01 — The product

Cloud password managers ask you to trust their servers with your most sensitive data. Vault Zero takes the opposite approach: no account, no cloud database, nothing to breach. Your vault stays on your phone, encrypted, under your control.

No account No sign-up, email or phone number.
No cloud database Your vault never leaves your phone.
Nothing to breach No central server holding your data.

What Vault Zero does

A free, offline-first password manager and encrypted personal vault for Android. It keeps website and app logins, bank cards, secure notes, secret keys and identity documents in one place, protected on your own device.

Why it stays offline

Cloud password managers ask you to trust their servers with your most sensitive data. Vault Zero takes the opposite approach: no online registration, no email or phone number, and no cloud database to breach. Your vault, your privacy.

How it’s built

Designed and developed end to end: on-device AES-256-GCM encryption with salted PBKDF2 key stretching, native Android autofill behind a biometric gate, adaptive system icons, and a fully localised interface in 8 languages with right-to-left layouts.

The problems it solves

“My passwords sit on a company’s server. One breach and they’re exposed.”

No cloud database

Your vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never leaves your phone, so there is nothing central to breach.

“Every app wants my email or phone number before I can even start.”

No account at all

No registration, no email, no phone number. Install it and start saving.

“Autofill needs the internet and I can’t see where my data goes.”

Offline autofill

Native Android autofill that works 100% offline, and only after a biometric check.

“If I forget my master password, I’m locked out for good.”

A way back in

An Emergency Recovery Key is created by default, with optional security-question recovery.

“My backups are stuck inside one vendor’s cloud.”

Backups you own

Export password-protected .vault archives to your phone, a PC, a USB drive or an SD card.

02 — Features

Serious security, without the cloud.

Six reasons Vault Zero is different, told one screen at a time.

01 / 06

Zero cloud.
Zero accounts.

Your vault lives only on your Android device. No registration, email or phone number, and vault data is never sent to a remote server.

  • No registration
  • No email or phone
  • Works fully offline
Onboarding screen: Zero-Cloud, Absolute Privacy
02 / 06

Military-grade
AES-256-GCM.

Passwords, cards and notes are protected with authenticated AES-256-GCM encryption. Master keys are derived on-device with 100,000 rounds of salted PBKDF2 key stretching.

  • AES-256-GCM
  • PBKDF2 × 100,000
  • Keys derived on-device
WebCrypto engine settings: AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2-SHA256 with 100,000 rounds, local SQLite storage
03 / 06

Autofill that
never goes online.

Saved logins appear right above your keyboard, and new logins are captured as you sign in, with native app names and icons. A biometric check runs before anything is filled. Zero network requests.

  • Keyboard autofill
  • Smart auto-save
  • Biometric gate

Passwords you'd
never guess.

Generate strong passwords and passphrases with custom length and character sets, then check the estimated brute-force crack time before you save.

Hints that don't
give you away.

The Smart Hint analyzer checks password hints before you save them, and flags overlap or sensitive patterns that could expose a clue to your real password.

  • Overlap detection
  • Sensitive patterns
  • Smart memory recall
In-app tour tip: save partial characters or a hint instead of your full password

Backups you
actually own.

Export and import password-protected .vault archives to local storage, a PC, a USB drive or an SD card. Standalone, encrypted, and never dependent on a cloud.

Desktop-grade protection

Inactivity auto-lock, clipboard auto-clear, and blocking of screenshots and screen recording keep the vault private on a shared or busy desk.

Backups & recovery kit

Export encrypted .vault backups with backup reminders, and save your 16-character Emergency Recovery Key as a PDF kit.

How to connect

The Android app walks you through linking your PC, right inside Settings.

Built-in safeguards

Trusted networks only

Sync runs on private home or office Wi-Fi, or your own hotspot. On public networks the firewall keeps it blocked.

Mutual 6-digit check

Both devices confirm each other with fresh codes before any data moves, so no one in between can join.

Sync-level access PIN

Optionally require a separate PIN before anyone can view credentials received through sync.

Auto-disconnect

The session wipes itself after a set time, 5 minutes by default, and you can kill it at any time.

You decide on duplicates

Skip existing items, overwrite them, or keep both copies. Nothing is merged without your choice.

Device history

Why I built Vault Zero

Chapter 01 / 04

Keeping logins safe was hard

As a user, I found it genuinely difficult to store my login details somewhere that was actually secure.
