What is ArkWarden?
ArkWarden is an encrypted vault for iPhone that stores photos, videos, documents, and audio on your device.
The pattern you draw is not a lock screen. It derives the key that unlocks your encryption key, so files stay encrypted rather than sitting decrypted behind a passcode prompt. Every file is encrypted individually with AES-256-GCM, keys derived with PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600,000 iterations and a per-vault random salt.
A second pattern opens a separate vault with its own files and identity. Second factors include Face ID, Touch ID, a PIN, or a YubiKey hardware key over NFC. A BIP-39 recovery phrase, shown once and stored only by you, is the only way back in if you forget your pattern.
No account, no email, no ArkWarden server. Optional encrypted backup to your own iCloud is off by default. The encryption code is open source on GitHub.
