About

Tunnelless

Features
Read full description

Tunnelless puts your iPhone, iPad, or Mac on your private Tailscale network without installing a VPN profile. Apps that reach a private network normally need a system VPN: a NetworkExtension, an "Allow VPN configuration" prompt, and a profile that takes over device-wide routing and conflicts with any other VPN you already run. Tunnelless does none of that. It runs a userspace network node inside the app and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy, so only this app's traffic uses your private network. The rest of your device is untouched, and you can keep running your work VPN at the same time. WHAT IT DOES β€’ Joins your existing Tailscale network with a standard browser sign-in β€’ Shows your node's private IP address once connected β€’ Exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy address for reaching machines on your network β€’ Signs out and deletes local state on demand REQUIREMENTS β€’ A Tailscale account. Tunnelless connects to a network you already have. It is not an account, hosting, or subscription service, and it does not create networks for you. PRIVACY Tunnelless collects no data, includes no analytics, and performs no tracking. Sign-in happens directly with Tailscale; your credentials are never seen by us. Network state is stored only on your device and is removed when you sign out. Tailscale is a registered trademark of Tailscale Inc. Tunnelless is built by Indiagram LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tailscale Inc.

Passta

Read full description

Passta is a fully offline password manager for KeePass (.kdbx) vaults. NO NETWORK, NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING Passta contains no networking code at all. There are no servers, no sync service, no analytics, and nothing to sign up for. Your passwords live in a standard, encrypted KeePass file that you control β€” and they never leave your device unless you move them yourself. YOUR VAULT, WHERE YOU KEEP IT Open vaults in place from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, On My iPhone, or any storage that appears in the Files app. Passta remembers the location and reopens the file securely β€” it never makes hidden copies. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A PASSWORD MANAGER β€’ Open and edit KeePass vaults (KDBX 3.1 and KDBX 4) β€’ Create new vaults directly on your iPhone or iPad β€’ Unlock with Face ID β€’ Fill passwords in Safari and other apps with AutoFill β€’ Strong password generator β€’ Find duplicate passwords β€’ Organize entries with groups and auto-categorization β€’ Key file support for stronger vault credentials OPEN FORMAT, NO LOCK-IN Passta uses the standard KeePass format supported by KeePass, KeePassXC, KeePassDX and many other apps on every platform. Your vault is yours: open it anywhere, today or in ten years. SERIOUS ABOUT SECURITY Vaults are protected by the KDBX 4 format's modern cryptography, including Argon2 key derivation. Biometric unlock keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, protected by Face ID. PRIVACY Passta collects no data. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected" β€” because there is literally nothing to collect.
