Help for Brume on iPhone

What Brume is

Brume keeps photographs on your iPhone in an encrypted vault. Unlock with a six-digit passcode. Optional Disguise mode, off by default, opens Brume as a weather app until you type that passcode into search.

First launch

  1. Read the onboarding cards. The first one warns that there is no passcode recovery.
  2. Create a six-digit passcode and confirm it.
  3. Import photos with the add control in the gallery.

Write the passcode down. Brume cannot recover it.

Disguise mode

Off by default. In Settings, turn Disguise on, pick a city, then type your passcode into search once. After that, Brume opens as weather. Search works as a city search. The same six digits unlock the vault.

Weather

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo. Brume never uses GPS. Attribution: Weather data by Open-Meteo.com.

Photos and originals

Import copies photos into Brume. You can ask Brume to remove the Photos originals afterward. iOS keeps those in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

If you forget the passcode

There is no reset. The only way to start over is Settings, Erase Brume, which deletes every photo in the vault. Photos still in the iOS Photos app are not deleted by that action unless you already removed originals.

If weather fails to load

Check the network. City search needs a connection to Open-Meteo. Photos in the vault do not.
