Take control of your passwords. VaultMesh keeps them encrypted on your own devices and syncs directly between them — no cloud account, no vendor lock-in. Key Features • Local-first vault: passwords stay encrypted on your device • End-to-end encryption: only you can unlock your data, even during sync • Direct P2P sync over your local network — fast, private, no relay needed • Optional self-hosted relay for sync across different networks • Autofill on supported login pages • Built-in one-time codes (TOTP) • Strong password generator • Secure device pairing Why VaultMesh Most password managers store your encrypted data on their servers. VaultMesh flips that around — your vault lives on your devices, and you decide how they sync. Same Wi-Fi? Devices connect peer-to-peer. Across networks? Run your own relay; it only forwards encrypted data and never holds your secrets. Privacy by Design • No cloud account required • Master password never leaves your device • Self-hostable relay — keep complete control of your sync infrastructure • Works fully offline once paired VaultMesh is built for people who want a cross-device password manager without the trade-offs: no central server seeing your data, no subscription you can't escape, no lock-in. Local-first. End-to-end encrypted. Yours.
