Passwords without a cloud service.
The honest page: Offline.Ltd doesn't sell a password manager. Here's what we recommend instead, and why.
We won't pretend a hand-built HTML file is the right home for the most security-sensitive part of your life. Passwords deserve purpose-built cryptography and a serious auditing track record. This page tells you what to use — and where the rest of the Offline.Ltd toolkit fits around it.
Use KeePassXC (or the KeePass family)
Free, open-source, offline by design. Your passwords live in a single encrypted .kdbx file on your machine — spiritually the same shape as everything else we make. Put the file in iCloud Drive or Syncthing to have it on your other devices.
1Password / Bitwarden are fine, honestly
If you must use a cloud manager, Bitwarden is open-source and 1Password is well-audited. Both are far safer than reusing three passwords across every account. "Offline" isn't a religion.
Where our tools do fit
Secure notes about accounts (not passwords themselves) — recovery hints, security-question memory joggers, MFA backup codes — can live in the Writing Desk in an encrypted disk volume. Passwords themselves belong in KeePassXC or Bitwarden.
What to reach for
Common questions
Why don't you make a password manager?
Because "one HTML file with a form" is the wrong shape for password security. Purpose-built managers with audited cryptography are what this class of software should be.
Can I keep passwords in a note?
You can. You shouldn't. Use KeePassXC or Bitwarden and keep the note as an index of what's in there.
What about a browser's built-in manager?
Fine for low-stakes accounts, less fine for finances and identity. A dedicated manager handles more edge cases.
Is KeePassXC really free?
Yes, actually. Open-source, no subscription, active maintenance. Donate if it saves your life once.
