Free download with optional in-app purchases.
- Local vault storage
- No required cloud account
- User-controlled encrypted backup

More than a folder lock
A vault is only the entry point.
Cypher Stash keeps its surface restrained. Underneath it is a set of distinct tools designed for different access conditions, sharing needs, and recovery decisions.
Decoy Environment
Prepare a different response to a different access condition.
Maintain an alternate vault experience while keeping main and decoy files, contacts, and shared items separated.
Private Portal
Keep sensitive browsing apart from everyday activity.
Use a dedicated browsing space with its own state, wipe controls, and clear guidance about the limits of network privacy.
Air Lock
Stage only what another application needs.
Create a controlled boundary for outside-app workflows without opening the rest of the vault.
Encrypted Sharing
Choose what leaves and how it can be opened.
Use encrypted shared copies, password protection, and cleanup workflows to reduce unintended exposure.
Secure Contacts
Build trusted sharing relationships.
Keep the contacts and keys used for protected exchange separate from the phone’s ordinary address book.
Backup & Restore
Prepare for recovery on your terms.
Create an encrypted local bundle and place it in a storage location you choose.
Emergency Response
Make deliberate choices for urgent moments.
Configure location locks, quick-exit and Burn controls with clear consequences, confirmation, and responsibility.
Meet the Quartermaster
Engineering, translated into agency.
The Quartermaster is the interpretive interface for Cypher Stash. It does more than point to buttons. It explains what a capability protects, when it matters, what changes after you use it, and what responsibility remains with you.
“You do not need every layer on day one. You do need to understand the layers you choose.”

- Combine with
- Encrypted sharing and cleanup after transfer.
Capability without overload
Useful immediately. More capable as you learn it.
Cypher Stash does not require you to understand the whole system before protecting the first item. The learning path follows the moment when each capability becomes useful.
-
01
Immediate utility
Create the vault and protect something that matters.
-
02
Guided discovery
Meet a capability in the part of the app where it belongs.
-
03
Scenario training
Apply it to a short, concrete situation.
-
04
System integration
See how it works with the layers you already know.
-
05
Operational readiness
Understand the configuration you have built—and what remains yours to decide.
The system, made visible
Simple at the surface. Layered by design.
Restrained screens make room for the task at hand. Contextual training makes the relationships beneath them discoverable.
Honest security
Tools create options. Understanding makes them useful.
Cypher Stash helps separate private content and sensitive workflows on your device. It does not make a device invulnerable, make internet activity anonymous, or remove the need to secure credentials, exports, and backups.
