FEATURES - Cards, passwords, and documents in one encrypted vault - Face ID / Touch ID unlock with a master password fallback - Password AutoFill across apps and Safari - Store documents and open them from the Files app - Card scanner to add cards with your camera - Clean, fast, native design SECURE STORAGE PRO - Unlimited cards, passwords, and documents - Optional iCloud sync, end-to-end encrypted and keyed to your master password, so only your devices can read it - Dark mode - Premium animated and custom card designs Available monthly or yearly (7-day free trial on the yearly plan), or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. PRIVACY No servers, no tracking, no data collection. Your vault stays on your device; if you turn on iCloud sync, only an encrypted backup is stored in your own private iCloud. Note: your master password cannot be recovered. If you forget it, your data cannot be decrypted. Please remember it.
