About Valv

Valv is an Android vault for storing photos, GIFs, videos, and text files in encrypted form on the device. Users protect access with a password or PIN and can organize files into folders, add notes, and create multiple vaults with different passwords. The app includes day and night appearance modes. Files are encrypted before being stored on disk, which allows the encrypted files to be backed up or transferred between devices. The product description identifies ChaCha20 as the file cipher and PBKDF2 with HMAC-SHA512 for deriving keys from the password. It also states that the app requires no permissions. These details describe the supplied encryption design; users still need to remember their password or PIN to access each vault. Valv is intended for keeping selected personal files in a separate, password-protected gallery rather than browsing the device’s entire media library. It supports several file types and allows separate vaults for organizing content. The supplied description does not explain password recovery or automatic import from the main gallery, so those capabilities should not be assumed.
