Unlinked is a password vault that stays on this iPhone — on purpose. Most password apps sync to the cloud and fill logins automatically. That is convenient. Unlinked chooses a smaller attack surface instead: no account, no iCloud sync, no server copy of your vault, and no system AutoFill. You unlock, copy, paste, and the clipboard clears. Slightly more steps; you decide every time a secret leaves the app. How it works • Master passphrase unlocks the vault on this device (biometrics optional) • 12-word recovery phrase — write it on paper once • Generate strong secrets, organize logins, notes, cards, and more • Everything encrypted at rest on this iPhone Free tier • Local encrypted vault • Create and edit items (limited count) • Password generator with basic presets • Themes and accent color Unlinked Pro (one-time purchase — no subscription) • Unlimited items • Authenticator codes (TOTP) • Password health findings you can open and fix • Password history with restore • Encrypted backup import/export (move to another iPhone you control) • Printable recovery card PDF (from your phrase — not a dump of every password) • Full vault PDF export when you need a controlled paper copy • Local rotation reminders (e.g. Bank PIN) Who it’s for People who want a serious offline vault without subscriptions, cloud accounts, or AutoFill — and who accept copy-and-paste as the trade for staying unlinked. Important If you lose both your master passphrase and your 12-word recovery phrase — and you have no encrypted backup — this vault cannot be recovered. Unlinked cannot reset access for you. No cloud. Deleting the app removes the local vault unless you exported a backup. That is the cost of staying fully offline. Privacy policy: https://z0iq.com/apps/privacy · Licensed under Apple’s Standard EULA.
