lowkey safe is a password generator and vault that runs entirely on your device. There is no account to create, no sync service and no cloud. Everything you save is kept in an encrypted vault that never leaves your iPhone. GENERATE • Basic — a strong random password in one tap • Advanced — set the length and choose exactly which characters to include or exclude • Passphrase — real words strung together, so you can actually remember it • Pronounceable — easy to say and type, without being a real word TWO-FACTOR CODES Add a 2FA key to an entry and the six-digit code sits right next to the password, with a countdown so you know whether to use it now or wait for the next one. Tap to copy. Paste in the secret or the whole otpauth link — there is no QR scanner yet. SECURE NOTES Not everything worth protecting is a password. Keep Wi-Fi codes, recovery keys, account numbers and software licences in the same encrypted vault, in their own tab. Write a note however you like, one item per line. Tap a line to copy it. When a line reads like "Account: 12345", tapping copies just the number — press and hold to copy the whole line instead. No selecting text, no fiddling with a cursor. CHECK WHAT YOU ALREADY USE Type in an existing password and see what it is really made of: length, character types, pool size and entropy, plus an estimated brute-force time you can model against different GPUs and hashing algorithms. lowkey safe also warns you when a password looks suspiciously similar to one you have already saved. KEEP IT ORGANISED Save what you generate with a label like Gmail or Netflix, add notes, tags and categories, and star the ones you reach for most. Search looks inside your notes too. When it is time to change a password, the change flow keeps the old one linked as history instead of losing it. Logins have their own fields for the account name and the website, so an entry is more than just a password. SEE WHAT IS WEAK Insights reads your saved passwords and tells you what needs attention: which ones are weak, which ones you have reused across sites, and how your strength is spread overall. MOVE IN FROM ANOTHER APP Already using something else? Import a CSV export from Chrome, Edge, Safari, 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass or KeePass. You see a preview before anything is written, and entries you already have are flagged instead of added twice. STAY IN CONTROL • App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode • The vault is encrypted with AES-256, and the key is held in the iOS Keychain • Copied passwords are marked local-only, so they never travel to your other devices • Deleted entries go to a recycle bin first, so a mistake stays recoverable • Encrypted, keyword-protected backups (Argon2id and AES-256-GCM) for moving to a new phone PRIVACY No account, no sync, no ads. Optional anonymous usage analytics are switched off by default and can stay that way — they never include a password, a label or a note. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
