Liberty Lock

Situational privacy In development

Choose what your phone reveals.

Liberty Lock is a privacy app in development for iPhone, with Android to follow. Your real PIN opens the vault. A second PIN opens a separate, ordinary container. It changes what Liberty Lock shows, not the rest of your phone.

The access problem

A phone can be encrypted and still expose too much.

Ordinary device security assumes the owner decides when and how access is granted. Real situations are not always that clean.

01

Protection at rest

Device encryption protects stored information, but it does not decide what becomes visible after access is granted.

02

Access under pressure

A privacy control should not depend on navigating settings or explaining why access is being refused.

03

Deliberate exposure

The useful choice is not simply locked or unlocked. It is deciding which information a given access state reveals.

01 — Access states

One app. Three access states. A boundary you control.

Everyday and Secondary Access are views. The Protected Vault sits behind an access boundary and opens only with your real PIN.

  1. 01

    Everyday Access

    What the app shows day to day. The vault stays sealed and nothing protected is on screen.

    Surface
  2. 03

    Secondary Access

    A separate container that a second PIN opens, holding only ordinary content you chose in advance.

    Access boundary

    Crossing it takes your real PIN. Encryption and platform-protected keys are planned as core constraints.

    Design target
  4. 02

    Protected Vault

    Credentials, recovery phrases, journals, photos and documents you choose to protect.

    Behind the boundary
Conceptual exploded view of the app: the everyday view and the second container in front, the access boundary behind them, and the Protected Vault behind the boundary.

02 — Quick Lock

Seal the vault in one action. No settings, no network.

A prepared action is intended to close the Protected Vault and return Liberty Lock to its everyday view, without depending on a network request or a sequence of settings.

Designed to work without a server round-trip. Seals Liberty Lock only; it does not lock your phone or other apps.

Simulated app screens: the open vault seals and the app returns to its everyday view.
03 — Local-first boundary

Readable here. Cipher there.

The architecture target changes a protected item into a cipher representation on your device before any optional crossing. The service-side model has no path back to readable content.

04 — Product system

Each module controls a different part of exposure.

Each capability exists to support controlled visibility. None is presented as a shipping guarantee while the product remains in development.

Design target

Protected Vault

A separate place for sensitive notes, files, and credentials, with encryption and platform-protected key handling planned as core constraints.

05 — Vision

Starting with one phone. Designed to grow.

The same access-state model could extend from personal privacy to organizations and to computers. This is the direction, not a release plan.

ANow

Consumer app

In development

Liberty Lock starts as a consumer app for iPhone, with Android to follow. This is the immediate priority.

BDirection

Business & enterprise

Strategic direction

Longer term, the same access-state model could help organizations control how sensitive information is exposed, through business configurations and custom work for specialized operational needs. Not a product today.

CHorizon

Desktop & computers

Long-term vision

Beyond the phone, the intention is a broader software ecosystem that brings controlled visibility to computers. No operating systems or timing are committed.

Line style encodes status: solid, in development · dashed, strategic direction · dotted, long-term vision. Illustrative progression; the initiatives may not launch in this order.

06 — Security transparency

Current. Planned. Not claimed.

Every product statement is classified by status. Architecture goals remain targets until implementation and review provide evidence.

01Current fact
The website and product model are public; the mobile product remains in development.
02Design target
Protected information and prepared access states are intended to operate locally.
03Design target
Company systems are intended to have a narrow view of protected content.
04Not claimed
No audit, certification, performance benchmark, or cryptographic guarantee is presented as complete.
