About Sequester

Knowing the passcode to someone's phone should not automatically mean having access to every photograph and video stored on it.

Sequester gives users a separate, private gallery with its own access controls. Photos and videos can be captured or stored inside the app, helping users maintain reasonable privacy boundaries even on devices that may occasionally be shared with a spouse, child, friend, or colleague.

The product combines private media storage with features intended to discourage and reveal unauthorized access, including a decoy PIN and intrusion detection. It is built for ordinary people who want meaningful privacy without treating every person who handles their phone as a threat.

Notable Features

• Private encrypted gallery for personal photos and videos
• In-app camera that allows media to bypass the device's ordinary camera roll
• Decoy PIN that can open a separate decoy area
• Intrusion detection that can photograph an unauthorized access attempt
• Offline functionality for access without a network connection
• Advanced Protection Mode with additional restrictions on sensitive actions
• Login-attempt notifications for added account awareness
• Optional two-factor authentication using time-based one-time passwords
• Screenshot and screen-recording protections where supported by the operating system
• Free and paid storage options

Feature behavior can vary by platform and app version. Journalists may contact the Sequester team for current technical details or review access.

Why Sequester Exists

Phone security is often treated as all-or-nothing: either nobody knows the device passcode, or anyone who knows it can browse everything. Real life is more complicated. People hand phones to their children, share passcodes with partners, show photographs to friends, and allow coworkers to use a device briefly.

Sequester was created around a simple principle: access to a device is not consent to access every private item on that device.

Editorial Story Angles

Sequester is available for independent testing and may be relevant to stories concerning:

1. What sharing a phone passcode actually exposes
2. Private gallery and photo-vault app comparisons
3. Digital boundaries in relationships and shared households
4. Apps using decoy access and intrusion detection
5. Keeping sensitive photographs out of the ordinary camera roll
6. Practical mobile privacy tools for everyday users
7. Privacy considerations for creators, professionals, and travelers
8. The differences between device security and content-level privacy

“People commonly share their phone passcode with someone they trust. Sequester is designed around the idea that trust and personal privacy can coexist.”

“Our objective is to make private media protection understandable and useful for ordinary people, not only security experts.”
