Inside a Hidegrid vault you can create folders, put folders inside other folders, and search for items by name. Folder names, file names and other details are encrypted with the same key as the files. Search runs on your device while the vault is open.

How to organise a vault

  1. Create a folder

    Tap New folder and name it.

  2. Nest as deep as you like

    Open a folder and create more folders inside it.

  3. Search

    Type in the search field to find items by name across the open vault.

Inside a Hidegrid vault: folders, filters for photos, videos and files, a photo grid and an Import button

Why it matters

Private names

Even the name of a folder like "Passport scans" is encrypted.

Find things quickly

No need to scroll through hundreds of photos.

Mix photos and files

Keep documents and pictures for the same topic together.

Good to know

Search works only inside the vault you have opened. Other vaults stay locked and are not searched.

Questions about this feature

Can I search across all vaults?

No. Each vault is separate, so search looks only in the one you opened.

Can I sort items?

Yes. Sort by name or date inside any folder.

Are folders counted in the free limit?

No. The free plan limits photos and videos, not folders.
