Bramble is a local-first password manager. Your passwords live in an encrypted vault on your device, not on someone else's server. There is no account to create and nothing phoning home. Everything cryptographic runs in a Rust core: Argon2id derives your key, AES-256-GCM encrypts your data, and envelope encryption gives every entry its own key. Site names, usernames, and notes are all encrypted, and secrets are wiped from memory after use. FEATURES - AutoFill passwords and one-time codes into apps and Safari, right from the keyboard. - Passkeys: create and sign in with passkeys, with Bramble as your own authenticator, for sites and apps that support them. - Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, your master password, or a recovery code. - Store logins, payment cards, secure notes, and SSH keys, each with their own fields. - Built-in strong password generator. - TOTP / 2FA: add an otpauth URI or secret and Bramble generates the six-digit codes. - Import from KeePass (KDBX4), key files included. - Recovery code: a printable, high-entropy backup that unlocks your vault independently of your master password. - Optional breach check using k-anonymity, so nothing about your password leaves your device. - Auto-lock after inactivity. - Sync between your own devices peer-to-peer. No cloud, no relay holding your data. PRIVACY Bramble has no account, no subscription, and no telemetry. Your vault never leaves your control, and the code runs entirely on your device.
