All your passwords in one place — safe, and always with you on iPhone, iPad and Mac. • Encrypted on your device. Passwords are encrypted (AES-256) before they leave your iPhone or Mac. Not even the developer can read them. • iCloud sync. No account to create, no servers of ours. Your data lives in your own iCloud, encrypted. • Separate spaces. Family, Work, Home: each space has its own key and its own list, so nothing gets mixed up. • Share with your family. Invite someone from Settings: they see and edit the same vault and unlock it with the same master password. • Site icons, custom fields, tags, a password generator, verification codes (TOTP) and a check for weak or reused passwords. • AutoFill and passkeys. Fills in passwords and passkeys in apps and websites on iPhone and Mac, and creates new passkeys. Every use requires Face ID, Touch ID or your master password. • Face ID and Touch ID for instant unlock. • Import from SafeInCloud, KeePass and Bitwarden, export and make encrypted backups: your data always stays yours. • No telemetry, no ads. 14-day free trial, then a single purchase.
