Apple Passwords for logins. Kryven Vault for documents. Secure storage for passports, insurance, IDs, warranties, and more — not a password manager, but the secure document storage. 10 categories, expiration reminders, encrypted backups, secure sharing, offline access, Face ID / Touch ID lock. Native Apple app — SwiftUI, CloudKit, zero-knowledge encryption. No accounts, no servers, your iCloud. Your data stays yours. Subscribe or own it for life. Start free with 10 documents. 8 languages.
I've used 1Password as a standalone app since 2014 — no subscription, no cloud account, just a local vault I owned and synced over WLAN. It started with passwords, then I began storing documents there too. Everything in one place.
When the industry moved to mandatory subscriptions and cloud backends, I stayed on the old version rather than give that up. Then Apple launched Apple Passwords, and it was good enough to replace 1Password for logins. But when I made the switch, I realized there was nothing for the other half — the credit cards, bank accounts, passport scans, insurance policies, warranties, IDs and more...and added functionality that was missing in commercial password managers that I needed.
And honestly, keeping documents inside a password manager was never great design to begin with. Password managers should manage passwords. Document vaults should manage documents. Mixing the two weakens both.
That gap is what inspired Kryven Vault. I built it for myself first — native SwiftUI, CloudKit sync, zero-knowledge encryption and simple and clean UX like Apple Passwords. No servers, no accounts. Your data never leaves Apple's ecosystem and also included E2E without ADP. I also added a migration path so users can move just their documents out of existing password managers — no passwords, only documents.
The design evolved around one question: if Apple made a document vault, what would it feel like? That meant iCloud-native storage, no custom auth, no backend I control. It meant giving people a real choice — subscribe or pay once and own it forever. It meant starting free so people could try it without friction.
Apple Passwords for logins. Kryven Vault for documents. Each holds only what it needs.
P.S. I also launched Kryven Legacy, focused on digital legacy planning — built with the same architecture and design philosophy providing a digital map of where to find what and whom to call and this was also based on a personal medical scare and I created one for me but realized this is vastly neglected today.
