About
The vault that never phones home
PassCipher is a local-first password and key vault. It generates highly secure passwords, passphrases, usernames, SSH keys, PGP keypairs, AES keys, API tokens and email aliases, and stores them in a single file encrypted on your own machine. There is no PassCipher account, no cloud, and no telemetry - your secrets never leave your computer.
Why we built it
Most password managers ask you to trust a company with the keys to your digital life, synced to servers you do not control. PassCipher takes the opposite position: your data stays on your device, sealed with AES-256-GCM, optionally locked behind an Argon2id master password and a TOTP second factor. We would rather be honest about what the app does and does not protect than oversell it - the limits are spelled out in the app and on the home page.
What it does
- Generates passwords, passphrases, usernames, SSH keys (Ed25519/RSA/ECDSA), PGP keypairs, AES symmetric keys, API tokens and per-site email aliases.
- Stores everything in one locally encrypted vault, hidden by default behind a copy button.
- Optional master password and optional 2FA - use both, one, or neither.
- Resists ordinary screen capture, and auto-clears copied secrets from the clipboard.
Who makes it
PassCipher is built by Wrenchy Productions, an independent Australian software studio founded by Kade Troy Terpstra (known online as Circuit). The studio focuses on practical, fairly-priced software people actually use.
