Encrypted Personal Vault

Your notes and secrets, together at last.

A fast, markdown-native vault where your credentials live alongside your notes — encrypted, searchable, and portable. No rigid forms. No cloud dependency. Just your data, your way.

Free forever on desktop. No account required. ~5MB download.

The Problem

You're juggling too many tools.

Your passwords live in one app. Your notes live in another. Your API keys are scattered across Slack DMs, .env files, and sticky notes. You've normalized the chaos — but it costs you time, security, and peace of mind.

Passwords in one app, notes in another

Context is split across tools. Your deploy notes reference credentials that live in a completely separate vault. Copy-paste is your integration layer.

Rigid forms that don't fit your life

Password managers force you into username/password/URL fields. But what about your SSH keys? API tokens? License keys? Wifi passwords with notes about the router location?

Proprietary lock-in

Your data is trapped in someone else's format, on someone else's server, behind someone else's subscription. Export is an afterthought — if it exists at all.


The Claspt Difference

One vault. Notes + secrets. Encrypted where it matters.

Search, Sync, Sleep Well

Find anything with Cmd+K. Every save is a Git commit. Sync across devices with Pro. Your data is versioned, encrypted, and always recoverable.


Honest Comparison

Claspt replaces two tools with one.

Portability Export as CSV Export as PDF/MD Native files — always portable
Git version control Some (manual) Built in

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Encrypted Secret Blocks

AES-256-GCM encryption per secret block. Secrets are encrypted at rest and in memory. Reveal with biometric or master password. Auto-lock after configurable timeout.

Powerful Markdown Editor

Syntax highlighting, code blocks, tables, checklists, callouts, and math blocks. WYSIWYG and raw mode. Keyboard-first with a command palette for everything.

Instant Full-Text Search

Sub-100ms search across your entire vault. Fuzzy matching, tag filters, and type filters. Find any note or secret in keystrokes, not clicks.

Git Built In

Every save is a Git commit. Full version history, diff viewer, and branch support. Roll back any change. Your vault is a Git repo — use it however you want.

Biometric Unlock

Unlock your vault with Touch ID, Face ID, or Windows Hello. Fast access without typing your master password every time. Hardware-backed security.

Cross-Platform Sync

Sync your vault across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Git-based sync means conflict resolution is built in. Self-host or use Claspt Cloud (Pro).

Secure Sharing

Password-protected sharing with expiry and burn-after-reading. Share entire pages or individual secrets with anyone — no account required on their end.

14 Themes

Nord, Dracula, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, and 10 more. Your vault, your aesthetic. Switch themes instantly from the command palette.


Security

Security you can verify, not just trust.

No black boxes. No "trust us" hand-waving. Claspt's security model is transparent, auditable, and built on proven cryptographic primitives. Every architectural decision is documented.

AES-256-GCM Encryption

Industry-standard authenticated encryption. Each secret block gets its own unique nonce. Tamper-evident — if a single bit changes, decryption fails.

Argon2id Key Derivation

Your master password is stretched using Argon2id — the winner of the Password Hashing Competition. Memory-hard and GPU-resistant by design.

Memory Safety (Built in Rust)

The encryption core is written in Rust — no buffer overflows, no use-after-free, no null pointer dereferences. Memory safety without a garbage collector.

Sync-Safe Architecture

Encrypted blocks are opaque blobs during sync. Git sees only ciphertext. Even if your sync provider is compromised, your secrets remain encrypted.

What's encrypted vs. what's not

Encrypted

  • Secret block values (passwords, API keys, tokens)
  • Secret block field names (custom labels)
  • Attachment contents

Plaintext (By Design)

  • Note titles and markdown body text
  • Tags and folder structure
  • Git commit metadata

Why plaintext for non-secrets? Because full-text search, Git diffs, and grep all require readable text. Encrypting everything would break the features that make Claspt useful. Secret blocks are the only things that need encryption — and they get military-grade protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when my Pro trial ends?

You keep full access to all your notes and secrets on desktop. Sync and mobile access stop working until you subscribe. No data is deleted — ever.

Can I export my data if I stop using Claspt?

Your vault is already a folder of markdown files and encrypted JSON. There's nothing to export — just copy the folder. We don't believe in lock-in.

Is the free plan really free forever?

Yes. The desktop app with unlimited notes, secrets, encryption, search, and Git versioning is free forever. We make money from Pro sync subscriptions, not from locking basic features behind a paywall.

Do you offer team or business plans?

Not yet. Pro includes shared vaults for up to 5 people, which works well for small teams. Dedicated team and enterprise plans are on the roadmap for later in 2026.

Can I share secrets with someone?

Yes, with Pro. You can create password-protected shared links with a configurable expiry time and burn-after-reading mode — the secret self-destructs after the recipient views it once. Great for sending API keys, credentials, or sensitive notes to colleagues without leaving a trace.
