No sign-up at any point; everyday use doesn't rely on a network. The Android Internal Alpha is in closed testing — all you need is your master password to start managing three of the most private kinds of personal data.
Start with one master password. From there, the same intuitive flow lets you add, search and review your content.
The first time you open the app, Keepspire can generate a high-strength random passphrase as your master password, which you must store safely offline. Only you hold it — Keepspire, the developer and the cloud cannot retrieve it for you.
After that, each time you can enter your master password, or choose to enable device biometrics to cut down on typing a long passphrase every day. When biometrics aren't available, you still unlock with your master password / passphrase.
Open the password manager, private journal or finance tracker and tap the “+” button to add. All three modules follow the same flow.
Use one search box to find data across all three modules; finance records are also turned into charts to help you see income-and-spending trends.
You can create an encrypted backup (SNCB3 format) and restore your vault yourself; moving to a new phone also goes through the encrypted backup-and-restore flow.
In Settings, choose “Back up vault”. Make local backups regularly as your fallback for a new phone or a lost master password.
In Settings, choose “Restore backup” to restore your vault from a backup.
Direct device transfer (Wi-Fi / QR) is currently unavailable; to switch phones, use the encrypted backup-and-restore flow.
Keepspire has no official backdoor. If you lose your master password, you can only rely on the recovery you set up beforehand — a local backup, or recovery shards that keep recovery material in separate places (recovery needs the threshold number of shards).
Recovery shards let you keep recovery material split across different places, avoiding a single point of loss.
If you lose enough shards, recovery may be impossible.
Make local backups regularly as your fallback for a new phone or a lost master password.
Keepspire, the developer and the cloud cannot decrypt or retrieve your master password for you. Without setting up these mechanisms, data can be lost for good.
Having no backdoor is part of the security model. Once forgotten, data can be lost for good. Store your master password / passphrase safely and create a backup; don't rely on biometrics or memory alone.
A few simple habits can markedly cut the risk from a lost device, someone peeking, or a forgotten master password.
Whether you use a system-generated passphrase or your own master password, length matters more than fancy substitutions; avoid reusing passwords from other services.
Your data is local-first, so confirm a backup especially before changing or losing a device.
Make good use of auto-lock, and avoid showing sensitive content for long in public.
The Android Internal Alpha is in closed testing; iOS is not yet verified. The public download date will be announced after an independent third-party security audit is complete.
