A password manager that lives on your devices, not on someone else’s server. No account, no sign-in, no yearly price rise. Bring everything from 1Password in one go, and fill a whole form with one ⌘V.
macOS, with an iPhone companion. Touch ID unlock. Sync through a relay that only ever sees ciphertext.
Passport to Example Air: copying and pasting takes 8 trips; with Brassword one ⌘V fills all 8 fields.
Brassword Autofill
Pick the passport, card or identity in Brassword, click the form, press ⌘V. Every field fills at once: names, dates, dropdowns, in any app on your Mac.
Bring everything
Export a .1pux file and drop it on Brassword. Logins, cards, notes, identities, bank and email accounts, API credentials, SSH keys, crypto wallets and documents come across, with their attached files as encrypted attachments. Importing again doesn’t make duplicates.

Point the camera
Brassword reads the machine-readable lines on the photo page, on your Mac, and checks every check digit before it fills in the item. Cards and documents scan into an Inbox for you to file.
Shown with the ICAO specimen passport, not a real person’s.
Touch to open
Your vault is encrypted on the device with a passphrase only you know. Touch ID opens it day to day, through a key held by your Mac’s Secure Enclave. There’s no account, so there’s no account to break into.

On your iPhone too
Pair with a QR code. Changes travel encrypted, so the relay in between stores bytes it can’t read. The iPhone app is a companion: it shows, searches and copies what’s on your Mac.
Keep watch
Home shows weak and reused passwords, items about to expire, and whether you have a recent encrypted backup. All worked out on your Mac.

A way back in
Set up a Recovery Key and you can get back in if the passphrase goes. Export a portable encrypted backup whenever you like, restore it on a fresh Mac, and Brassword refuses to quietly roll back to an older copy.

1Password Individual: $47.88 every year
Launch price, locked for founders. Checkout isn’t open yet; full licence terms come with it. Requires macOS.
Export a .1pux file from 1Password’s desktop app and drop it on Brassword. Logins, passwords, notes, cards, identities, bank and email accounts, API credentials, SSH keys, crypto wallets, medical records and documents import, with attached files as encrypted attachments. A few 1Password types, such as passports and servers, don’t import yet: Brassword counts them and tells you. Run it again later and it won’t create duplicates.
If you set up a Recovery Key, you can use it to get back in. Without one, nobody can open the vault for you, including us, because we never had it. Brassword nudges you to set one up and to export an encrypted backup.
We run a small relay between your Mac and iPhone. It stores and forwards encrypted bytes. It never receives your passphrase or your keys, so it can’t read your items.
No. There’s no sign-up, no email and no sign-in. Your vault stays on your devices.
Not yet. Brassword is a Mac app with an iPhone companion. There’s no browser extension, no passkey support, no iPhone AutoFill and no Windows or Android app today. We’d rather say so than surprise you.
Because you’re the customer, not your data. You pay once, and the app keeps working. There’s no subscription to lapse.
