Private vault app for Windows and Linux

Your private stuff.
Actually private.

Client files, personal videos, private documents. DeVault finds them, locks them in a password-protected vault on your computer, and cleans up the traces left behind.

The problem

Don't be sloppy.

Your computer remembers more than you think. Private content can end up scattered across places you forgot about.

Scattered files

Downloads, Videos, Pictures, Desktop, random folders and duplicate copies.

Accidental exposure

Shared computers and casual browsing can turn private content into an awkward surprise.

Digital leftovers

Old downloads, recent files and other traces can stick around long after you thought you cleaned up.

Real life happens

Shared laptop?
Family computer?
Don't rely on luck.

Maybe someone needs to borrow your laptop. Maybe your computer is used by the whole household. Maybe you simply don't want sensitive files sitting beside everything else.

Don't leave private stuff lying around.
Built for discretion

De Vault is designed around local storage. Your private content doesn't need to travel to someone else's server.

A few things worth knowing

  • • Your Plus update window starts on your purchase date. A major upgrade must be released within that 24-month window to be included.
  • • If a major release falls outside your entitlement, you can keep using your purchased version or buy the upgrade at the applicable price.
  • • Eligible bug fixes and security patches do not require a major-version upgrade. They remain subject to the published maintenance policy.
  • • A returning-customer discount for v3.0 is a proposed benefit, not an unlimited lifetime-updates promise.

DeVault remains usable offline. No subscription, account, or continuous internet connection is required.

Questions, answered.

Everything you might want to know before putting your private files in De Vault.

Where are my files stored?
On your own computer. De Vault is built around local storage: your private files are never uploaded to a cloud or to our servers, so they only exist where you put them.
How is my vault protected?
Everything you place in the vault is encrypted on your device using libsodium, a widely trusted cryptography library. Without your password, the files inside are unreadable, even to someone who copies them off your drive.
What happens if I forget my password?
Because your password never leaves your device, we can't reset it for you. When you create a vault you can save your password or PIN as a pass.txt file. Keep that copy somewhere safe, and not inside the vault itself.
Does De Vault delete or move things without asking?
No. De Vault is review-first: it can scan for sensitive files and show you what it found, but nothing is moved into the vault or removed until you confirm it.
What is the Downloads folder detection?
De Vault can watch your Downloads folder and let you know when new videos arrive, for example “3 new videos detected”. Notifications never include file names, so nothing sensitive shows up on a lock screen. One click unlocks your vault and moves them in.
What happens to files I open from the vault?
To view an item, De Vault creates a temporary decrypted copy. The cleanup tool finds and removes these leftover copies, so they don't stay on your drive after you're done.
Can it handle large videos?
Yes. De Vault uses native encryption, which keeps large video files fast to lock and unlock, though very large files will still take longer than small ones.
Which operating systems are supported?
De Vault is available for Windows and Linux desktop computers. Mobile apps and macOS aren't available at the moment.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only to buy and download the app. Once installed, De Vault works fully offline, because nothing it does depends on a server.
How does buying work?
Checkout opens right on this page and payments are handled securely by Lemon Squeezy. After you purchase, you get access to the installer for your operating system.
