One place for imported and saved video
Keep camera imports, Files imports, shared media, and completed compatible downloads together instead of splitting them across unrelated apps.
A private home for videos on your iPhone.
Imported videos and completed downloads share one protected space in ALBA. Organize them outside the everyday camera roll, open them privately, and decide when to export or share.
Some vault-account, search, and bulk features require Pro. Current limits and pricing are shown inside the app.
Only save media you own or that the source explicitly authorizes you to download and keep. Availability depends on the page, format, and source rules. ALBA is not designed to bypass access controls or digital rights protections.
IMPORTBring in personal media from Photos, Files, Camera, or sharing.
DOWNLOADKeep compatible completed web-media downloads in the same vault.
ORGANIZEUse folders, search, favorites, and separate local spaces.
PLAYOpen supported video inside ALBA and continue offline.
More useful than simply hiding a video.
A private vault should help you manage the file throughout its life, not just move it behind a lock screen.
Organization after the import
Place videos into folders, find them with search, mark favorites, and keep separate local vault spaces when different contexts need different boundaries.
Playback without a round trip
Open supported media from the vault or Downloads, keep playback position during the current app session, and watch offline without exposing the file to a public web page.
How ALBA approaches private storage
Vault files are stored in ALBA's protected local app space. The developer does not operate a cloud account that can browse your files and does not upload vault contents to a third-party server. Optional iCloud device backup is controlled by Apple and your iOS settings.
Local-first does not remove your responsibility. Anyone with sufficient access to an unlocked device, exported copies, backups, or your passcode may reach the content. Keep iOS updated, protect the device, use a strong passcode, and maintain independent encrypted backups for irreplaceable files.
- Protected app-local storage
- Passcode and biometric-ready access flow
- Temporary preview isolation
- Encrypted file export and re-import
- No developer-operated vault cloud account

Private video vault FAQ
What the vault protects and what still depends on you.
Does ALBA upload private videos?
ALBA does not upload vault files to third-party servers. Optional iCloud device backup is managed by Apple through your iOS settings.
Can the developer recover my vault passcode?
No. The developer does not have your local passcode. Use a passcode you can retain safely and keep backups of important files.
Can I export a video later?
Yes. Export and sharing are actions you control. Encrypted export can help with backup or transfer, while a normal export makes a usable copy outside the vault.
Is ALBA a replacement for a backup?
No. A private vault and a backup solve different problems. Keep an independent backup if losing the device or app data would be costly.
Keep personal video separate, organized, and offline.
Create a protected local-first space for imported media and compatible completed downloads.
