Pattern unlock
Draw a pattern on a 5×5 grid to open your vault. Your pattern is used to create the key that decrypts your files.
Included free
Multiple vaults, each with its own pattern
Keep work documents, family photos and personal files apart. Every vault has its own pattern and its own encryption key.

Free to start. No account needed.
In Hidegrid you can create several independent vaults. Each vault has its own pattern and its own encryption key, so opening one vault never reveals another. The free plan includes 3 vaults; Pro allows unlimited vaults.
How to add another vault
Tap New vault
From the vault screen, choose New vault.
Pick a different pattern
Use a pattern you do not use for any other vault.
Save its recovery phrase
Each new vault comes with its own nine-word phrase. Keep it somewhere safe.
Why it matters
Real separation
Vaults do not share a key. Knowing one pattern tells nothing about the others.
Show only what you choose
If you need to open a vault in front of someone, open the one meant for that moment.
Tidy by design
Use vaults for big groups and folders inside them for the details.
Plan limits
The free plan includes up to 3 vaults. Pro removes the limit.
Questions about this feature
Can two vaults use the same pattern?
No. Each pattern opens exactly one vault, so every vault needs a different pattern.
Does Hidegrid show how many vaults I have?
Vault names and contents are encrypted. The app shows a vault only after you draw its pattern.
Can I move items between vaults?
Yes. Open both vaults with their patterns, then move items from one to the other.

Pro
Duress pattern
Set a second pattern for emergencies. If someone forces you to open Hidegrid, drawing it quietly erases the vault.
Free
Folders and search
Create folders inside folders and search by name. Names and details are encrypted just like the files.
