SeekPrivacy3.5.0

SeekPrivacy lets users place sensitive data inside an encrypted sandbox, keeping it separate from the phone’s operating environment and other installed applications. It addresses the storage-access dilemma in which denying an app access can disrupt its operation, while granting access can expose private information. The protected data remains isolated while the surrounding device environment is treated as potentially compromised or untrusted.

The sandbox is separated from the operating system and other apps, and its contents are designed to resist unauthorized physical extraction. Even if a malicious app gains complete control of the device, the data is intended to remain a cryptographic black box. This layered design reduces the need to choose between app functionality and privacy, distinguishing SeekPrivacy from a conventional isolated storage vault.

It is suited to Android users handling sensitive information in situations where the device itself may be hostile, including people seeking activist-grade protection against system-level data surveillance. SeekPrivacy runs on Android 5.0 and later, uses Universal architecture, and is released under an open-source license in the Security & Privacy category. The current version, 3.5.0, improves encryption and decryption speed and adds file previews in the decrypted folder.
