UnoLock in 60 Seconds

UnoLock is a sovereign digital vault. It protects your most sensitive digital assets—crypto seed phrases, passwords, documents, and more—with military-grade security that even we can't break.

Here's what makes it different.

The Core Idea

Your data + Your encryption keys = Only you can access

Unlike traditional cloud storage where the provider holds the keys, UnoLock encrypts everything on your device before it ever leaves. We store encrypted blobs we cannot read. No keys. No backdoors. No access.

Zero-knowledge architecture: We know nothing about what you store.

What You Can Protect

Asset Type How UnoLock Protects It
Seed Phrases SeedSafe splits and encrypts with quadruple layers
Crypto Keys Digital Paper Wallet generates and secures BTC/ETH keys
Passwords Encrypted records with secure viewing
Documents Client-side encrypted file storage
Messages Vault Messaging for anonymous, encrypted transmission

Key Features (30-Second Overview)

Security

  • AES-256 + Post-Quantum Encryption - Protected against today's hackers and tomorrow's quantum computers
  • FIDO2/Biometric Login - No passwords to steal
  • Zero-Knowledge - We can't see your data, ever

Protection

  • DuressDecoy - Hide marked sensitive Spaces if coerced (Sovereign)
  • Plausible Deniability - Permanently delete marked sensitive Spaces if coerced (HighRisk)
  • Spaces - Compartmentalize data with separate access controls

Inheritance

  • LegacyLink - Designated successors gain access if you're incapacitated
  • LockoutGuard - Recover access if you lose your devices
  • Time Lock - Temporarily lock an individual access key for a chosen number of hours

Privacy

  • No Identity Required - Create a vault without providing personal information
  • Bitcoin Payments - Pay anonymously
  • No Tracking - No cookies, no analytics on your data

How It Works (Technical Summary)

1. You create a vault (no email required)
2. You authenticate via FIDO2/biometric
3. Your device generates encryption keys
4. Data is encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM
5. Encrypted blobs upload to AWS S3 (multi-region)
6. Keys never leave your device
7. To access: authenticate → keys regenerate → decrypt locally

Result: Even if our entire infrastructure were compromised, attackers would get encrypted noise.

The Two Tiers

Both tiers cost US$30 per year (US$2.50 per month equivalent) and include the same features: LegacyLink, LockoutGuard, Spaces, DPW, Vault Messaging, 1 GB of storage, and 2 access keys (up to 10). They differ only in what the safeword PIN does.

Tier Best For Safeword PIN Response
Sovereign Serious holders DuressDecoy: hides marked sensitive Spaces
HighRisk Maximum security LifeSafe: permanently deletes marked sensitive Spaces

What Makes UnoLock Different

Traditional Solutions UnoLock
Provider holds encryption keys You hold encryption keys
Can be compelled to give access Nothing to give—zero knowledge
Hacked = your data exposed Hacked = encrypted noise exposed
No inheritance planning LegacyLink built in
No coercion protection DuressDecoy, plausible deniability
Classical encryption only Post-quantum ready
Requires personal information Anonymous by design

Common Questions

"What if UnoLock disappears?" Your data is encrypted on AWS S3 with multi-region redundancy. Even if UnoLock as a company ceased to exist, your encrypted data persists. With your keys, you can always decrypt.

"What if I lose my device?" LockoutGuard lets you recover access through a secure process you configure in advance.

"Can governments force you to hand over my data?" We have nothing to hand over. Zero-knowledge means we don't have your keys or unencrypted data. We can only provide encrypted blobs we cannot read.

"Is this just for crypto?" No. UnoLock protects any sensitive digital asset—legal documents, medical records, family photos, business secrets, or anything you need to keep private and accessible.
