Sectos - Photo & Video Vault

For a better privacy control, this app appears on your launcher as Sectos (SECret phoTOS)

Sectos is a handy app to keep your sensitive photos & videos in secret. We use high-secure algorithm and custom mechanism to protect photos.
It's well integrated with cloud services (Dropbox, Google Drive comming soon) to backup secret photos forever.

How it works

Secret Photo uses a secret box that is hidden from Android OS. Only user using Secret Photo app with correct unlock code can access this box. Unlock code is encrypted in MD5 algorithm.
When a photo is selected to hide, it will be moved to this box and change the file so that no other app can recognize its as a photo.
You can use hidden photos as regular one: attach to email, share to Facebook, etc.

Hide photos

Two ways to hide a photo
  • Sharing photo from regular photo apps:
  • Inside Secret Photos: goto Public photo, click an hold on an album or photo to select, then click on hide  icon .

Unhide photos

To unhide, goto Secret photo, click an hold on an album or photo to select, then click on icon.

Unhide photos

Secret Photos provides a handy camera to capture photo that will hide immediately. You don't need to unlock app to use this camera.
