## What is ScipherKey?

ScipherKey is a powerful data security App that keeps all your sensitive information on your mobile devices. This includes User Names and Passwords, Credit Card and Bank Account information, PDF Documents, Images, and Secure Notes.

ScipherKey is the only security App that allows you to synchronize your information on all your Apple devices (Mac and iDevices) ***without sending your data over the internet***.

ScipherKey is completely free and there is no limitation on the number of items you can enter (except of course the memory space limitation on your device). No subscriptions or other hidden fees.

Here is a list of main features:
- Protect all of your private information using a single password.
- Synchronize all information, images, and PDF files across all your devices securely without sending your information over the Internet and cloud. ScipherKey uses the Multi-Peer Connectivity for synchronization so it doesn't even need an Internet connection to synchronize your information.

- Customize items by modifying/deleting existing fields or adding new fields. (9 different types of fields)

- Use ScipherKey’s smart search feature to easily and quickly find the items you are looking for.
- Use the built-in Password Generator to create strong passwords.
- Lots of additional features including Auto-Lock, Secure Copy/Paste, temporary lock out on failed login attempts, Reset password using optional Security Questions, and more.

### 5/5 — The best! Even got better!

*2017-07-23*

No data security app that I have tried even comes close!
Especially the ability to sync data to multiple devices without cloud or internet. 
Best of all, it's free!
An issue that I recently had- not being able to sync devices- was due to a Mac version update being slightly delayed. 
The developer responded to my request, and provided the update within a couple of days. 
What an excellent product, with personalized correspondence and attention!
