About

Coden

Features
Read full description

Coden is a beautifully simple password generator. Generate strong, cryptographically secure passwords in one click — and never compromise on privacy. No accounts. No cloud. No subscriptions. Pay once, use forever. THREE WAYS TO GENERATE • Symbols — classic random passwords with full control over length, numbers, symbols, and uppercase letters. • Words — memorable passphrases built from real words, with custom separators and optional numbers. • Bulk — generate up to 500 passwords at once and copy any of them with a single click. BUILT FOR IPHONE • Native SwiftUI app, fast and lightweight. • Generate a password in one tap. • Recent history kept locally on your device. • Live strength indicator: from Weak to Fortress. • Customize separators, length, character sets, and more. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Coden generates passwords entirely using Apple's cryptographically secure random number generator. Nothing is ever sent over the network. Nothing is ever stored beyond your current session. There is no account to create, no sync to configure, no telemetry running in the background. Your passwords are yours alone. PAY ONCE. USE FOREVER. No subscriptions. No hidden tiers. No "premium" features held hostage. Buy Coden once and own it — including all future updates. Coden is a one-person indie project, made with care. If you love it, leave a review — it really helps.
