OBSCURAOBSCURAObscura seals your private files behind a fully playable retro arcade. Anyone who picks up your phone sees a game. Only you know the gesture that opens the vault.
Every “hidden photos” app has the same flaw: a lock screen that announces you have something to hide. Obscura has no login screen at all. It is a real, playable arcade right up until the moment you decide it isn’t, so there is nothing to find and nothing to demand.
Three playable cabinets: WAVE, MAZE and DRIFT. To anyone who opens the app, Obscura is simply a retro game.
During play, a gesture only you know slides the vault open. No flash, no sound, nothing to catch over your shoulder.
Photos, video, PDFs and documents, decrypted only while you look and sealed again the instant you leave.
Files are sealed with a key derived from your password and never leave your device in the clear.
Obscura can’t phone home because there’s nowhere to phone. No telemetry, no analytics, no sign-up.
One tap drops you back to the arcade and wipes the keys from memory. It re-locks the moment you leave, too.
Your password lives in the Secure Enclave and is released only after a successful biometric check.
Forget your password and a 24-word phrase restores everything. Lose the phrase and nothing recovers it, not even us.
Buy once on the App Store and Obscura is yours on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Writing or making videos about privacy? I’ll send you a free lifetime license. Reviewers are welcome to put Obscura behind a packet capture and watch it stay completely silent, no cloud, no account, no calls home. Creators can earn a share of every sale they drive.
Get Obscura on the App StoreYes. It never needs a network. There’s no account and no cloud sync, so it works anywhere, in airplane mode included.
Your 24-word recovery phrase restores the vault. Write it down and keep it offline and safe, it’s the one backup that exists.
No, and that’s the point. Obscura is zero-knowledge: we never have your password or your data. Nobody can unlock your vault but you.
iPhone, iPad and Mac. One Universal Purchase covers all three, and your vault stays on whichever device holds it.
