About Us

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Built by an independent developer, for anyone who thinks privacy shouldn't be optional.

Lockboxy started from a very ordinary question: every time you hand your phone to someone — a friend looking at photos, a kid playing a game, a repair technician — what makes you hesitate for a second first? Usually it's the fear they'll accidentally swipe into a photo, a message, or something you'd rather keep to yourself.

Ordinary folder-lock apps give themselves away: a lock icon, a PIN screen the moment they open — inviting exactly the question they're trying to avoid, “what are you hiding in there?” Lockboxy takes a different approach: it doesn't look like a vault at all, until you deliberately ask it to be one.

Our philosophy

We believe a genuinely secure app doesn't need to look suspicious to do its job well. The calculator inside Lockboxy computes correctly, 100% of the time — not a fake shell, but a real tool, exactly as it presents itself.

  • Deliberately upfront: we state plainly that Lockboxy is a private vault app with a calculator disguise, including on the App Store — no secrets kept even from our own users.
  • No backdoor: your passcode isn't stored anywhere but with you. Forgetting it means losing your data — that's the price of a system nobody can break into, including us — unless you've set up a Recovery Key, a Premium fallback you generate and store yourself in advance.
  • Privacy over invasive ads: the free plan shows only non-intrusive ads that never use your vault content or activity, Premium removes them entirely, and we never sell your data.

Who's behind Lockboxy

Lockboxy is built and maintained by Đào Văn Thương, an independent developer based in Vietnam. There's no marketing team, no investors behind it — just one person writing the code, answering support emails, and personally accountable for every line of the privacy policy.

Our commitment to you

  • No account, no server — your data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up.
  • Genuinely usable for free — no artificial limits designed to force payment for basic features.
  • Direct replies — every support email is read and answered by the person who actually built the app.
