[iOS] Built an offline vault app - need honest UI/UX feedback

Hey folks,

I recently shipped “In My Pocket”

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/in-my-pocket-offline-vault/id6444294006

Main idea:

  • 100% offline storage, no cloud, no accounts, just local data
  • Store key/value pairs like IBANs, loyalty cards, access codes, etc.
  • Core features are free, a $3 one-time IAP unlocks a few extras

Where I need help:
I deliberately went with stock iOS components for speed and familiarity, but the result feels very plain. I’m looking for constructive UI/UX suggestions to make it cleaner and more pleasant without adding bloat.

Next update: import/export between devices

Would love if you could check it out and tell me what you’d change. Brutal honesty welcome.

I would sooner trust iCloud with sensitive data than an obscure app built by one individual.

Totally get that. I built it for myself first, and it’s 100% offline, you can check with a sniffer, no internet calls at all. Open source doesn’t really fix the trust issue, but I’d love if Apple had a clear ‘no network access’ permission to make it obvious.
