How Hedgehog Bits compares

There is no single right way to keep files private. These pages set out what each approach protects, what it costs you, and where Hedgehog Bits fits.

• Hedgehog Bits vs the iPhone Hidden album

  The iPhone Hidden album keeps photos out of view behind Face ID. Hedgehog Bits encrypts them with its own password and keeps them off iCloud. The difference.

• Hedgehog Bits vs calculator vault apps

  Calculator vault apps hide files behind a working calculator. How that compares with Hedgehog Bits, what to check about encryption, and where both have limits.

• Hedgehog Bits vs cloud-based vault apps

  Some vault apps back up to their own cloud with an account. Hedgehog Bits keeps everything on the iPhone. The trade-offs between convenience and control.

How we write these pages

• We describe other approaches by what they are designed to do, using their own documentation where we can.
• We include the cases where another option is the better choice for you.
• Each page shows the date it was last reviewed. Apps change, so check current details before you decide.

If you think something here is out of date or unfair, we would like to correct it.
