What Vault Studio Pro is, in one paragraph
A document, spreadsheet, presentation, PDF and image editor that runs in your browser and processes files on your device. No account, no ads or tracking, and a Content-Security-Policy that refuses connections to other sites. PDF redaction is free and removes the text under each box. Files stored in the browser are not encrypted; .vault exports use AES-256-GCM. It has no collaboration, no AI features, and no compliance certifications or BAA. See security and pricing.
