Hushfold pricing: free for 150 photos and 15 videos, then yearly or once
Free to start.
Pay only if you outgrow it.
Try everything free. If you outgrow 150 photos or 15 videos, Unlimited lifts the cap — yearly with 7 days free and two taps to cancel, or once, for good. Whatever you decide, your photos stay yours: viewing, exporting and deleting never need a purchase.

Questions people ask before they trust a vault.
I forgot my master password. Can you reset it?
No — and that is the design. Use the 12-word recovery phrase you saved when you set up the vault: on the lock screen, tap “Forgot password? Use the recovery code”. Without the password or the phrase, nobody can decrypt your data, including us.
I have a new iPhone. How do I get my vault back?
Install Hushfold, tap “I already have a backup” on the first screen, choose “In my iCloud”, then enter your master password. You need the same Apple ID and to have had iCloud backup switched on. Photos and videos arrive afterwards in the normal sync.
Where did my photos go after importing?
If you turned on “Remove originals from Photos”, iOS moved them to Recently Deleted, where they stay for 30 days. The encrypted copies are in your vault. The switch is off by default and asks once after your first import.
Does compression hurt quality?
The app refuses to keep a compressed copy unless it is at least 15% smaller and passes a quality check (PSNR ≥ 34 dB). You always compare both versions before deciding, and the original stays in Trash for 30 days.
Can Hushfold block screenshots?
No app on iOS can block a still screenshot, and Hushfold does not claim to. It detects one and warns you immediately. Screen recording and mirroring are blocked: while either is active the whole app is covered by a shield.
Can Apple read my iCloud backup?
Apple stores ciphertext. Your vault key stays on your device, wrapped by your master password, and the backup lives in your own private CloudKit database inside your Apple account. We have no access to it and no way to request it.
I bought Unlimited but the limit is back.
Open the purchase screen (gear → Hushfold Unlimited) and tap “Restore purchases”. The purchase is tied to your Apple ID, so make sure you are signed in with the one you bought it on.
Is Unlimited a subscription?
Your choice. Yearly ($24.99, with a 7-day free trial) and weekly ($2.99) renew until you cancel them in your Apple ID settings. Lifetime ($34.99) is one payment that never renews. All three unlock exactly the same thing, and viewing, exporting and deleting never depend on any of them.
What happens if I stop paying?
Nothing is taken away. Everything you saved stays viewable, exportable and deletable. The only thing that comes back is the free cap on adding new photos and videos.
Does deleting the app delete my photos?
Yes — the vault lives inside the app, and iOS removes it with the app. That is exactly why there are two free ways out: turn on encrypted iCloud backup, or export the whole vault to one .hushfold file first. Do one of them before you delete.
I reset my phone. Can I get my photos back?
If iCloud backup was on: reinstall, tap “I already have a backup”, enter your master password. If you exported a .hushfold file: import it. If you did neither, no — and nobody can, including us. There is no server holding a copy.
Does it work on iPad?
Hushfold is built for iPhone. It runs on iPad in an iPhone-size window, but there is no iPad layout yet.
Why are there no notifications?
A notification on your lock screen would announce what this app is to anyone holding your phone. Hushfold has none — not push, not local. Backup status is shown inside the app only.
