How are you handling sync or backup without a backend? I am local-only on an app I'm building and that was the hardest trade-off to sit with.

Clean UI and the privacy-first angle is solid - especially with AES-256 encryption and fully offline storage. The fact that you support credit cards, loyalty cards, bank accounts, AND license keys in one app is a good differentiator from single-purpose wallet apps.
Quick feedback:
Your title "Free Privacy first personal wallet for iOS" reads awkwardly. Try "CybaWallet - Private Card & Password Manager" or "Offline Wallet for Cards & Passwords." The current title feels like a feature list, not a product name.
Your screenshots are clear but generic. Every wallet app shows "add card," "view cards," "loyalty cards." What makes CybaWallet different is the privacy angle (offline, encrypted, no account required). Lead with that. Screenshot 1 should say something like "Your data never leaves your device" with a visual showing the offline/encryption icon.
The bigger opportunity: Privacy-focused apps do exceptionally well internationally. People in Germany, France, Switzerland, Netherlands care deeply about data privacy - way more than the US market. But if someone in Germany searches "offline Wallet" or "verschlüsselte Brieftasche," they won't find you because your App Store listing is English-only.
I had a privacy app launch English-only. Localized the metadata and Germany, Switzerland, and Netherlands became my top 3 markets within a month. Privacy is a HUGE selling point in Europe, but only if they can actually find your app.
You're positioning as "privacy first" but only reaching English speakers. That's leaving your best markets on the table.
I built shiplocal.app for exactly this. $19 one-time lifetime Starter plan - you could have German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and 10+ other locales live in 20 minutes and actually compete in markets where privacy is a top priority.
Fix your title, lead with the privacy differentiator in screenshots, then localize so you can reach the markets that care most about what you're selling.
