PixVault

PixVault – Privacy Toolbox is your all-in-one Android privacy companion. It lets you take full control of your digital footprint — clean hidden metadata from photos, visualize where every picture was taken, manage contacts with QR codes, and lock sensitive media in an encrypted private album. Everything runs entirely on-device. No cloud upload. No account required. ──────────────────────────── 🗺 FOOTPRINT MAP ──────────────────────────── • Plots every GPS-tagged photo on an interactive map so you can see exactly where each memory was captured. • Compare your current location with historical photo pins in real time. • Powered by OpenStreetMap — no proprietary map SDK, no tracking. ──────────────────────────── 🖼 PHOTO TOOLS ──────────────────────────── • Gallery Browser — fast, lightweight photo viewer with multi-select support. • Photo Compressor — reduce file size with adjustable quality; full compression history kept on-device. • Duplicate Detector — automatically finds and groups identical or near-identical images so you can free up storage. • EXIF Cleaner — strips GPS coordinates, device model, timestamp, and other sensitive metadata before you share a photo. Batch-clean entire albums in one tap. • Private Album — password-protected, locally encrypted album for your most sensitive photos. Nothing leaves your device. ──────────────────────────── 👤 CONTACT MANAGER ──────────────────────────── • View, search, and edit all contacts stored on your device. • Generate a personal QR code business card — share your info instantly without typing. • Scan a contact's QR code to save them directly. • One-tap call, SMS, or vCard export from any contact detail page. ──────────────────────────── 🔒 PRIVACY CENTER ──────────────────────────── • Scans your entire gallery to identify photos that still contain GPS location data. • One-tap bulk removal of location metadata from flagged photos. • Gives you a clear, at-a-glance privacy report of your media library. ──────────────────────────── 🌙 MORE FEATURES ──────────────────────────── • Full dark mode support. • Multilingual: English, Traditional Chinese (繁中), and Thai (ไทย). • Minimal, distraction-free UI with no ads and no trackers. ──────────────────────────── 🛡 PRIVACY COMMITMENT ──────────────────────────── PixVault operates 100% offline (except loading OpenStreetMap tile images for the map background). We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data — photos, contacts, or location — on external servers. All processing happens locally on your device. ──────────────────────────── 📋 PERMISSIONS — WHY WE NEED THEM ──────────────────────────── • Storage / Media: read and save photos for compression, EXIF cleaning, and private album. • Contacts: read and edit on-device contacts for the contact manager. • Location: display your position on the footprint map; never stored or shared. • Camera: QR code scanning only; no video recording. • Phone / SMS: initiate calls or open the SMS composer from a contact card. • Internet: download map tile images from OpenStreetMap only; no personal data is sent. • QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: used solely to detect which apps on your device can handle specific sharing intents (e.g., opening a file with a third-party app or launching the default SMS/dialer app). PixVault does not read, display, or collect your list of installed applications for any other purpose
