LockWhisper is a private, offline-first security vault for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It keeps sensitive personal data encrypted on your device without cloud accounts, analytics, tracking, or LockWhisper servers handling your vault contents. ONE PRIVATE PLACE Store passwords, 2FA codes, PGP keys, encrypted notes, journals, plans, files, photos, videos, voice recordings, contacts, cards, identity records, travel documents, vehicle records, saved links, emergency information, habits, and private tasks. LockWhisper also includes a secure browser, secure clipboard, QR and scanner tools, photo metadata cleaning, encrypted search, favorites, import and export tools, and device-to-device sync. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every supported module is built around local encryption and device-controlled storage. Your vault stays on your device unless you choose to export it or sync supported data directly to another trusted device. A DASHBOARD YOU CONTROL Use daily privacy tips, Quick Actions, Security Snapshot, backup health, favorites, and quick modules to reach what matters. Choose layout presets, change visual density, group modules, resize widgets, and decide which cards appear. REAL AND DECOY VAULTS LockWhisper includes an optional fake password system. Your real password opens your private vault. A separate fake password opens a decoy vault with separate data for plausible deniability. SECURITY TOOLS YOU CAN USE Security Center summarizes password health, authenticator coverage, encryption-key rotation, backup readiness, recovery status, and other actionable findings. Optional auto-destruct, recovery tools, key backup, jailbreak and debug checks, and YubiKey-assisted workflows provide additional protection. PRIVATE DEVICE SYNC Sync supported data directly between trusted devices over encrypted peer-to-peer connections. No LockWhisper account and no central cloud database for your vault contents. ONE PRICE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Use core privacy tools free. Upgrade to Pro with a one-time purchase for advanced modules and premium security features. LockWhisper brings passwords, private writing, encrypted files, 2FA, PGP, secure media, planning, scanner tools, and vault records together while keeping personal data under your control.
