Organizing Your Files

Sorting and Filtering

Open the sort & filter menu by tapping the three-line icon in the Vault tab's top-right toolbar.

The menu has four pickers:

• Sort By — Date Added, Date Modified, Name, or Size.
• Direction — Newest First / Oldest First (or A–Z / Z–A for Name, Largest First / Smallest First for Size). The label adapts to the chosen sort field so it always reads naturally.
• Filter — All Items, Images, Documents, Audio, Videos, or Notes. Restricts which items show in the grid.
• (View mode lives next to this menu — see below.)

Selected values show as checkmarks inside each picker, and your choices persist across app launches.

Switching Between Grid and List

The icon next to the sort/filter button toggles between grid and list layouts. The icon shows the mode you'd switch to — when in grid view it shows a list icon, and vice versa.

• Grid view — thumbnail tiles, ideal for spotting visual content like photos and videos.
• List view — file names plus self-destruct timers, better for managing documents and notes.

Renaming Items

Each file's name appears in the vault grid/list and is the first thing you'll see. Default names depend on the source:

• Photos / Videos — "Photo - Sep 20, 2025 at 10:15 AM"
• Web pages — the page title
• PDFs — document title from metadata or first line
• Notes — whatever you typed in the title field at the top of the editor

To rename:

1. Tap the item to open it.
2. Tap the title at the top of the editor (or the title bar in detail views).
3. Type the new name. Closing the editor (or the auto-save tick) writes the change.

Best Practices for Naming

File contents are encrypted, but file names are part of the vault's metadata. Avoid putting sensitive specifics in titles:

• Good: Project Phoenix Notes, Vacation Plan, ID Scan
• Avoid: Acme Corp Merger Secrets, My Bank Password is 1234, Confidential Medical Report
