📷 Capture straight into the vault

Private Camera for Android

Shoot photos and videos that go directly into Lockilee's encrypted vault — they never touch your phone's regular camera roll or public gallery.

Importing after the fact leaves a trail

Even if you move a photo into a vault right after taking it, it briefly existed in your regular gallery first — long enough to be backed up, thumbnailed, or seen in a quick glance at your recent photos. For some photos and videos, that brief window is exactly what you're trying to avoid.

Lockilee's Private Camera skips that step. It captures the photo or video and encrypts it directly into the vault, with no intermediate copy in shared storage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do photos taken with the Private Camera ever appear in my gallery?

No. They're encrypted and saved directly into the vault, skipping your device's shared media storage entirely, which is what your Gallery app reads from.

Can I still use my regular camera app normally?

Yes. The Private Camera is a separate capture mode inside Lockilee — your phone's default camera app is unaffected and continues saving to your gallery as usual.

Does the Private Camera support video, or just photos?

Both. You can shoot photos or record videos, and either one is encrypted and saved straight into the vault.

Where do Private Camera photos and videos show up?

Inside Lockilee's Photo Vault and Video Vault, alongside anything else you've imported into the vault.
