ACCESS & PRIVACY
A deliberate choice.
A destructive action.
Duress mode is an optional, one-shot operation. You choose the vault to keep, read the destructive confirmation, and arm it in Settings. Its next successful pattern unlock removes the other local vaults.

Explicitly arm one vault to survive while its next pattern unlock removes the other local vaults.

- 01
Open the vault you want to keep and choose Set up duress mode in Settings.
- 02
Read and confirm what will be removed. Turn it off before locking if you change your mind.
- 03
The next pattern unlock of that vault triggers deletion without another warning. Recovery entry does not trigger it.
DESTRUCTIVE OPTION — READ FIRST
Understand what cannot be undone.
Other local vault files are removed. Recovery words alone cannot bring them back. External encrypted backups, originals and exports survive. Deletion is not guaranteed physical overwrite or forensic erasure, and duress is not a guarantee of personal safety.
