Getting Started
Understanding the Vault Interface
The vault is your central hub. Use the buttons in the top-right to add files, change the layout, and access settings. Tap on any item to view it securely.
Your UltraLocked vault is designed for simplicity and security. Here is a breakdown of the main screen elements.
1. The Main Vault View
This is the central area where all your encrypted files are displayed. You can switch between two modes:
- Grid View (Default): Shows a thumbnail grid of your items, ideal for quickly identifying visual content like photos and videos.
- List View: Shows a detailed list with file names and their remaining self-destruct time, better for managing documents and notes.
2. The Toolbar (Top Right)
The buttons in the top-right corner are your primary controls:
- New Note (Paper Icon): Opens the secure rich-text editor to create a new encrypted note.
- Secure Camera (Camera Icon): Launches the Secure Camera to capture photos or videos directly into your vault.
- View Toggle (Grid/List Icon): Toggles the main vault view between the Grid and List layouts.
- Settings (Gear Icon): Takes you to the main settings screen where you can configure security levels, emergency protocols, and more.
3. The File Items
Each item in your vault represents a securely encrypted file.
- Thumbnail: A small, blurred preview of the content. For documents, it's a representative icon.
- Title: The name of the file. You can edit this at any time.
- Self-Destruct Timer: The countdown displayed on each item shows how long until it is permanently and securely deleted.
