharing features across both platforms, should look elsewhere.
