LOX is an encrypted vault that lives on your device. Files are encrypted before they ever leave it — and the only key is yours. No account, no server, nothing to trust but the math.
Passports. Contracts. Tax returns. Medical records. Photos you'd never post. The big cloud drives are convenient, but every file you put there is one the provider can read, scan, lose to a breach, or hand over on request.
Some drives offer end-to-end encryption — but they hold the keys. They could read your files. With LOX, no one holds the key but you.
Every document is encrypted with AES-256 (widely regarded as the gold standard of data encryption and used globally by governments, militaries, and financial institutions). The key is derived from your passkey or passphrase and never leaves the device. No one can decrypt your files - except of you.
Your vaults live on your device, not on someone else's server. Create as many as you like to scope what's strictly personal from the everyday. Keep an encrypted backup in any folder you choose — including one your own cloud already syncs.
Unlock with your fingerprint, face, or hardware key — nothing to phish, nothing to reuse, nothing to leak. Lose the device and a 12-word recovery phrase brings you back. The phrase follows an open standard, so it isn't tied to LOX.
LOX previews PDFs, Word documents, and images inside the vault. Files stay encrypted on disk and are decrypted only in memory, only while you're looking — never handed off to a third-party viewer that could cache, sync, or phone them home.
LOX is a progressive web app. There's nothing to install, but once you add it to your home screen it runs straight from your device. If we ever disappear, your vault doesn't — the app and your files keep working, offline, indefinitely.

Visit LOX in your browser and create a new vault. Pick a name. No account, no email, no sign-up.
Setup a passkey or choose a passphrase. In case of passkey, Write down your 12-word recovery phrase and store it somewhere safe — it's the only way back in if you ever lose your device.
Drop in files. They're encrypted on import and organized with collections and tags. You can add notes, and full-text search across documents metadata. Preview PDFs, Word docs, and images inline — without leaving the vault.
Each vault is its own sealed unit, so you decide exactly what goes where — and none of it ever leaves your device unless you back it up yourself.
A documents vault for the essentials — passport, insurance, lease, contracts. Encrypted on import and a tap away when you need them.
A personal vault just for you — tax returns, salary slips, the photos that don't belong in your camera roll. Local only. Never leaves the device.
A household vault for the paperwork you'll want to share — set it aside now; sharing it with view or edit access is coming soon.
Everything you need to keep your documents private is free. Cross-device sync and sharing are on the way as an optional add-on.
More ways to use LOX, all built on the same local-first, encrypted-on-your-device architecture.
Back up a vault to your own cloud provider and have it follow you to every device. Per-vault opt-in, and the provider only ever sees ciphertext — never your key, never your files.
Share a vault with view or edit access via QR code — ideal for a household or a trusted few. The recipient gets their own passphrase; your passkey never leaves your device, and you can revoke access later.
On desktop, pick a folder that your scanner or camera saves to. Everything inside it can be imported into a vault with one click — encrypted on the way in and removed from the inbox once stored securely.
Special LOX vault type following the same core principles, dedicated to the pictures you don't want indexed by anyone else. Encrypted on your device, organized, entirely yours.
No. The encryption key is derived on your device from your passkey or passphrase, and never leaves it. We don't hold it, can't recover it, and never see it. Any backup you make is ciphertext — useless without your key.
Your 12-word recovery phrase restores access. Write it down once, store it somewhere safe (paper works, a password manager works), and you're covered. The phrase is yours — it isn't kept on a LOX server.
Sharing is coming soon. When you share a vault, the recipient will get an encrypted copy with its own passphrase — handed over via QR code. Your personal passkey never leaves your device. You'll be able to give view-only or edit access, and revoke it later.
Drive and Dropbox can read your files. They scan them, index them, and have to comply with legal requests. LOX can't — even when you keep an encrypted backup in a folder those services sync. You get the convenience without giving them readable copies.
Yes. LOX is a progressive web app and your vault is fully usable without a network. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an installed app. If LOX as a company ever disappears, the app and your local vault keep working.
No app store, no installer. Open LOX in your browser, add it to your home screen, and it runs from your device. Updates happen automatically when you're online.
Export your files anytime. Your data isn't hostage to the app, and your recovery phrase lets you restore the vault elsewhere if we ever go away.
Create your vault in under a minute. Free, encrypted end-to-end, and yours from the first file you add.
