GrapheneOS is what you're looking for
Nice to see this land as part of FF now instead of an extension. Very useful feature!
Translation: "We can't spy on you and we don't like it"
Vibecode as in one-shotting features in one prompt and calling it done? None. Deliberately planning each feature carefully, laying out the arch work, executing the plan and then carefully test and review? Most of it.
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.
Yeah, fair assessment. I will add a section and more copy to the app to address this concern. Thanks!
The latest browser extensions now have an export feature in the settings page. Mobile will get it too. Besides that, the more devices are synced via P2P, the more backups you have (each device has a copy of the vault)
Doesn't really apply here because every synced device essentially serves as a backup
With that said, I really do like Tablinum! I might need that for something else. How are merge conflicts handled?
Exactly that. Once the devices are simultaneously online they will sync.
yeah I really like monero, but will add more options soon
I've submitted it for review. Fingers crossed it doesn't take long
ah yes, I didn't even think of this! It's fully private and I'll update my copy to indicate that. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! And I fully agree with you. The convenience that cloud providers bring is hard to match sometimes, but the tools exist to make it happen.
I'll check out your website and see what's up!
Thank you! I'm a firm believer of this as well, especially with how things almost always turn out for venture backed companies. I feel like there's a push towards local-first and self-hosted solutions these days, and rightfully so.
if you mean why I didn't choose a lib like automerge, yjs and instead handrolled it - that's because these libs are geared towards plaintext.
Bramble's sync is built around its own encrypted vault instead. When two devices conflict it just compares timestamps on the encrypted entries and keeps the newer one as-is, without ever unwrapping your per-entry keys to merge. Nothing off the shelf did that against my vault format, so the core is custom. It's a pretty simple implementation tbh
I used Claude Opus during this project within Zed editor. Nothing else.
It exists and is thoroughly tested for common cases, but there might be tricky form shapes that haven't been covered.
Give it a try and if you find anything, I'll prioritize fixing it. I'm really keen on getting a top-notch autofill engine.
Fair enough. I like staying pseudonymous on the internet, but I also understand where you're coming from.
My name is Doug, based in Toronto, Canada. I've been a software engineer for over 10 years, working in various startups that handle very sensitive data (fintech, health tech, legal tech.) I've had the opportunity to build security-heavy software and directly handled sensitive info like SIN, bank details, patient histories etc.
Business model: This is essentially a passion project for me that I intend to keep working on - for usage within my family and the OSS community. This version of the app is always going to be free and open source. In the future if this were to ever take off and I now want to earn from it, I would probably do a business version with cloud storage (with self-host option)
The goal is offering an alternative that doesn't enshittify over time, secure, fully sovereign and convenient.

I'm currently working on Bramble, an open source password manager with P2P cross-device sync. Initially I released the Chrome extension, but recently I also published the Android app and iOS is pending Apple's approval. Besides that, the latest version also includes passkey storage for all platforms!About Bramble:It aims to be as feature-rich as all popular and a replacement for cloud-based...
you can review the code and decide if the quality is up to par?
bun truly made itself unappealing when it did the vibe coded port to rust
Just stop. You are trying way too hard to act smart while spouting a bunch of bs that doesn't line up with reality
Letting the state control our privacy is a huge price to pay for traffic management. Especially if said state is currently detaining people left and right, and occasionally murdering them
then it doesn't need to be done in any way.
This is a dangerous attitude.
We don't need mass surveillance for traffic control. It can be done by the police if they really wanted to do it. Truth is, they don't care enough about road safety. This is about surveillance of citizens for control. First step is just infrastructure setup - next step is using it to prosecute those who dare to challenge the rise of fascism.
Be an advocate for your own rights to privacy. Don't simply accept it as normalcy.
we need more tech literacy overall, so this might help with that also
I applaud France for this decision. Windows is basically legal spyware and adware at this point
