This looks and sounds interesting! Where are the passwords stored locally? Like bramble (local) stores it or it creates a reserved disk space which is prohibited to access?

They are stored in the browser's storage, fully encrypted at rest. On mobile they're stored in the app's private sandbox, also encrypted at rest.

To clarify: the protection comes from the encryption, not from where the file lives. Cleartext never touches the disk.

I do too! And I appreciate your transparency about the vibe coding. But nowhere in the repository that I've found so far do you say who is writing this. For something like a password manager, I kind of need to know who's r…

I've had the opportunity to build security-heavy software and directly handled sensitive info like SIN, bank details, patient…

Love to see fellow Torontonian working on such great project. Let me know if you'd like to connect IRL.
