LocalPass does not collect any personal data whatsoever and does not talk to any external data servers. It only ever talks to the internet if you have account icons or iCloud sync enabled. - iOS Development Enthusiasts: LocalPass is an open-source personal project, created by a Computer Science student. If you are an iOS developer and enjoy using LocalPass, consider exploring the codebase and submit a pull request to enhance the security and features of LocalPass. Coming Soon: - iCloud Sync (Optional): While your data is protected by encryption on your device, LocalPass will provide the option to sync your encrypted data with iCloud between devices for convenience. Only encrypted data will ever be stored in iCloud, just like on your device. - Recycle Bin (Optional): Mistakenly delete something? The recycle bin will help you recover that data securely. - Password Change Reminders (Optional): Stay secure with password change reminders at your chosen frequency. - Folders: Help organize your passwords and secure notes with customizable folders. - Secure Storage for Credit Cards and IDs: Store credit cards, ID numbers, or whatever you'd like! This will also include support for autofilling credit card details. - Enhanced iPad Support: LocalPass v1.0 has been designed with the iPhone in mind, however better support for iPad (and Mac running as an iPad app) is coming!
