About VaultPony

VaultPony creates and opens encrypted containers on Android. A vault is a single

encrypted file that holds a private filesystem, and only your password opens it.

The containers are compatible with VeraCrypt, so you can open the same vaults on

the desktop and back.

There is no account, no cloud, and no network access. Your vaults are just files,

kept wherever you choose.

Features:

* Create and open VeraCrypt-compatible containers, with a choice of cipher, hash

(including Argon2id), and filesystem (FAT or exFAT).

* Hidden volumes: conceal a second vault inside the first. Two passwords, and the

outer one gives no sign the hidden one exists. The outer volume can be

write-protected so normal use will not overwrite the hidden data.

* Header backup and recovery, in-place password change, and keyfiles.

* Biometric unlock, auto-lock when the app leaves the foreground, a hidden-screen

mode that blocks screenshots, and a no-trace mode that remembers nothing.

* Localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Brazilian

Portuguese, with live in-app switching.

VaultPony is free and open source, built on a shared Rust core you can inspect.

What's new in 1.1.0

Argon2id support: vaults made with VeraCrypt 1.26.29 or later using Argon2id now open, and new vaults can use it (issue #1). Unlock has a key derivation choice (Auto, PBKDF2, Argon2id), a Cancel button and a free-memory check. Biometric unlock remembers a vault's KDF. Password change can switch the KDF. A PIM below the default now needs a password of 20+ characters, as in VeraCrypt. Password fields have a show/hide button, and the unlock screen has a Back button.
