What is Bramble?
A password manager keeping secrets on your own devices across browsers, desktop, and mobile platforms. No account or server storing vaults, no company can breach. Direct peer-to-peer synchronization keeps all devices in sync end-to-end encrypted. Stores logins, payment cards, secure notes, SSH keys, passkeys, and TOTP codes. Uses Argon2id key derivation with AES-256-GCM encryption. Unlock via master password, YubiKey hardware tokens, Face ID, Touch ID, Android biometrics, or recovery codes.
