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 - Dropbox - FTPS - Google Drive - iCloud - MEGA - Microsoft OneDrive - SSH === 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

About

Nook

Features
Read full description

Nook is an RSS reader for people who would rather choose what they read. Add a feed, or paste a website and let Nook find the feed for you. Your subscriptions, what you have read, and what you have starred live on your device. There is no account to create, and nothing about your reading is sent anywhere. A READER THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Articles render natively, with real typography rather than a web page squeezed into a phone. Headings, quotes, code, tables, nested lists, images, and video all keep their structure. Set the font, size, line height, letter spacing, and colours, and switch any single feed to a full-page reader or the original site when its own layout is worth keeping. WORKS WITHOUT A NETWORK Nook is offline-first, not offline-capable. It launches, lists, and reads with no connection. Choose the articles to keep for later and decide when they expire. SYNC WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Point Nook at a folder in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or anywhere else that syncs files, and your feeds, read state, stars, categories, and folders follow you between devices. The folder service moves the files; Nook merges them, per device, so two devices changed at once do not overwrite each other. No server of ours is involved, because there isn't one. TRANSLATION, ON YOUR TERMS Translate a full article or just the titles in a list. Apple Intelligence runs on the device and costs nothing. Gemini is opt-in and uses an API key you provide, kept in this device's Keychain and never placed in the sync folder. ORGANISE IT HOWEVER YOU THINK Folders for feeds, colour-coded categories for articles, keyword rules, and text filters that collect what you would rather not see instead of deleting it. Optionally let Apple Intelligence or Gemini sort new articles by subject. QUIET BY DEFAULT No advertising, no tracking, no analytics, and no engagement mechanics. Badges and new-article notifications start off, and Nook asks for permission only after you turn one on — never at launch. PUBLISHING (BETA, INVITATION ONLY) Nook can also publish what you write. Articles are stored as records in an AT Protocol repository that belongs to you, and served as a web page with a real feed others can subscribe to. You can export every record and delete it at any time, including while publishing is suspended. This part of Nook is in beta and needs an invitation; everything above works without one.
