PocketKnife Vault

PocketKnife Vault is a free, offline password manager that keeps your credentials locked on your device — no cloud account, no subscription, no compromises.

Features

Security & Authentication

• Face ID and Touch ID biometric unlock
• Device passcode fallback when biometrics aren’t available
• Auto-locks the moment the app leaves the foreground
• Re-authenticates automatically when returning to the app
• Privacy screen covers all vault content during app switching, Control Center, and incoming calls — the iOS app switcher never captures your data

Encryption & Storage

• Passwords stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain — hardware-backed, never written to disk
• All metadata (descriptions, usernames, URLs, notes) encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being saved
• Unique encryption key generated per device, stored in the Keychain, never transmitted
• Fully on-device — no server, no cloud account, no sign-up required
• Database excluded from iCloud and iTunes backups

Vault Organization

• Unlimited entries
• Organize entries into named groups
• Reorder groups to match your workflow
• Each entry stores: description, username, password, URL, and free-form notes
• Rename or delete groups at any time; entries move with the group

Password Generator

• Cryptographically secure random generation (no predictable patterns)
• Configurable length from 12 to 32 characters
• Toggle uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols independently
• Regenerate instantly with one tap
• Preview the generated password before using it

Clipboard

• One-tap copy for usernames, passwords, and URLs
• Clipboard auto-clears after 120 seconds
• Live countdown banner shows exactly how long remains
• “Clear now” button to wipe the clipboard immediately
• Clipboard also clears automatically when you navigate away from an entry

Privacy Controls

• Hide usernames in the entry list with a single tap — protects against shoulder surfing while browsing
• Preference is saved across sessions
• No analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no advertising framework
• Zero network requests — the app has no internet code whatsoever

Interface

• Supports iOS Light and Dark mode
• Portrait orientation optimized for one-handed use
• Clean, minimal design with no clutter
• Free — no subscription, no in-app purchases, no upsells
