Some things are nobody else’s business.
Passwords, 2FA codes, private photos, files and notes, encrypted on your device before anything leaves it. Hidden from everyone, including the people who can pick up your phone.
- Live on the App Store and Google Play
- Encryption layer published, with its tests
- AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 600,000 rounds
- No analytics, no telemetry, zero third-party requests
It fills your logins in Chrome too
The browser extension is included, not an upgrade. Same vault, same one-time price.
A vault for the things you would not hand to a stranger
The parts of a vault that most password managers leave out.
-
01
Private photos and files
A gallery nobody else can open. Import hundreds at once; they leave your camera roll and live encrypted, behind your master password. Not a folder you hope nobody taps.
-
02
Whisper: send it, then it is gone
Share a password, a photo or a document with someone who does not use Lockbox. They open it once. Then it erases itself, from their screen and from our server. No account, no trace.
-
03
A switch for when you stop coming back
Set a period of silence. If you do not unlock the app within it, the vault wipes itself. For the situations you would rather not have to explain.

Questions
Including the ones with an answer you will not like.
It cannot be recovered. Lockbox uses zero-knowledge encryption, which means your master password never leaves your device and is never stored anywhere. This is a deliberate security decision. We recommend writing it down and storing it in a physical safe.
Yes. Lockbox is local-first, and encrypted cloud sync is included in the one-time price. Your passwords, 2FA codes, secrets and notes sync between your phone and the browser extension. Everything is encrypted on your device with a key derived from a sync passphrase that never leaves your devices, so our servers only ever hold blobs we cannot read. Sync is off until you turn it on.
Your data is stored entirely on your device. You can export everything to CSV or encrypted JSON at any time. Your vault is always yours, no matter what.
Yes. Everything is stored locally on your device. Passwords, 2FA codes, notes, files, and secrets all work without an internet connection. Cloud sync and Whisper sharing are the only features that need one.
No. Your photos and files are AES-256 encrypted on your device before they are stored. We use zero-knowledge architecture, which means we never have access to your encryption keys. We cannot see your photos, files, or any vault content. Nobody can. Not your phone manufacturer, not your cloud backup, not us. Your eyes only.
No. Lockbox is a password manager and private vault for everyone: passwords, 2FA codes, notes, photos, and files. There is a separate, unrelated developer tool called "Lockbox — API Key Wallet" that stores API keys for AI coding tools. Different product, different company, different website. We are Lockbox: Password Manager, on lockboxnow.app.
