Password Remember – A password manager for the rest of us Most password managers are built for power users. Password Remember is built for everyone else. If you don’t need complicated browser extensions, complex dashboards, or endless settings - this app is for you. Password Remember is a simple, secure, and easy place to store your passwords, PIN codes, private notes, and sensitive photos. Nothing more. Nothing confusing. Open the app. Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. Find what you need. That’s it. --- Built for simplicity Password Remember was designed for people who just want to store their passwords safely and sleep well at night. No technical setup. No complicated menus. No advanced features you’ll never use. It just works — right out of the box. Even if you’re not “tech-savvy,” you’ll feel comfortable using it. --- Strong security, zero complexity Your data is protected using strong industry-standard encryption — the same level of security trusted by banks. • Encrypted before it’s stored • Protected with Face ID or Touch ID • Securely backed up to your personal iCloud • End-to-end encrypted We never see your data. We cannot access your data. Your information is stored in your own private iCloud account — not on our servers. Even if your phone is lost or stolen, your data stays protected. Your device is locked. The app is locked. Your data is encrypted. Double protection. Complete peace of mind. --- Free for everyone Password Remember is free for life for up to 3 logins. When you need more, you can upgrade with either: • An very affordable subscription • Or a simple one-time lifetime purchase No expensive plans. No pressure. We believe online security should be simple and accessible to everyone. --- Upgrade to Pro and unlock • Unlimited passwords • Unlimited secure notes • Unlimited secure photos • 100+ Pro app icons • Support independent development Family Sharing Supported: Pro can be shared for free with up to five family members via Apple’s Family Sharing service. --- Why Password Remember is different We removed features instead of adding them. We focus on clarity instead of complexity. We believe online security shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel calm, simple, and human. Password Remember isn’t trying to be the most advanced password manager. It’s trying to be the one you actually enjoy using. Because sometimes the safest place for your passwords isn’t a complicated system. It’s a simple, secure password book you can trust. --- For the nerds: Built 100% natively in Swift 6 & SwiftUI. Your data is stored locally with SwiftData and synced via CloudKit — no data ever leaves Apple's ecosystem. All data is protected by iOS Data Protection (AES-256 encryption at rest) and iCloud end-to-end encryption. Your PIN is hashed with SHA-256 + salt and stored in the Secure Enclave Keychain. Authentication via Face ID / Touch ID with PIN fallback. Zero third-party analytics, zero tracking, zero web servers. Offline-first — works without internet, syncs when you're back online.

Your Zigbee network, in your pocket and on your iPad. Shellbee is a native app for Zigbee2MQTT. It connects straight to your bridge and gives you a fast, Apple-native way to watch, control and configure every device, with no cloud in between. REQUIRES A ZIGBEE2MQTT SERVER Shellbee is a client app. You need your own running Zigbee2MQTT instance and an access token. Local and remote setups both work. SEE EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE • A Home screen built from cards you choose and order: Bridge Health, Network, Link Quality, Batteries, Vendors and Activity. • Needs attention shows offline devices, low batteries and weak signal before you go looking. • A live Network Map of your whole mesh, with scan progress, filters and quick look (iPad). • An Activity Center that shows what your devices are doing as it happens. CONTROL AND CONFIGURE • Controls are generated from each device's Zigbee2MQTT exposes: lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, climate and sensors. • Every setting is grouped the same way on every device, using Zigbee2MQTT's own names. • Groups and scenes: browse, edit members, rename, drag devices in. • Favorites, filters and one search across devices, groups and the device library. • Bridge settings for MQTT, serial, network, OTA, logging, availability, Home Assistant and more. PAIR AND UPDATE WITH CONFIDENCE • Permit join and a step-by-step pairing guide with live progress. • Firmware updates with progress in Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. • Offline device documentation for how to pair and what each device can do. MORE THAN ONE BRIDGE Connect several bridges at once and see them side by side. Each has its own colour and initial, and single-bridge users see nothing extra. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Full iPad workspace with a sidebar, details side by side and extra windows. • Six colour themes: Standard, Honey, Meadow, Harbor, Lavender and Ember. • Real-time WebSocket connection over ws:// or wss://, with Bonjour discovery for .local hosts. • Built in SwiftUI with Live Activities, so it feels fast and native, not like a wrapped web page. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Talks only to the bridge you choose. No ads, no tracking, no analytics and no developer server. • Access tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. • Crash reporting is optional and off by default. Nothing is sent unless you say so, and reports never include your bridge address, token or device names. OPEN SOURCE Shellbee is licensed under AGPL v3, with the source on GitHub.
