Your important documents.
One familiar place to work.
SimpleumSafe is an encrypted file manager for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Bring documents into a Safe, keep them organized and use them when you need them.
You work much like in Finder: drag, open and organize. The stored Safe copy stays encrypted; previewing, editing and sharing use authorized access to file contents. The relevant differences are explained alongside each feature.
Bring your documents together
Existing files, paper documents and new captures — ready for your Safe.
Bring existing files into your Safe
Import documents from the places you already use. SimpleumSafe encrypts the imported copy.
Importing documents on macOS
Scan paper documents
Turn invoices, letters and contracts into files stored in your encrypted Safe.
macOS
Scan directly into an open Safe without first saving the completed scan to the desktop or Finder.
- Choose color, black and white, or text scanning.
- Set resolution, select the scan area and choose a format such as PDF, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF or PNG.
iOS · iPhone & iPad
Use the camera on your iPhone or iPad. Crop automatically or manually and combine multiple pages into a PDF.
The completed PDF is stored in the encrypted Safe without intentionally adding it to Photos. Temporary files used during processing are removed after import.
Capture photos and videos - iOS
Photograph a receipt, record a video or capture a document directly from SimpleumSafe. The result is saved in the encrypted Safe; SimpleumSafe does not intentionally add it to your regular Photos library.
This is useful for IDs, signed contracts or medical documents you want to keep separately from everyday pictures.
Choose Take photo from the + menu. You can keep or discard the capture, take a new one and rename it when saving. The same applies to video recordings.
Capture directly from the app
Keep order. Find things again.
Give your archive a structure that works for you.
Organize files
macOS
Folders, Favorites and Tags help you keep an overview – even as your archive grows over the years.
You decide whether you just want to store files securely in the Safe or whether you want to create a structured archive of your documents. Using folders, you can create nested structures to suit your organizational needs.
iOS · iPhone & iPad
Keeping your Safe organized helps you find important documents quickly later – without digging through folders.
The file manager is one of the main features in SimpleumSafe for iOS. Folders, Favorites and Tags help you organize your data on iPhone. You decide whether you just want to store files securely in the Safe or whether you want to create a proper archive of your documents. Using folders, you can create nested structures to suit your organizational needs.
Find documents with tags
Give files one or more tags, then search or filter by them. Personalize each tag with a color and one of around 100 icons — for example Finances, Important or Health.
macOS
iOS · iPhone & iPad
Advanced Search · macOS, iPhone and iPad
Find it again — even without the exact file name.
Remember a word in a document, its subject or when you filed it? Advanced Search helps you narrow down the files in your open Safe.
- Search for what you remember. Look through file names, comments and searchable document content.
- Narrow down the selection. Combine tags, file format, folders and dates. Preview the number of matching files before applying your search.
- Reuse searches you need often. Save your search conditions for this Safe on your device. Run the search again to see the files that currently match.
Advanced Search on iPhone: “Budget” combined with PDF, with one matching file.
Searching document text requires the content to be prepared for full-text search. Saved searches apply to this Safe on this device and are not transferred to other devices.
Shortcuts that feel familiar - macOS
Move and reorganize
Drag files and folders within a Safe or between two open Safes. Import from Finder or drag files back to Finder to export decrypted copies.
Tag and keep close
Drag a file onto a tag — or a tag onto a file. Drag a file to the sidebar to make it a favorite.
Clear what you no longer need
Drag files, folders, tags and favorites to the trash.
Open it. See it. Work with it.
Use your documents and photos with the appropriate access for each platform.
Preview and work with your files
View documents, scroll through multi-page PDFs and add comments. Show file information when you need it, or hide it for more preview space.
macOS
Preview files or open them in a compatible Mac app. SimpleumSafe provides a usable working copy inside its encrypted Secure Temporary Storage. Changes are imported back into the Safe; the stored Safe copy remains encrypted.
iOS · iPhone & iPad
On iPhone and iPad, swipe between images and documents. Tap the preview to view it in full screen.
Preview files inside SimpleumSafe without first exporting them to another app. The Safe copy remains encrypted; SimpleumSafe decrypts the content needed for the authorized preview.
Enjoy photos in full screen
Browse images or start a slideshow inside SimpleumSafe, without first exporting them to Photos or Finder.
macOS
Full-screen image viewer
- Navigate with mouse or keyboard; zoom in and out.
- Reveal the thumbnail strip to jump to another image.
The stored copies remain encrypted. macOS previews use encrypted Secure Temporary Storage.
iOS · iPhone & iPad
Image viewer on iPhone
- Swipe between pictures, zoom in or start a slideshow.
- Tap to reveal controls; swipe navigation also works while they are hidden.
Stored copies in the Safe remain encrypted while the app displays the authorized preview.
Use your Safe through the Files app - iOS
Configure access to a Safe from other apps for a specified time. SimpleumSafe then appears as a storage location in Apple’s Files app.
For example, save a document from a word processor, store a PDF from a scanner app or move documents into your Safe through Files.
SimpleumSafe in the iPad Files app
Share deliberately. Stay up to date.
Choose what leaves the Safe and how your devices work together.
Share or export selected files
You choose which files leave the Safe and where they go. Sharing or exporting provides a decrypted copy to the destination; your copy inside the Safe remains encrypted.
macOS
- Drag files into Finder.
- Use Share to send a file to another app.
- Choose Export from the menu or toolbar.
Exported files retain their tags and date information.
iOS · iPhone & iPad
Use Share for apps and services such as Mail, iMessage or AirDrop. You can also export to a location accessible through the Files app.
Keep your devices in sync
Synchronization is optional. Choose how to keep your Safes up to date across your devices.
iCloud
Synchronize through iCloud.
Local wireless
Synchronize in your local network, without internet access.
Shared folder
Synchronize between Macs using a shared folder.
What stays protected
The synchronization target holds encrypted Safe data and encrypted change information, but not the separate Safe key file. A copied synchronization data set and the password alone are therefore not enough to decrypt the Safe.
This assumes an attacker has not also obtained the Safe key file, an unlocked device or recovery material. Synchronization does not replace a separate backup.
More room for your documents
Flexible storage for an archive that changes over time.
An archive that can grow
Store as many files and folders as your storage location can hold. The Safe imposes no file-size limit; available storage remains the practical limit.
All kinds of files
Store photos, Office documents, PDFs, ZIP archives, videos, CAD files and project files.
Choose a storage location
Keep a Safe on your hard drive, USB storage, a network drive or in the cloud.
Separate Safes
Create independent Safes for private documents, work, projects or other topics.
Time Machine - macOS
The Safe format is optimized for Time Machine backups, so you can restore earlier states from your backups.
