KeyForge — Forge your passwords. Remember only two things. Stop memorizing dozens of complex passwords. KeyForge generates strong, unique passwords on demand using just two pieces of information you already know — a Master Key and a Unique Key. HOW IT WORKS Master Key: One secret key that never changes. Use it for every site. Unique Key: A simple identifier for each site — like "amazon" or "gmail". Changes per site, easy to remember. Type both into KeyForge, tap Generate, and get a strong unique password every time. Same inputs always produce the same password — no storage needed. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No passwords are ever stored or transmitted - You are the only one who can recreate your passwords - Passwords cannot be reverse engineered to find your keys - Master Key and Unique Key are case sensitive - Works without a password manager — but pairs great with one - Password rotation built in — add a version label when needed KeyForge puts you in control. Your keys, your passwords, your security.

A file manager built so that one app is enough to handle files on your iPhone. Beyond tidying up what's on your device, you can connect directly to the NAS at home, a rented server, or cloud storage, and work with all of it the same way. No more downloading a file before you can open it. ■ Connect straight to remote servers Supports SMB / SFTP / FTP / WebDAV / Amazon S3 / Cloudflare R2. SMB servers on your network are discovered automatically, so you can connect by picking one from a list even if you don't know its IP address. Usernames and passwords are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. ■ Wi-Fi transfer for your computer Connect from a browser on a computer on the same Wi-Fi network and drag and drop files back and forth. No cable, no extra software. The connection is encrypted with HTTPS and protected by a PIN, and you can stop the server when you're not using it. ■ Compress and extract ZIP, of course, plus tar, gz, bz2, xz, 7z and more. You can create password-protected ZIP files, or look inside an archive without extracting it. ■ View it and edit it in place A VLC-based playback engine handles MKV, AVI and WMV as well as MP4. Videos on a remote server stream right away instead of making you wait for a download. Images, PDFs and Markdown preview in the app, and there's a Hex viewer for binaries. Text files can be edited in the app, with syntax highlighting for 18 languages including Swift, Python and JavaScript. Several encodings, Shift-JIS among them, are detected automatically. ■ The tools you need to stay organized ・7 color tags ・Folder bookmarks ・List, grid and gallery views ・Sort by name, date, size, kind or tag ・File name search and Spotlight integration ・Storage usage breakdown ・Home screen widgets ・Receives files from other apps via the share sheet ・App lock with Face ID ■ Privacy No personal information such as your name, file names or server addresses is collected. Remote connections go directly between your device and your server, never through the developer's servers. Only anonymous usage statistics are collected to improve the app. No ads, no tracking. ■ Completely free Every feature is free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions. Requires iOS 26 or later / iPhone and iPad (iPad gets a two-column layout with a sidebar)
