Why SimpleumSafe? A protected place for important documents
Tax records, contracts, identity documents, medical records, and private photos deserve a place where they are not merely stored, but protected and organized. SimpleumSafe brings these important files together in an encrypted document archive – locally controlled and available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad when you choose.
FileVault and your device passcode remain the essential foundation. SimpleumSafe adds a separate archive boundary for selected documents: with its own Safe password, encrypted file names, and an organization independent of the original folders.

Three reasons to use a separate encrypted archive
Keep files protected
File contents, names, folders, tags, and other Safe information are stored encrypted.
Find them again
You collect important records in one clear archive instead of scattering them across ordinary folders and devices.
Use your own devices
When needed, synchronize encrypted Safe data between Mac, iPhone, and iPad – without a separate SimpleumSafe account.
When SimpleumSafe may be useful for you
SimpleumSafe is particularly useful when you want to keep selected personal or professional records protected for the long term while still having them close at hand.
- Archive important records: such as tax documents, contracts, identity documents, medical records, business records, or travel documents.
- Separate private content: files and photos that should not sit among ordinary documents or in freely accessible cloud folders.
- Keep different areas apart: for example, separate Safes for family, work, long-term planning, or a particular project.
- Use your Apple devices together: encrypted synchronization between your own Macs, iPhones, and iPads without placing readable files in the synchronization target.
- Choose where data is stored: depending on the device and workflow, Safes can live in suitable local storage locations; synchronization remains optional.
SimpleumSafe is available for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If you need to open the same archive on Windows or Android, SimpleumSafe is not the right cross-platform solution.
Why FileVault does not serve the same purpose
FileVault and SimpleumSafe solve different problems and complement each other.
Protection area
FileVault: Protects the Mac startup volume while it is at rest.
SimpleumSafe: Protects selected files inside a separate encrypted archive.
Organization
FileVault: Keeps the device's existing folder structure.
SimpleumSafe: Provides its own structure with folders, tags, search, and multiple Safes.
Use across devices
FileVault: Protects the individual Mac volume.
SimpleumSafe: Can transfer encrypted Safe changes between configured Apple devices.
Effective protection has several layers
Keep FileVault enabled, protect iPhone and iPad with a strong passcode, and install security updates. SimpleumSafe adds another layer for the documents you deliberately want to keep in a separate archive.
How to get started with SimpleumSafe
- Create a Safe: choose its purpose and a strong, unique Safe password.
- Add documents: SimpleumSafe copies the selected files into the Safe and stores their names and other information there in encrypted form.
- Organize and verify: create folders and tags, test preview and export, and make sure you can reopen the Safe.
- Synchronize if needed: configure the synchronization you want between your Apple devices. The transferred Safe data remains encrypted.
- Back it up independently: create and test a separate backup. Synchronization keeps devices current, but it does not replace a versioned backup.
During import, the original file initially remains in its existing location. Exporting or sharing creates a readable copy outside the Safe. The page “How SimpleumSafe works” explains step by step how SimpleumSafe handles files during import, preview, editing, export, and synchronization.
