Passo is a local-first password manager that keeps your passwords, passkeys, one-time codes, cards, and secure notes in an encrypted Password Library you control—private by default and designed to be agent-friendly, so it works naturally with the tools you choose. Your Password Library is encrypted and stored locally by default—only you control your data and keys. If you choose to enable iCloud sync, your data is encrypted on your device before it is synced. Create a new Password Library or restore from iCloud, unlock with Face ID, browse everything by category, favorite what you use most, and search quickly when you need it. Passo also supports system Autofill, passkeys, and one-time code setup from QR or otpauth links. Use Passo as a private password vault and authenticator with a password generator for 2FA, credit cards, and secure notes. Import from 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, Elpass, or an existing Passo export. Passo Pro unlocks iCloud sync across your devices.

nanoBeard runs four small language models, trained completely from scratch, entirely on your phone. No internet, no servers, no accounts, nothing leaves your device. Each model has its own size and personality, from a tiny 14M rambler to a sharper 360M. Pick one, tweak the precision, and chat. Everything happens on-device, so it works in airplane mode. Fair warning: these are deliberately tiny models, so the pirate banter is gloriously unhinged. That's the point, it's a playful demo of how far on-device AI can be pushed on hardware you already own. A passion project, made for fun. Hope it brings you a laugh.
