A second password that opens a fake vault.
Someone making you unlock it? Type the other password. They get a boring decoy. Your real stuff stays hidden.
Your passwords never leave your phone.
One locked file on your phone. No account. No cloud. No monthly bill. Pay once and forget we exist.

Go on, press it. The timer is real.
The safest server is the one that doesn't exist. Pawsword has no account to hack, no cloud to leak, and no bill to forget.
No signal in the den.
Your passwords live in one locked file on your phone. Want them on your Mac too? Drop the file in your own iCloud Drive. Nothing ever calls home, because there is no home to call.
Small app. Sharp claws.
A clipboard with a short memory.
Copy a password and it wipes itself from the clipboard, 45 seconds later by default. The next app gets nothing.
Screenshots see this.
Screenshots get nothing.
Screenshot the vault and you get a black square. Same for screen recordings. Hover to see what a thief sees.
Move in with one tap.
Bring everything from Apple Passwords, Chrome, 1Password, Bitwarden or any KeePass file.
A paper backup, printed at setup.
One page with a blank for your master password and what to do if you ever forget it. Put it in a drawer. Forgetting becomes a bad afternoon, not a disaster.
Why offline? Three receipts.
We didn't invent the problem. We just stopped pretending a company in the middle is free.
2025
LastPass paid $24.5 million to say sorry.
Hackers took vaults and customer data in 2022. The lawsuit settled in 2025. In February 2026, researchers found 27 new holes in four big cloud managers.
26.0.1
Keychain forgets. A lot.
After the macOS 26.0.1 update, the sync switch turns itself off for many people. "All my passwords vanished" threads sit unanswered for months.

Renting your own passwords.
1Password raised prices by up to a third in March 2026. Dashlane killed its free plan. Enpass quietly dropped its lifetime deal. A password manager should not be a bill.
Lifetime, defined
Other apps said "lifetime". Then they changed their minds.
So here is exactly what one payment gets you. In writing, in plain words.
- Version 1 is yours forever. It keeps working. No expiry date, no phoning home to check.
- Free updates until at least September 2030. New iOS and macOS versions, fixes, new features.
- One day there will be a paid version 2. You'll hear about it a year ahead. You never have to buy it.
- Your vault is a normal KeePass file. If we get hit by a bus, KeePassXC, Strongbox and KeePassium open it today.
- AutoFill and Face ID are all in. There is no "Pro" version hiding behind this one.

No money now. At launch you buy it in the App Store, like any app, and it is yours on every Apple device you own. Your email gets one message the day the founder fortnight opens. Mac, iPhone and iPad are coming soon. Android and Windows come after.
Leave your email and you hear the day the founder price goes live.
Questions people ask before paying.
Is it audited?
Not yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. The encryption code will be open source at launch so anyone can read it. A paid outside audit is the first thing launch money pays for.
How do my passwords reach my Mac with no cloud?
Your vault is one locked file. Put it in your own iCloud Drive or Dropbox and every Pawsword opens the same file. Or don't sync at all. The app never talks to a server of ours because there isn't one.
What if I forget my master password?
Nobody can reset it, including us. That is the whole point. So Pawsword prints a paper backup at setup with a blank for your password and the way back in. Keep it somewhere real, like a drawer.
What happens at launch?
You get one email the day Pawsword is on the App Store. For two weeks it costs $29 there, then $39. No codes, no account: you buy it like any app, and it's yours on every Apple device you own, your family's too. Until then, one honest progress note a month. No marketing, we promise.
Wait. Is it Password or Pawsword?
Pawsword. You read it as password, didn't you? That was on purpose. Same job, but a bear runs this one and he never phones home.
Who is behind this?
Pawsword is made by The Brandle, a small design studio in Dubai run by Muteeb Mehraj. He got tired of iCloud Keychain forgetting his passwords, so he built the thing he wanted. Email him at [email protected]. He answers.
