LocalAuth
Read full descriptionHide full description
LocalAuth is an open-source, truly local-first 2FA authenticator. You no longer have to choose between convenience and strong protection: unlock everyday accounts quickly with Face ID, and protect critical assets with either a dedicated YubiKey channel or a generic FIDO hmac-secret channel, using a three-channel security model based on account value. Key features: ⢠Open source: core logic is transparent and easier to audit ⢠Zero-cloud local 2FA: tokens stay on your device by default ⢠Three-channel tiered security: Face ID / Secure Enclave + YubiKey + generic FIDO hmac-secret ⢠End-to-end encrypted Travel Vault: only connects when you explicitly use it, encrypts backups on-device first, and keeps plaintext tokens unreadable to the server ⢠Fast import: QR scan, screenshot OCR, and manual entry ⢠Google migration compatible: supports otpauth / otpauth-migration ⢠Local device transfer: pairing code + QR over LAN sync ⢠Privacy first: automatic privacy mask when the app goes to the background ⢠Hardware key support list: continuously updated compatibility references No bloated workflow. No unnecessary account dependency. Built around local data sovereignty. For people who want a calm, trustworthy, and serious authenticator, LocalAuth is built to stay out of the way while keeping control in your hands.

Connect your iPhone through a proxy you already use and trust. JocoProxy is a bring-your-own-proxy client for SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT endpoints. It does not sell or provide proxy servers. ADD YOUR ENDPOINT Create profiles manually with a host, port, protocol, and optional credentials. Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain and are not shown after saving. START AN ON-DEVICE TUNNEL Choose a profile and connect using the system VPN permission. The Packet Tunnel extension sends traffic directly to your selected proxy. CLEAR, PRIVATE-BY-DESIGN CONTROLS No account, ads, or cross-app tracking. Optional anonymous product analytics goes to PostHog and AppsFlyer only after you opt in and can be turned off at any time. Proxy settings, credentials, destinations, traffic, raw errors, and diagnostic contents are never included. Please use only proxy servers you are authorized to access. HTTP CONNECT does not carry UDP traffic.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LocalAuth at none against JocoProxy's shown. JocoProxy's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
