About

Vault

Read full description

Vault is a private, offline password manager that keeps your credentials safe on your device and only on your device. No accounts. No cloud. No subscriptions required to use the core app. Your passwords are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, the same standard used by banks and governments. Only you can unlock them, using the device passcode or biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) that you already trust. KEY FEATURES * Military-grade encryption Every password, note, and credential is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being written to storage. Your data is never stored in plain text not even for a moment. * 100% offline always Vault has no internet connection, no cloud sync, and no external servers. Your data never leaves your device. Not even to us. * No account required Open the app, set a master password or use biometrics, and you're done. No email address, no registration, no profile. *Strong password generator Create random, high-entropy passwords at the tap of a button. Customize length and character sets to meet any site's requirements. * One-tap copy Copy usernames or passwords to the clipboard with a single tap. Clipboard content is automatically cleared after 30 seconds for extra safety. *Auto-lock Vault automatically locks itself after a configurable idle timeout. Re-open with Face ID, Touch ID, or your master password. YOUR PRIVACY, GUARANTEED Vault collects zero personal data. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters that phone home, no advertising frameworks nothing. The app's entire job is to store your secrets locally and keep them safe. That's it. If you delete the app, your data is gone. There is no recovery server, because there is no server. Vault because your passwords belong to you.

About

VaultPony

Features
Read full description

VaultPony creates and opens encrypted containers on iPhone and iPad. A vault is a single encrypted file that holds a private filesystem, and only your password opens it. The containers are compatible with VeraCrypt, so you can open the same vaults on the desktop and back. There is no account, no cloud, and no network access. Your vaults are just files, kept wherever you choose, On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, or a third-party storage provider. Features: Create and open VeraCrypt-compatible containers, with a choice of cipher, hash, and filesystem (FAT or exFAT). Hidden volumes: conceal a second vault inside the first. Two passwords, and the outer one gives no sign the hidden one exists. The outer volume can be write-protected so normal use will not overwrite the hidden data. Header backup and recovery, in-place password change, and keyfiles. Face ID unlock, auto-lock when the app leaves the foreground, a privacy screen that hides vault content in the app switcher, and a no-trace mode that never writes decrypted content outside the vault. A full split-view layout on iPad; browse and preview side by side. Localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. VaultPony is free and open source, built on a shared Rust core you can inspect. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by IDRIX; VeraCrypt is a registered trademark of IDRIX.
