Work securely with documents that really matter

If you collect a lot of documents – tax records, insurance policies, contracts, medical letters, photos of documents – you also work with them regularly: looking things up, comparing, adding notes, filing new scans. In everyday use it’s easy to create more copies and traces than you actually want.

Encryption is only the first step. Just as important is that your documents stay in a protected environment while you view, organize and edit them, and don’t quietly end up in places you no longer have in sight.

SimpleumSafe is made for this everyday work with important documents: your Safe keeps documents organized and protected at the same time – when you open them, sort them, back them up and even when you carry them on a USB stick. The security mechanisms run in the background so you can simply keep control of your archive.

  • Everything important in one place instead of scattered across folders, sticks and inboxes.
  • Scans, PDFs and images stored in order instead of disappearing in email and download chaos.
  • From personal folders to business archives – you keep the full overview.

What you no longer have to worry about

Store safely

Certificates, ID scans or contracts go straight into your Safe – and from then on they are stored encrypted in one fixed place instead of being scattered across downloads or inboxes.

Work as usual

You read and edit your documents just like you’re used to – SimpleumSafe protects every change and prevents unencrypted copies or traces from being left behind.

On all devices

Your documents stay up to date everywhere – and even copied cloud data remains undecryptable, even if someone knew your password. Available everywhere, readable only by you.

Whether it’s receipts, warranty documents, certificates, medical records or project and client documents – everything ends up in one place and stays reliably protected.
For private and professional use alike: you keep the overview and always know where to find your important documents.
You import your files into the Safe once – the rest of your daily work happens in the archive.

Why SimpleumSafe has become essential for many

Very good encryption app, great support

App is from Germany. For me that somehow inspires more confidence.
Customer support is very good...
Unrestricted purchase recommendation!

Moved from version 2 to 3. Great security encryption app!

I have been using this app since version 2 (2019)...
My files have never been compromised and I am very happy with the app’s overall protection and performance.
If you are looking for a safe and secure way to encrypt your personal data, look no further.
This is a very good product produced by a company that’s mandated to comply with Europe’s strongest data privacy laws. Thanks for such a great experience SimpleumSafe!

It's a shame I didn't find the app sooner

The app does what it promises very well. The interface is simple and intuitive, the functions are complete and exhaustive, synchronization with iCloud is more than efficient.
For those looking for a “Safe” to store confidential documents on all Apple devices, this is the ideal solution.
As I wrote in the title, if I had known about it earlier I would have saved myself the misfortune I had with a competing app.

SimpleumSafe for Mac

Your familiar Finder – only as an encrypted archive

SimpleumSafe on Mac

On the Mac, your Safe feels like a normal folder: you drag files from Finder straight into SimpleumSafe and organize them there as usual – view, rename, tag, comment and structure them in folders.

All documents remain encrypted at all times – even when you open, edit or back them up. No unencrypted copies, no traces left in the system.

You can create multiple Safes, for example for private documents, business records or projects, and store them on your hard disk, on a USB flash drive or in the cloud. Only you can decrypt the data – with your Safe password.

Frequently asked Questions (FAQ)

Your Safes remain fully encrypted even if a device is lost. Without the Safe password, nobody can open your documents.

SimpleumSafe does not create unencrypted copies or temporary files in the system – so even in a worst-case scenario, nothing is visible in plain text.

If you use a backup or a second Safe location (for example Mac and iPhone), you can simply continue using your Safe there.

Only you can open your Safe – we do not have access to your data.

That’s why you can create a recovery password (Recovery Key) and print it out, so you can set a new Safe password if you forget the original one.

Without a Recovery Key, your Safe cannot be restored for security reasons.

Your Safes are stored only where you place them: on your device, a USB drive, a hard drive, in iCloud or in a synced folder.

SimpleumSafe does not operate its own servers for your content and cannot see or decrypt your documents.

Yes. You can use Safes completely offline.

If you want to sync them between devices, you can use direct device-to-device synchronization without internet – similar to AirDrop.

The data never leave your local network and are not routed through third-party servers.

SimpleumSafe uses AES-256 – an internationally recognized standard that is recommended even for the highest security levels.
