Sanctum vault — list view of encrypted files, bookmarks and notes

Four things, sealed.

What lives inside
01

Files & media

Images · video · documents

Imported files are encrypted immediately. The originals are securely deleted from where they came.

02

Secure notes

Private thoughts, kept sealed

Encrypted notes with Markdown support. Never stored as plain text — not for a moment.

03

Bookmarks

Browsing history, sealed

Save pages from the built-in private browser. No traces left behind on your system.

04

Passwords

Credentials, encrypted locally

Saved passwords are surfaced in the built-in browser exactly when you need them.

How it works

Unlock. Import. Browse. Lock.

01

Unlock your vault

Enter your vault password. Your master key is derived locally — never stored, never transmitted. It lives only in memory, only while you're inside.

02

Import and organise

Drag files straight into the vault, or save media directly from the built-in browser. Organise with folders, tags, and ratings — everything in one place, your structure, nobody else's.

03

Browse privately, save everything

The built-in browser runs in a completely isolated session — no history, no cookies, nothing left on your system. Save images, videos, or entire pages directly into your encrypted vault in one click. When you lock, the browser clears itself.

The security model

No cloud. No account. No telemetry.

Sanctum protects your data at rest. The cryptography is conventional and conservative on purpose — the kind you can read about and verify, not trust on faith.
