Layered vault model
Build a flexible protection strategy around a main password, hidden section and keyfile support.
A local and secure workspace for documents, media and private files
Control private files with more clarity in one place
B Safe brings layered vault structure, metadata sanitization, Touch ID access and controlled preview into one clean desktop experience.
Encrypted storage
Hidden section support
Local-first flow
- Contracts, financial records and private assets can live inside one protected workspace.
- Highly sensitive material can stay separated with hidden section and keyfile support.
- Media files can be prepared for safer sharing with metadata sanitization.

Features
Core features that differentiate B Safe
Each layer is designed to help manage sensitive files with more security, structure and control.
Hidden section and controlled visibility
Different content layers can be opened with different passwords so highly sensitive material stays separated from the standard view.
Touch ID and auto-lock
The app integrates with macOS authentication flows while keeping protection active when it moves into the background.
Metadata sanitization
Image metadata such as EXIF, GPS and related fields can be removed to reduce accidental exposure.
Controlled preview
Open text, PDF and image files inside the app to reduce unnecessary exports and scattered temporary files.
Guided packaging
Compression level, expiration date, carrier image and notes help shape the vault around real operating needs.
Flow
More organized and more controlled protection in three steps
B Safe turns technical security choices into clear product steps so teams can focus on decisions instead of complex commands.
Stage your files
Use drag and drop to separate main files, hidden content and notes before packaging.
Choose your security rules
Set password, keyfile, Touch ID, metadata sanitization and expiration options from one guided wizard.
Open, preview and manage
Access locked content in a controlled way, preview it, export if needed or seal it again.
Architecture
The confidence comes from more than the surface
Behind the modern interface, B Safe runs with strong encryption, integrity checks and controlled preview layers.
Comparison
Why does B Safe feel more complete as a desktop security product?
The codebase combines layered vault logic, AES-GCM sealing, PBKDF2 hardening with 1,200,000 iterations, integrity verification, metadata sanitization and controlled preview. That makes B Safe feel like more than storage: it feels guided and operationally ready.
| Criteria | B Safe | VeraCrypt | Cryptomator | Keka / BetterZip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cryptographic foundation | AES-GCM sealing, PBKDF2 hardening and integrity verification in one guided flow | Strong encryption, but the workflow is more technical | Strong vault model, with a stronger cloud-folder focus | Mostly centered on archive handling and password protection |
| Layered access model | Main vault, hidden section, keyfile and Touch ID can work together | Strong container logic, but more manual in practice | Standard vault model without hidden-section behavior | Convenient archives rather than layered protection |
| Preview and access flow | Code-level controlled preview and single-panel management | Often requires mounting and external handling | Good for cloud vault scenarios, less operational on desktop | Good archive browsing, lighter secure-preview story |
| Operational safeguards | Metadata sanitization, expiry controls, suspicious-path checks and extraction limits | Often depends on extra tools and user discipline | Scenario-dependent privacy considerations remain | Operational privacy is not the main product focus |
| Product feel | Technical depth with a calm UI, making security choices faster and clearer | Closer to power users | Clear in its niche | Practical, but less like a premium security product |
This comparison is simplified from the app code paths covering crypto flow, hidden section handling, keyfile support, controlled preview and safety checks.
