Looking for an Android app that serves as both a vault and a PDF reader (lemmy.ml)

Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.

I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it's not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.

I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.

UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de, will provide a review of the app later

you can use Safe Space app, it uses your device keystore to encrypt your vault and the PDF file is opened inside it

Yep, I searched for "Safe Place" as was originally in your comment and found "Safe Space" seconds later, which I assumed what you were referring to

green pass pdf wallet ☞ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.michaeltroger.gruenerpass/ or https://github.com/michaeltroger/greenpass-android

This app is a simple to use PDF Wallet. That means it takes over the task to store and display your most important PDF certificates.

DroidFS has been working well for me. It's available on F-Droid.
