Quietake.

An independent, open-source camera

Capture.
Keep.
Yours.

Some moments are just for you.
Give them a little space of their own.

Photos and videos, saved in an encrypted vault on your phone. Optional backups to storage you control.

On your phone.Encrypted at rest.Open to inspection.

A quieter kind of camera

Your moments.
Your call.

A small space to capture, organize, and revisit.
You choose what leaves it.

01

Capture into your vault

Take photos and videos without adding them to your system photo library. Quietake keeps pending captures in private storage until encrypted saving succeeds.

KEEP IT CLOSE
02

Make room for your favorites

Browse, zoom, play, and find things again. Favorites, tags, and search keep your collection personal without sending it to a hosted library.

FIND YOUR MOMENT
03

Bring your own backup

Keep an encrypted ZIP or connect your own HTTPS WebDAV storage. Save your recovery key separately. An independent recovery tool helps you get your files back without the app.

KEEP YOUR OPTIONS

Privacy, with the details included

Clear boundaries.
No magic promises.

An encrypted vault is one part of the picture. Here’s what happens when you choose to share.

Read the full boundaries

Sharing makes a copy

The app you choose receives an unencrypted copy and may keep it. Your vault original stays encrypted.

Casting opens a local stream

Your receiver and local network can access the selected media during casting. That stream is not end-to-end encrypted. Locking stops the session.

Recovery needs preparation

Keep encrypted backups and your recovery key separately. Losing both access and recovery information can mean losing your media.

Still being built and reviewed

Source is available under GPL-3.0. Independent security review and store release checks remain ahead. Google Cast includes its own diagnostics.

Made in the open

Small project.
Room for good ideas.
