PearPass – A fully local, open-source password manager. PearPass is a fully local, open-source password manager designed for complete privacy and control. Unlike traditional cloud-based managers, PearPass never sends your data to external servers. All credentials are stored and encrypted directly on your device using strong end-to-end encryption. Whether you’re syncing between your phone and laptop or managing hundreds of logins, PearPass gives you full ownership of your digital identity. There is no central infrastructure to target, no hidden storage, and no third-party access. Key Features Device-Only Storage Your passwords are stored locally on your devices, not in the cloud. You decide which devices have access. PearPass never uploads or stores your data externally. Peer-to-Peer Sync Secure syncing between your own devices without using a central server. Your data moves directly and securely between devices you control. End-to-End Encryption All data is encrypted using proven cryptographic primitives from Libsodium. No one else can access or read your vault—not even us. Open Source and Independently Audited PearPass is fully open source and has been independently reviewed by Secfault Security, a respected firm specializing in cryptography and offensive security. Offline-First Design Works without an internet connection. Your password vault is available at all times, even during outages or when you’re traveling. Password Generator Generate strong, unique passwords with one tap. Reduce the risks of reused or weak credentials. Minimal and Fast PearPass is lightweight, efficient, and designed for users who value both privacy and simplicity. Why Local Storage Matters In 2025, a single data breach leaked over 16 billion credentials. Cloud-based password managers, regardless of their security, rely on centralized systems that remain high-value targets for attackers. PearPass removes this risk entirely. With no cloud storage and no backend infrastructure, your data stays where it belongs—on your devices. PearPass is free to use, fully transparent, and built for users who demand control over their digital security. Your passwords are yours. Keep them safe, private, and fully in your hands. Download now and take your passwords off the cloud.

About

Guardias

Features
Read full description

Guardias is a shift book for people who work in healthcare. You log the shift, pick where it was, and the app handles the rest: how many you have worked this month, how many hours they add up to, and how they split across your workplaces. It is built for the way medical work actually runs: several institutions at once, hours that do not fit an office grid, and the need to know at the end of the month how much you really worked. LOGGING IS FAST Pick the day, the start time and how long it runs. The values you use most sit one tap away, so a typical shift takes no typing at all. If you always start at the same hour, set that default once and forget it. THE MONTH AT A GLANCE The calendar draws your shifts across the month rather than burying them in a list. Tap a day to see which hours are taken and which are free, drawn so you can read them without counting. YOUR WORKPLACES Add the institutions where you work, with their addresses, and open directions straight from the app when you need to get there. Statistics show how much you worked at each one. HOURS THAT MAKE SENSE By month, by year, or all time: total shifts, total hours, average per shift, and the breakdown by institution. YOUR CALENDAR, IF YOU WANT IT Guardias can publish your shifts to a calendar of its own on your device, so they show up alongside the rest of your life. It can also read your other calendars to warn you when something overlaps a shift. Both are off until you turn them on. NO ACCOUNTS, NO CLOUD There is no sign-up, no password and no server. Your shifts are stored on your phone and never sent anywhere. No analytics, no ads, no tracking of any kind. Guardias is not meant for clinical data: it is for your hours, not your patients. Available in Spanish and English. It follows your phone's language, or you can choose.
