VC Port 0.3.7 — open VeraCrypt file containers on Android and iPhone (FOSS, offline, stable alpha)
I made VC Port — a phone app that opens the same VeraCrypt file containers (.hc, .tc, .vera, or any disguise name) you already use on a computer.
This is not VeraCrypt. I am not allowed to use that name. It is a derived work with the VeraCrypt volume core, so TrueCrypt License 3.0 is inherited (not a random TrueCrypt revival). Phone UI is Apache-2.0.
What it does
- Pick a locked file (on the phone, or a file on a USB stick — not the whole USB disk).
- Type password / PIM / keyfiles. Master build does not remember passwords.
- Browse folders on a Mounted tab inside the app. This is not a system drive — Files / Files.app cannot browse the unlocked folder. That is intentional (seizure / forensic leftovers).
- Copy or move several files between the phone and an open volume, or between two open volumes.
- Create new volumes on the phone (with the same finger-scribble entropy step as the desktop wizard, mixed with the OS CSPRNG).
- Share encrypted — send the locked file as-is, no password on the send.
- Panic wipe / Dismount clears secrets on the phone. The ciphertext file is not deleted.
Platforms: Android + iPhone. Offline by default — FOSS build has no INTERNET permission. No ads, no analytics, no crash reporters.
Honest limits
- Not unbreakable. A compelled password still wins.
- 0.3.7 is a stable alpha, not 1.0, not a Play/App Store build.
- GitHub APK is a debug-signed preview. Production = build FOSS yourself and sign with your keystore.
- iPhone: unsigned IPA — you sign with your Apple ID (AltStore / SideStore or Xcode). I do not ship a store-signed app.
Not included: whole-disk USB unlock like OTG Master. If your stick is one big VeraCrypt partition, use OTG Master or a PC. If the volume is a file on the stick, pick that file in VC Port.
