Does LockLens remove EXIF metadata from photos?
Yes. Metadata is stripped at capture so shared images expose no location or device details. There is no intermediate step where unstripped images are stored.
Private Camera And Vault
Capture photos without leaving a trail behind.
LockLens is the RichfieldLabs private camera and encrypted photo vault for Android. Built for sensitive images, metadata-aware sharing, and local protection instead of defaulting to cloud galleries.
Private Camera Flow
Capture sensitive photos in a camera flow designed around privacy rather than public sharing defaults.
No Metadata Baggage
EXIF metadata including GPS location is stripped at capture so images are easier to share without location leakage.
Encrypted Vault
AES-256-GCM encrypted local storage, biometric lock, and anti-intrusion features protect your photos.
Features
What LockLens protects
The approach is simple: take sensitive photos, keep them encrypted, and avoid exposing location or device metadata when the image leaves your phone.
- Private camera capture flow
- EXIF and location metadata stripped on capture
- AES-256 encrypted photo vault
- Biometric lock support
- Decoy PIN and intruder selfie protection
- No cloud account requirement for core vault usage
Privacy Model
Why LockLens is different
Most camera apps assume photos belong in a cloud timeline. LockLens is built for the opposite assumption: some images should remain local, protected, and stripped down before sharing.
LockLens is not trying to become a social camera or a general gallery. It is aimed at privacy-sensitive capture and storage.
Metadata is removed at capture because location and device details often leak through the photo file itself — before the image even leaves your phone.
Biometric lock, decoy PIN, and intruder selfie protection address physical access as a real-world privacy threat, not a theoretical one.

Is LockLens meant to replace my normal gallery app?
No. It is a private camera and encrypted vault for sensitive captures, not a broad replacement for every photo workflow.
Does LockLens rely on a cloud account?
No. Core vault usage requires no cloud account. Everything stays in encrypted local storage on your device.
