With the TrueSecure™ Key app, use your phone to open TrueSecure equipped doors. Stop digging around for key cards & fobs in your bag. When your access control system is equipped with TrueSecure hardware, your smartphone can remain in your pocket to unlock the door. Use your phone to unlock doors – either from your pocket or by holding your phone near the door’s reader. The TrueSecure Key app transmits your digital key via the phone’s Bluetooth to the reader/lock to authenticate your mobile key & unlock the door. Very little battery power is used. Your phone can remain locked with the app open and running in the background. The app can hold multiple keys to open multiple doors. This app will only work with TrueSecure-enabled hardware. Your access control administrator will need to issue you a TrueSecure mobile key credential.

TrueSecure Key holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nimbio has 53 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Nimbio's written reviews are positive against 0% of TrueSecure Key's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nimbio ships an update every 5 weeks, TrueSecure Key every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
