Passify is a new type of password manager... It does not store your passwords. Instead, Passify algorithmically generates them using a Personal Secret you choose... Giving you simple and complete control without keeping your passwords anywhere. === OVERVIEW ================== With Passify, you can mitigate the risk of storing your passwords on your device or in The Cloud. Unlike other password managers, Passify does not store your passwords and instead stores only the rules necessary to algorithmically re-generate them when you need them. Passify remembers your generation rules, and you remember a Personal Secret. Your Personal Secret is not permanently stored and without it, it is impossible for Passify to generate your correct passwords. If your device or your data is lost, stolen or compromised, the attacker will not have be able to acquire your passwords from Passify unless they know your Personal Secret. === FEATURES ================== * ALGORITHMIC PASSWORDS Passify algorithmically re-generates your passwords, eliminating the attack vector caused by storing them. * ONE PERSONAL SECRET, UNLIMITED PASSWORDS With a single Personal Secret, Passify manages unique passwords for all of your accounts without storing them. * DATA BREACH NOTIFICATIONS Passify can alert you if any password has been exposed online in a known data breach. * EASY PASSWORD UPDATES Let Passify remind you when you've used a password for a while and should update it, and easily view your password history. * AUTO-FILL Passify's integration with Apple iOS Password Auto-Fill allows you to safely enter usernames and passwords without retyping or using the clipboard. * EASY PASSWORD CREATION If Passify knows the password rules for a domain you're adding, it will automatically configure the generation rules for you. * 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION Passify supports the Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) standard for 2-Factor Authentication, eliminating the need for a separate authenticator app and avoiding insecure SMS text message authentication. * BACKUP AND SYNC ON YOUR TERMS Sync your generation rules across devices without losing control of your data. Passify integrates with your own file hosting provider for sync: - Amazon S3 - BackBlazeB2 - Dropbox - FTPS - Google Drive - iCloud - MEGA - Microsoft OneDrive - NextCloud - ownCloud - pCloud - SSH - WebDAV === ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ================== More information, Frequently Asked Questions, Help, and Videos are available at: https://passify.app View our Privacy Policy at: htts://passify.app/privacy View our Terms of Use & End-User License Agreement at: https://passify.app/terms

FlatNote is a markdown notes app for people who want their writing to stay plain, portable, and theirs. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and your notes sync across all of them through your own iCloud, or stay in a folder you choose. Type markdown and watch it format as you go. Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, quotes, bullet lists, and tappable checkboxes all render while you write. The raw symbols stay out of your way and reappear only on the line you are editing, so you always know exactly what you typed. WHAT YOU GET - Live formatting. See the result as you type, with a one minute reference note included. - Photos in your notes.
