About

Gavroche

Gavroche is a password manager for iPhone and Mac that stays local by default. No account to create, no server that could be hacked: your vault is encrypted and stays on your devices. WHY GAVROCHE Plenty of password managers exist, but each one ended up frustrating us: mandatory subscriptions, forced cloud storage, interfaces that ignore Mac and iPhone conventions, or apps that are simply too limited. Gavroche was designed to bring together what was missing: the local-first philosophy of the very first password managers, with the modern comfort of AutoFill and biometrics. SECURITY, NO COMPROMISE - Encrypted vault (AES-GCM) - Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID - Detection of weak, reused or duplicate passwords - Advanced generator: random, memorable or PIN - Verification codes (two-factor authentication) generated right in the app - Passkeys: create and use passkeys on supported websites - Auto-lock, self-clearing clipboard, protection against screen recording - Master password hint, in case you forget it NATIVE AUTOFILL Gavroche integrates with Safari and your apps like any system password manager, with instant biometric unlock. Create a new password right from the AutoFill panel, without leaving the website. Gavroche remembers the websites where you pick an entry, so it is suggested directly next time. A Safari extension is also included. SIMPLE ORGANIZATION Create folders to sort your passwords (banking, work, family...), drag and drop an entry from one folder to another, and import your existing passwords from Apple's Passwords app, Chrome, Firefox or 1Password. YOUR VAULT, YOUR RULES Syncing between your devices stays under your control: device to device over local Wi-Fi, or through optional iCloud sync, end-to-end encrypted. You choose, nothing is forced. On Mac, Gavroche is a one-time purchase: no subscription, no renewal. On iPhone and iPad, the app is completely free. Available in English and French.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gavroche at none against Focus Quest's 32. Gavroche also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Focus Quest's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
