Your Vault, now on Mac and iPad
Guard now runs beautifully across all your Apple devices. Enjoy full camera integration, instant push notifications, and seamless scrolling. On Mac, drag and drop files straight from Finder into your Vault - backing up your digital assets has never been easier. Protect your crypto on iPhone, guard it on your iPad and Mac.
Address Explorer: keept track of all your Bitcoin addresses
Instantly derive and view all Bitcoin address formats from your seed phrase - Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot. We've also expanded support for popular wallet formats including Electrum, SLIP39 (Trezor), Monero, and more. Whatever wallet you use, Guard speaks your language.
Upload assets from any browser
Introducing our new web uploader. Drag-and-drop any file from any device, any operating system. Your files are encrypted and sent directly to your Vault. Nothing stays on your computer after you close the tab. Perfect for securing documents, keys, and sensitive files from any machine.
Action Dashboard: never miss what matters
Critical notifications now appear front and center on your Dashboard. Recovery requests from Guardians, Inheritance approvals, voice memos from loved ones - everything important is visible the moment you open the app. No more digging through notification screens when time-sensitive actions are waiting.
Redesigned onboarding experience
Getting started with Guard is now faster and more intuitive. Our new onboarding guides you through all the features, shows you exactly how to protect your assets, and gets you set up with a free trial in minutes. Your first Vault is just a few taps away.
Open-source cryptography you can trust
We open-sourced capacitor-shamir — our implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing, the same cryptography that secures your Vault. Available for iOS, Android, and Web. Full transparency: anyone can audit our core security. That's real trust, not just promises.
Import passwords from Apple Passwords
Backup your entire password collection in one tap. Using Apple's latest Credentials API on iOS 26 and macOS 26, you can now import all your passwords and passkeys directly into your Vault. If you ever lose your device, restore them instantly. Guard was one of the first apps this year to support this new Apple feature.
Pay with crypto, right from the app
More payment flexibility for our users. You can now pay for your subscription with Ethereum or VGT directly from pay.vault12.com, linked right in the app. Use the payment method that works best for you - credit card, Apple Pay, or crypto.
All-in on premium quality
Guard is now a premium-only service. Every subscriber gets the full experience: secure Vaults, all features unlocked, priority support. Start with a free trial and experience everything Guard has to offer. When you're protecting life-changing wealth, you deserve a service that's 100% focused on paying customers.
Smarter app, better experience
We've invested in understanding how you use Guard so we can make it even better. Our fully anonymous analytics help us identify friction points, streamline common workflows, and prioritize the features you actually need. Every update is now informed by real usage patterns.
