Vault

What it does: a local, encrypted store for the secrets you don't want sitting in plain text — passwords, keys, notes. Everything is encrypted on your machine (AES-256-GCM) and is never transmitted anywhere by the app.

Safe to run: yes. The Vault only holds what you put in it.

Reading results: nothing to read — it's a secure store, not a scan.

Good to know: on Windows the passphrase opens the vault only for this user on this machine (DPAPI). The recovery code from setup works anywhere — keep it safe: lose the machine AND the code and those secrets are gone for good. Nobody, us included, can recover them, so keep the recovery code safe and keep anything you can't re-create somewhere else as well. The Vault is deliberately left out of Back up & restore.

These are the Windows and Linux 1.3 guides, the same help that ships inside those apps. The Mac app carries its own in-app help; where macOS differs, see Privacy and FAQ. All docs. Spot something unclear? Tell us.
