What is ArkWarden?
ArkWarden is an encrypted vault for iPhone, built for privacy. Your photos, videos, documents and audio stay on your device, and you open the vault by drawing a pattern, so unlocking your phone doesn't open it. It's zero-knowledge: there's no account and no ArkWarden server, so what you keep inside stays yours. Photos, videos, documents and audio each have their own category. Import from your photo library or the Files app, or take photos and record video with the camera inside ArkWarden, so new shots go straight into the vault and never appear in your camera roll. Create as many folders as you need and import files directly into the folder you choose.
Key features

- Open source: the encryption core is public on GitHub, so anyone can check how it works
