StegoSafe Pricing
One purchase, every Apple device you own. StegoSafe is a native iPhone, iPad and Mac app — no subscription, no server, no telemetry.
StegoSafe is a personal tool: it hides an encrypted secret inside a photo and never lets it leave your device. One purchase on the App Store covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. There is no subscription and nothing to renew.
📱🖥️ StegoSafe for iPhone, iPad & Mac
- Native apps for iOS, iPadOS and macOS — one purchase, Family Sharing supported
- Original photo preserved: StegoSafe writes a separate protected PNG and leaves your original untouched
- Deniable image format: no header, marker or signature — nothing for a scanner to match on, and without the credentials it fails exactly like an ordinary photo
- Three protection modes: portable password, device-bound Face ID or Touch ID, or device-bound biometrics plus PIN
- Split a secret across photos: k-of-n recovery with Shamir Secret Sharing (any 3 of 5, and so on)
- AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption · PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 600,000 iterations
- Secrets created on iPhone open on Mac and vice versa
- Everything happens on the device: no account, no cloud, no telemetry
- Opens images made with StegoSafe 2.0
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Family Sharing supported.
Requires iOS 15 / macOS 12 or newer. Purchases are handled by Apple; we never see your payment details.
Which mode should you choose?
| Mode | Best for | Opens elsewhere? | What you need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portable password | Long-term recovery and inheritance | Yes | Password |
| Device-bound | Strongest convenient local protection | No | This device + Face ID or Touch ID |
| Device-bound + PIN | Highest local protection | No | This device + biometrics + PIN |
Device-bound modes tie access to this Apple device and its current enrolled biometrics; changing the enrolled Face ID or Touch ID set invalidates that access. Portable password mode stays available whenever a secret must open somewhere else — which is usually what you want for an inheritance plan.
Why $49.99
Buy once. Keep it offline. There is no account to maintain, no subscription to renew and no company server that must still exist when you need your recovery secret years from now.
What is included
Hide
Type or paste a secret, pick a photo, choose how it is protected. The result is a PNG that looks and behaves like any other picture.
Split
Turn one secret into several photos so that any k of n rebuild it and fewer reveal nothing at all — not "little", nothing.
Deny
Since 2.1 the image carries no readable structure. A wrong password, a plain photo and a damaged file all fail the same way.
Keep
No server is involved at any point. Your secret exists on your device and in the photos you choose to keep — nowhere else.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a subscription?
No. StegoSafe is a one-time purchase. There is no server to pay for, so there is nothing to renew.
Is there a Windows or Linux version?
No, and none is planned. StegoSafe's device-bound modes rest on the Apple keychain's biometric access control — the key is marked this-device-only and released only by the current enrolled Face ID or Touch ID, so changing the enrolled set invalidates it and there is deliberately no way back in. No other platform offers that, and a version without it would be a different, weaker product. You can try the format in the web demo without buying anything.
Does one purchase cover my Mac and my iPhone?
Yes. It is a universal purchase on the App Store: iPhone, iPad and Mac under the same Apple ID, and Family Sharing if you have it enabled.
What if I forget the password?
Then the secret is gone — that is the point. There is no recovery service and no back door. For secrets you cannot afford to lose, split them across several photos and keep the shares in different places.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com.
Need to send a secret and control it afterwards?
That is a different problem, so it is a different product. WaxSeal is for organisations: the photo carries only a reference, the encrypted content sits in a vault your organisation controls, and you can revoke, expire or limit it after sending. Sold per organisation, recipients free.
