A private vault for your documentsLock it.Share it.Take it back.
Scan a passport, a licence, a lease or a photo. DocuLock encrypts it on your phone, so we store only what we cannot read. Share a link that expires, limits how often it opens, and can be revoked.

Random-looking data. The key to read it never reaches us.
How it works
Three steps to a locked vault.
- Scan or importScan a document with the camera. Or import photos, videos, or a PDF. You can also use Save to DocuLock from another app.
- Lock itThe app encrypts the file on your phone. Add a PIN to a folder, or lock one document with Face ID. Then remove the original from your Photos app if you want.
- Keep it or share itKeep the file in your vault. Or make a link with an expiry date, a view limit, and an access code. You can revoke the link at any time.
Read the guides for each step in detail.
What it does
One place for the papers you need.
- Scan many pages at one timeUse the document camera, import photos, or add a PDF. The app straightens each page and keeps the pages together.
- Search the text in a documentYour phone reads the text. You can find a lease with one word from it. The app sends nothing to a service for reading.
- Reminders for each document typeA passport gives a warning nine months before it expires. An insurance card gives a warning one month before. Your phone plans the reminders and shows them at 9:30.
- Folders and sub-foldersPut documents in folders. Move a document to a different folder at any time. Use the Documents tab to see folders and documents together.
- Organize automaticallyThe app proposes folders by person and by category. You see a preview first. Nothing changes until you confirm.
- See what expires firstUse the By expiry view to see each document that has a date. The document that expires soonest is at the top. The view includes documents from all folders.
- Folders with a PINAdd a PIN to a folder. The PIN makes the key that seals the folder. Use Face ID as a second check if you want. The folder locks when the app goes to the background.
- Locked documentsLock a single document. To open it, use Face ID or your passcode. A locked document does not show in lists, in search, or in notices.
- A separate space for photosThe Photos tab has its own PIN and an Apple ID check. Make albums and use All Photos. Add photos and videos. Your photos stay out of the Documents tab.
- Save from other appsUse Save to DocuLock in the share sheet of any app. The file is sealed at once. You review it in DocuLock later.
- More than one deviceAdd a second phone when you scan a code. Each phone needs your recovery phrase and your Apple ID. A recovery phrase alone is not sufficient.
- Previews and page editsThe list shows the first page of each document. Replace, add, or remove one page. You do not need to scan the whole document again.
In the app
From expiry alert to revoked link.
Watch a passport go from a reminder on your lock screen to a shared link that opens a few times and is then taken back. Pick a step to jump to it.

Passport
Link ready
Send the link and the code by different routes.
Any paper
Kept the same way.
Leases, contracts, registrations, insurance cards and IDs go in the same encrypted vault. Each shows its first page in the list, can be searched by the words inside it, and reminds you before it expires.




All documents shown are made-up samples.
Sharing
Share a document, then take it back.
A shared link opens a read-only page in the browser. The document is decrypted there, on the recipient's device.
- Choose the rulesWhen it stops working (an hour to a date you pick), how many times it can be opened (five by default, or any number, or no limit), and whether a copy may be saved.
- Send the link and the code apartAdd a random access code like 5FY-D4T and send it by another route. Anyone needs both to open the document.
- Revoke any timeEvery link you made is listed with its views. Revoke one, and deleting the document revokes its links too.
What a link cannot do
- It cannot stop someone photographing their own screen. If you allow downloads, the copy they save is theirs.
- It cannot protect a link and code you send over the same channel.
Privacy
What we can see, and what we cannot.
We cannot read your files. This is true even if we want to.
- We cannot readYour documents, their names, the text inside them, your categories, or the keys that open them.
- We do holdEncrypted data, its size and when it changed, the public keys of your devices, and a one-way fingerprint of your Apple account so we can check it is you.
- We do not useAdvertising, analytics or tracking in the app, and no cookies on this site.
- You hold the keyA recovery phrase is shown once. Keep it safe: we cannot reset it, so no one at DocuLock can open your vault for you.
Where does the app read the text in a scan?
On your phone. The app uses Apple's on-device text recognition. The app does not send the pictures to a service for reading.
Can DocuLock staff see my files?
No. The app encrypts each file on your phone before it leaves the phone. We store the encrypted data only. We do not have the key. This includes the names of your documents and the text inside them.
Do I need an account?
You sign in with your Apple ID. We do not store your Apple ID, your name, or your email address. We keep only a one-way fingerprint of the ID, to check that you are the owner of the vault.
Does my Photos app keep a copy of what I import?
Yes, unless you remove it. When you import into an album, the app asks if you want to remove the originals. If you choose yes, the app deletes them from your Photos app. iOS keeps deleted photos in Recently Deleted for a time. Delete them there also if you want them gone at once.
Where do I find help?
Read the guides. They show how to set up your recovery phrase, add a phone, lock a folder, share a link, and delete your vault.
What if I lose my phone?
Install DocuLock on a new phone. Restore with your recovery phrase and your Apple ID. You need both.
What if I lose my recovery phrase and my phone?
You cannot recover your documents. We do not hold a key that can open them. This is the purpose of the design.
What if I forget the PIN of a folder or of Photos?
We cannot reset a PIN. The PIN makes the key that opens the folder. Keep your PINs in a safe place. A password manager can fill them in for you.
What happens if someone guesses my PIN?
After four wrong PINs, the app makes the person wait before the next try. The wait is 30 seconds, then 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and then 1 hour for each wrong PIN. The app does not erase anything. The wait stays if you close and open the app. A PIN with more digits is safer.
What does Sign out do?
Sign out locks everything on the phone. To sign in again, use the same Apple ID. The app does not ask Apple when you sign out.
Can I remove a phone from my vault?
Yes. Open Settings and choose Remove this phone. The app warns you if it is the only phone.
Can the recipient of a link keep the document?
Only if you allowed downloads when you made the link. If you did not, the page is view-only. A screenshot is still possible.
Is it free?
The price is not set. Early access is by email.
How do I contact you?
