Safe — Password-Protected Local Vault

Safe is for the things you want accessible but not exposed — API keys you use daily, seed phrases you need to reference, any text you'd rather not leave visible on screen.

What it does

Safe vault interface

Set a password on first use. Your content is stored locally, encrypted. After 30 seconds of idle — or when the app loses focus — everything masks automatically. You have to re-enter the password to see it again.

Anti-password-manager design

Safe includes honeypot fields that look like login inputs to confuse password managers. The real input fields are designed to avoid autofill. This is intentional: you don't want a password manager storing the password to your local vault.

What it's not

Safe is not a replacement for 1Password or a secrets manager. It's a local scratchpad for items you access frequently enough that a full vault would slow you down — but sensitive enough that you don't want them in a plain text file.

All data stays local. Nothing is transmitted.
