Core features

Three things, done well.

Encrypt it, find it fast, and truly hide it. Everything else is a bonus.

01 · Encrypted Vault

Encrypted the moment you import

Pick photos or videos and the app encrypts them on this device, verifies integrity, and stores them in your Vault.

  • Biometric quick unlock
  • Two ciphers to choose from

  • Match any, match all, or exclude
  • Save Filters and apply them in one tap
  • Unlimited Tags and saved Filters

03 · Hidden Space

What you hide cannot even be searched

The Hidden Space is a separately encrypted layer inside your Vault. Opening it takes the Vault password first, then the Hidden Space password. Either one alone shows nothing.

  • While closed, items in the Hidden Space never appear on Home, in Tags, Filters, or search
  • The Home title turns gold while the Hidden Space is open
  • Setup issues a Recovery Key in case you forget the Hidden Space password
Read the security whitepaper
  • Hidden Space passwordBronze

    A second lock beyond the Vault password, guarding only the Hidden Space.

  • Duress ResponseSilver

    The duress password resets the entire Vault at once. No countdown, no cancel. Back up before enabling it.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Where files live, what happens if you forget a password, and how backups and expired memberships work.

Where are my files stored?

Imported photos and videos are encrypted inside the Vault on this device. Decrypted exports are stored at the destination you choose and are no longer protected by Vault encryption.

Can I use it without an account?

Yes. Wiser Locker has no account system of its own. Memberships are purchased through Google Play, and Cloud sync & backup only asks you to sign in with Google to use your own Google Drive.

Can a forgotten Vault password be recovered?

No. No one, including ForgerWise, can recover or reset the Vault password. Keep your primary Vault password and usable .wlz backups safe.

What if biometrics stop working?

Unlock with the primary Vault password. Biometrics are a daily shortcut, not a replacement for that password.

Does Wiser Locker upload my photos?

Not to ForgerWise. The Vault is created on this device. If you turn on Cloud sync & backup (Silver), end-to-end encrypted copies go to a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive, which ForgerWise cannot read. Optional product analytics sends allowlisted events only after consent and excludes file content, names, Tags, passwords, and Vault statistics.

What does a local backup contain?

A .wlz is a complete encrypted Vault snapshot. Its password is separate from the current Vault password, and restoring it replaces the current Vault state.

How do I open the Hidden Space?

Unlock the Vault with your Vault password, then enter the Hidden Space password. Both are required. Closing the Hidden Space returns everything to the normal view. If you forget the Hidden Space password, the Recovery Key saved at setup can reset it.

Can I still use my local Vault after membership expires?

Yes, core local Vault use returns to the Basic plan. Paid features follow current entitlements. If Cloud sync & backup was on, syncing stops, but your local data stays and you can still download your cloud data. Your local Vault is not deleted simply because membership expires.

Your private space should remain in your control.
