Your bank PIN, home access code and everyday logins—all in a wallet close at hand. Real PIN helps you organize sensitive information as easy-to-recognize cards, then view just what you need when you need it. No separate account is required. FIND IT QUICKLY Use favorites, tags and search to find cards by name, field label, ID or URL. Secret values are not included in search. READ IT CLEARLY Counter Mode displays a selected PIN or password in large type. Values stay masked until you tap to reveal them, with an optional automatic hide setting. The confirmation screen stays awake. Always be mindful of people who can see your screen. MADE FOR EVERYDAY INFORMATION Store bank and payment card PINs, door and parcel locker codes, Wi-Fi passwords, website logins, email accounts, phone and SIM information, memberships and software details. Add secret and memo fields to suit each card, or generate a password. Japan-specific identity card templates are available when using Japanese. NOT SURE? RECORD THAT TOO Mark a PIN as unknown or keep multiple candidates, then update it once confirmed. Recording candidates does not change an issuer's failed-attempt limit. ENCRYPTED ON YOUR DEVICE Data is encrypted using AES-GCM, with the encryption key managed in Keychain. Opening the app requires Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. BACK UP AND RESTORE Export a password-protected encrypted backup for recovery or a new device. Optional encrypted automatic backups to iCloud are also available. Keep your backup password safe. READY FOR iPHONE DUO Layouts adapt to the way you open the device. See cards beside their details in book posture, or the secret above the controls in tabletop posture. Closing the device hides any revealed secrets. ABOUT PREMIUM The standard version supports up to five cards. A seven-day trial lets you try Premium visual features, including card stacks and designs. Unlimited cards require a Premium purchase. Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited cards, stack view, and design and color customization. There is no subscription. A small everyday wallet for the details you do not want to forget.
