PanicVault is a secure, offline-first password manager that reads and writes the open KeePass (.kdbx) format. Store your vault on your device, on iCloud Drive, or on Google Drive -- you choose. Your data stays in a standard, portable file that works with KeePass, KeePassXC, Strongbox, and every other compatible app. WHY PANICVAULT? PanicVault gives you real ownership of your credentials. There is no proprietary cloud, no account to create, and no subscription fee. Your vault is a single encrypted file you can back up, move, or open in any KeePass-compatible app on any platform. KEY FEATURES: - KeePass (.kdbx 4) Compatibility Open and save vaults created by KeePass, KeePassXC, KeePassDX, Strongbox, and more. Entry history, custom fields, attachments, group hierarchy, custom icons, and recycle bin are fully supported. - iCloud Drive & Google Drive Sync Sync your vault across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud Drive or Google Drive. Smart entry-level merging preserves changes from every device. Conflicts are shown side by side so you pick the version you want. Sign in to multiple Google accounts and sync different vaults with different accounts. - Passkeys (WebAuthn) Store and manage passkeys alongside your passwords. Compatible with the KeePassXC passkey format for full cross-platform interoperability. - AutoFill Integration Fill usernames and passwords in Safari and apps with the system AutoFill credential provider. Override URLs let you match entries to sites with different login domains. - Built-in Authenticator (TOTP) Generate two-factor authentication codes right alongside your passwords. Scan a QR code or enter the secret manually. Compatible with all standard TOTP formats. - Password & Passphrase Generator Create strong random passwords or memorable passphrases from the EFF wordlist. A live strength meter shows you exactly how secure each password is. - Biometric Unlock Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. Your master password is stored in the Secure Enclave keychain -- never transmitted anywhere. - Yubikey unlock You can protect a vault with a physical YubiKey: YubiKey challenge-response over NFC on iPhone, and over USB on Mac. - Offline First Every feature works without an internet connection. Cloud sync is optional and happens only when you choose to enable it. - Bulk Operations & Drag and Drop Select multiple entries at once to move or delete them in bulk. On Mac, drag entries between groups and drag groups to reorganize your hierarchy. - Organize with Groups and Tags Create nested folders to sort your entries. Reorder and customize groups with notes and custom icons. Add tags for cross-cutting categories. Search across titles, usernames, URLs, and notes instantly. - Favicon Auto-Fetch Tap a button to automatically download a website's icon and set it as the entry's custom icon -- the quickest way to make entries recognizable at a glance. - Default Vault & Keyboard Shortcuts Set a default vault that opens automatically on launch.
