Burrow

Private photo & file vault

Your private things, sealed on your phone.

Burrow keeps photos, videos, files and notes encrypted behind a PIN, pattern or password only you know. It has no internet permission at all, so nothing can leave by itself.

Burrow

What's inside

01

Locked with modern encryption

Every photo, video and note is encrypted on your phone with XChaCha20-Poly1305, with a tamper check on every piece. File names, dates and thumbnails are encrypted too.

02

Never locked out

12 recovery words open your vault if you forget your PIN, and an encrypted backup file you keep brings everything back on a new phone. Both are free.

03

A decoy when you need one

A second vault with its own PIN shows something harmless. With Pro, a duress PIN opens the decoy and destroys the others, and Burrow can look like a calculator.

Privacy

Your data stays with you.

Burrow needs no account. What you make in it stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. Questions? Write to provantict@gmail.com.

Laws about destroying data differ between countries; you are responsible for how you use the duress PIN.

Questions

Good to know.

Can Burrow send my photos anywhere?

No. Burrow has no internet permission, so Android itself stops it from connecting anywhere. Files leave only when you share them or save a backup somewhere you choose.

What if I forget my PIN?

Use your 12 recovery words to open your vault and set a new PIN. Nobody else, including us, can reset it, so keep the words somewhere safe.

What if I lose my phone?

Restore your latest backup file on the new phone with your 12 words. Burrow can back up automatically every week to a folder you pick, such as Google Drive.

Burrow is coming soon.

We'll list it here the day it goes live on Google Play.
