Zafonyx Local (formerly Password Safe Vault) is a local-only password manager for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Your passwords. Your vault. Your peace of mind. Zafonyx Local was formerly known as Password Safe Vault. Same local-first app, new brand. The vault stays on your device. There is no Zafonyx Local account and no vendor cloud vault. Included free 1. Security — what protects your vault • AES-256-GCM encryption, with the whole vault in an encrypted database — not only the passwords inside • Master key sealed in the Secure Enclave on supported devices, opened with Face ID, Touch ID, or your app PIN • Screenshots and screen recordings blocked; on Mac, the release build refuses to start when a debugger is attached • Secure input wipes what you type the moment it is used 2. Everyday use — unlock, generate, search, 2FA • Master password, plus Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID on supported devices • Password generator • Categories and multi-term search; Quick Search — ⌘⌃P on Mac • Built-in TOTP, with import from Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator • Auto-lock and clipboard auto-clear • Security page highlights weak, reused, and out-of-date passwords • Available in 12 languages 3. PIN recovery — if you forget your PIN • Recover with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode • If the unlock key is lost or damaged, the app says why and offers an explicit reset — nothing is erased without your confirmation One-time purchase Buy once in the App Store to unlock, on this device: 1. Sync between your devices — encrypted, local only • Over your local network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), encrypted end to end • Post-quantum session keys (ML-KEM-768), confirmed with a one-time PIN; your lock PIN never leaves this device • Share a few categories one way: show a one-time QR and PIN, and the receiver cannot write back into your vault 2. Backup and restore — sealed with your passphrase • JSON import and export • Sealed with a passphrase you choose — the whole file is encrypted, titles and notes included • Authenticator codes are in the backup too Not a subscription. The price can differ by region. Already purchased? Your unlock keeps working even when the App Store can't be reached. Requires iOS and iPadOS 15.5 or later, macOS 12 or later, and visionOS. Security Zafonyx Local has no published third-party security audit. Encryption and decryption stay on your devices. Support: service@sihuic.com Publisher: Beijing Sihuichuang https://www.zafonyx.com
