RevaultOpt a vault into encrypted local photo alerts after repeated failed patterns. Review the evidence only after unlocking that vault.
Download RevaultSecurity modelIf you want visibility into repeated failed unlocks on your device, you can enable break-in alerts for a vault. Camera access is requested while you are unlocked. The capture process can encrypt a photo without keeping your vault’s decryption key available.
The feature is off by default. After three failed patterns, the foreground app attempts at most one front-camera capture per minute. Normal operating-system permissions and camera indicators apply; capture is best-effort.
A public capture key wraps each photo’s random encryption key. The corresponding private key is encrypted under your vault’s master key, so viewing the photos requires successfully unlocking that vault. Captures never enter the gallery or upload to a server.
Each opted-in vault can reveal its latest ten encrypted photos. Alerts also appear in its activity view independently of ordinary logging. Disable new captures or clear this vault’s existing alerts in the dedicated settings section.
Break-in alerts add a camera-based response to repeated unmatched patterns. They are optional because camera permission and storing photographs are meaningful choices. Enable them from an unlocked vault, read the permission prompt and decide whether collecting such images is appropriate for how the device is used. Operating-system camera indicators remain visible; Revault does not bypass platform permissions.
The pattern screen intentionally does not reveal all available vaults. An unmatched pattern therefore cannot reliably say which vault someone intended to enter. The app makes a best-effort foreground capture after three failures, with at most one attempt per minute. A failed capture, a covered lens or a device without an available front camera can leave no usable image.
Captured images are encrypted locally and do not enter the ordinary gallery or an upload service. Unlock an opted-in vault to review its latest ten alerts in the dedicated settings section. Clear images you no longer need and disable future captures independently of ordinary activity logging. A photograph can show a person near the phone; it does not prove intent or establish who caused a particular action.
No. The capture design can encrypt a new photo using public capture key material while the vault stays locked. The private key needed to view the alert is protected by the vault’s encryption and becomes available after a successful unlock.
Capture is best-effort, rate-limited and dependent on foreground execution, permission and a usable camera. Another camera session, a denied permission or simulator limitations can prevent it. The feature does not promise an image for every attempt.
No. The alert photographs are encrypted and retained locally for the opted-in vault, with a bounded recent history. They do not automatically become gallery items or a centralized monitoring feed.
Choose the settings that fit your files, and keep a recovery plan before you rely on a single device.
Download RevaultCreate separate encrypted spaces on your phone. Each pattern opens only its matching vault, without a Revault account or sign-up.
Lock immediately when the app goes into the background, with a configurable inactivity timeout that defaults to 60 seconds per vault.
Review interactions with a vault on this device through an optional encrypted activity history, controlled separately for each vault.
