Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-09-15

By downloading or using Hushfold you agree to these terms and to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/), which applies except where these terms are stricter.

License

We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use.

What is free and what is paid

Free, with no limit and no purchase: notes, links and files; compressing one video at a time; disguise screens and alternate icons; Face ID and PIN; encrypted iCloud backup; and exporting an encrypted archive of your entire vault.

Free, up to a limit: 150 photos and 15 videos stored on the device.

Paid: Hushfold Unlimited removes that limit and unlocks three features: batch compression, the decoy vault and intruder photos.

Hushfold Unlimited

One upgrade, three ways to buy. All three unlock exactly the same thing; pick whichever suits you.

  • Unlimited Yearly — US $24.99 per year, starting with a 7-day free trial. Auto-renewable.
  • Unlimited Weekly — US $2.99 per week. Auto-renewable.
  • Lifetime — US $34.99 once (599,000 ₫ on the Vietnam storefront). Not a subscription: it never renews and there is nothing to cancel.

Prices vary by region and the exact amount in your currency is shown in the app before you buy.

How the auto-renewable plans work. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that point. Manage or cancel at any time in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the period you are in.

About the free trial. The 7-day trial applies to the yearly plan and to each Apple Account once. It converts to a paid year unless you cancel before it ends. If you buy a plan while a trial is running, the unused part of the trial is forfeited.

If a paid period ends. Nothing on your device is taken away or locked. You keep viewing, exporting, compressing and deleting everything you already have; only adding new photos and videos past the free limit stops, and the three Unlimited features go back behind the upgrade.

Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so reinstalling the app or moving to a new iPhone keeps them — use Restore purchases in the app. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple (https://reportaproblem.apple.com).

What a purchase never gates

Viewing, exporting and deleting your own data is always free — including items you saved before reaching the free limit, and including everything you saved if you later decide not to buy. The limit stops you adding *new* photos and videos; it never locks away what is already yours.

Encrypted iCloud backup is free for everyone. It uses your own iCloud storage inside your own Apple account, so there is nothing for us to sell you.

Your keys are your responsibility

Hushfold encrypts your data with a key derived from your master password. We do not have your password, your key or your recovery phrase, and we have no server that holds them. If you lose them, nobody can recover your data — including us. Keep your recovery phrase somewhere safe and separate from your phone.

Acceptable use

Do not use the app for unlawful purposes, to store content you have no right to possess, or to reverse engineer or interfere with it.

Disclaimers

The app is provided "as is", without warranties. Video compression re-encodes your video; the original is kept in Trash for 30 days so you can undo, after which it is permanently deleted. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the preceding 12 months.

Changes & contact

We may update these terms; continued use means acceptance. Contact: support@hushfold.app
