end-to-end encryption
Your vault. On every device.
Pairing takes one scan and no account. One device shows a code, the other scans it, and both show the same eight digits — confirm they match and the two are paired for good. Add as many devices as you need; each one pairs once and stays in step from then on.
After pairing, your devices reach each other through a relay — ours by default, or one you host yourself. It splices two connections together and nothing more: every byte is encrypted end-to-end — the relay never sees inside your vault. Pairing uses Noise NK with an 8-digit SAS the user confirms; every sync run then opens with a fresh Noise KK handshake, and no vault byte moves until both sides have authenticated.
the architecture
How Peach is different.
Every major password manager works the same way: you create an account, they store your vault on their servers, and you retrieve it when you log in. That means the company can see your vault data, a server can be breached, and your account can be locked or deleted.
Peach doesn't work that way. Your vault lives on your device — encrypted with a key only you hold. There is no hosted vault to retrieve it from, no account to log into, and no central database that can be breached. Peach Sync moves your changes between your own devices through a relay that stores no vault or customer data; the connection stays encrypted end-to-end the whole way. If you want to move to a new device without syncing, export your vault as PeachScript or use Peach Codex to print a scannable physical backup — restore either with the backup password you set.
The backup is an encrypted snapshot of your vault — not your secrets in plain text. Without its password, it is useless data. The encryption (AES-256-GCM) and key derivation (Argon2id at 64MB) are applied before the backup is ever generated, on-device, with no network involved.
Passkeys work where you browse. Peach supports them in Firefox and Chrome so you can sign in with your device instead of another password.
advanced security
Defenses for the cases people avoid.
Two Peach Pro features built for hard edge cases: a vault that may have been extracted, and a moment where unlocking is not optional.
