Rook Vault
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rook Vault is an original product owned, developed, and published by GetPageSpeed LLC. It is a private, local-first KDBX 4 password manager for iPhone and iPad. Open the vault you already own from Files and keep your passwords and payment cards close without creating an account or sending your data to a server. Find entries instantly with secret-safe search. Use AutoFill for logins. Unlock again with Face ID. Rook reads and writes the open KDBX directly, including files stored through iCloud Drive, Dropbox, and other providers available in Files. The card wallet turns ordinary interoperable KDBX fields into a visual deck: - Scan a physical card on device, review the result, and save PAN and CVV as protected KDBX values. - Detect common card networks and suggest issuers from a bundled offline BIN directory. - Copy protected values locally, with the clipboard clearing after 60 seconds. - See Expiry Radar and schedule local renewal reminders. - Link an expired card to its replacement as renewal history. - Build travel stacks by country, currency, or fee profile. Privacy is the architecture, not a setting. Rook Vault has no account, ads, analytics, telemetry, crash-reporting SDK, or server-side component. Your vault opens locally and stays local. Compatibility in version 1.0: KDBX 4 and 4.1, AES-256-CBC, AES-KDF, Argon2id, GZip, and Salsa20 or ChaCha20 protected inner streams.
Offline Note

In an era where everything is in the cloud, we are completely returning your privacy to you. "Offline Voice to Text" is an AI voice memo app that runs entirely locally on your iPhone. Whether you are recording highly confidential business negotiations, in-depth journalist interviews, or private inspiration diaries, all your audio and text will never leave your phone. ■ Core Features • Powered by Whisper AI: Integrates the advanced Whisper large speech model, putting a smart stenographer right inside your phone. Accurate recognition, smart sentence segmentation, and automatic punctuation. • Supports 100+ Languages: Natively supports accurate recognition and transcription of over 100 major and minor languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and German, easily handling multinational meetings and foreign language learning. • Intuitive Calendar View Management: Say goodbye to cluttered file lists. All recordings are automatically archived by date. Through an elegant calendar interface, you can easily trace back every important meeting and flash of inspiration from any month or year, just like flipping through a diary. • True Offline Capability: No internet connection is required. Even in the extreme state of removing your SIM card and turning on Airplane Mode, it still provides you with 100% complete transcription services. • Exclusive NAS Private Cloud Backup: We understand the pain points of geeks and business professionals. The App natively supports the local network SMB protocol, allowing you to back up massive audio and text files directly to your NAS (like Synology, QNAP, etc.) with one click. Reject cloud drive kidnappings and achieve a perfect data closed-loop. • Versatile Export Formats: Record anytime, anywhere, and supports running in the background. After transcription, you can not only export as plain text (TXT) for meeting minutes but also natively export as standard subtitle files (SRT, VTT). This perfectly preserves timeline information and seamlessly integrates with various video editing software, greatly enhancing creators' efficiency. ■ Flexible Pricing Options Why do most transcription apps on the market charge exorbitant "cloud service fees"? Because they have to pay for cloud server costs. However, we solely utilize your phone's own chip processing power for transcription. We offer flexible unlocking options: you can choose a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase for unlimited usage. No hidden costs; the processing power is yours, and so is your data. ■ Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the transcription process secretly upload my data? A: Absolutely not. We have not deployed any servers to receive your recordings; the app runs entirely within a local sandbox. As developers, we know absolutely nothing about the content of your recordings. Q: Why don't you support AI automatic summarization? A: At this stage, high-quality AI summarization must rely on cloud-based large model APIs (which means your text must be uploaded to a third party). To uphold our absolute bottom line of "Absolute Privacy," we would rather forgo this gimmick. You can export your safe, plain text and decide how to process it yourself. Q: Is there a recording time limit? A: No limits at all! As long as your phone has enough storage space, you can record hours of meetings continuously. After recording, just let your phone process for a while, and the complete transcript will be automatically generated. Q: Are there device requirements? A: Because AI processing demands high hardware performance, we recommend using an iPhone 12 (A14 chip) or newer for the smoothest transcription experience. ■ Privacy & Legal Privacy Policy: https://speech.chaoxitime.workers.dev Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ■ Contact Us If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: speech@chaoxishiguang.com
