Built natively for macOS: a proper sidebar, the menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop, light or dark. The same encrypted vault you carry on your iPhone, sitting where you actually do the paperwork.
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Requires macOS 14 or later.
Unlock with Touch ID, drag a file onto the window, watch it read the fields and file itself away, all on the desktop. Every frame of this runs on device; nothing you see was uploaded anywhere.
The password manager is built into the Mac app too. Logins, passkeys, and 2FA codes, end-to-end encrypted with the same key as your documents, with AutoFill in Safari and your apps and a private Security Checkup that shows you what to fix first.
Everything in one encrypted place, synced with your iPhone and iPad on the same Apple Account. No separate account and no master password to reset.
Set Kinship Vault as your AutoFill provider in System Settings and it fills logins and passkeys in Safari and your apps, unlocked with Touch ID or your Mac password.
A score out of 100 that ranks weak, reused, old, and breached logins by impact, with a clear next step. In Strict Offline mode the breach check stays off and the rest still run.
Each secret is wrapped with a key derived from your hardware-sealed master key and encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Nothing about your passwords is ever readable to us.
Not a phone layout blown up to fill a window. Every Mac convention you'd expect is where you'd expect it.
Split view with your library, protection, quick actions, and vault health always in reach. Recent documents open straight into the detail pane. The grid adds columns as you widen the window.
⌘N for a new document. ⌘L to lock the vault instantly. ⌃⌘S to show or hide the sidebar. Both vault commands grey out while the vault is locked.
Drop a PDF or a photo onto the window, or pull one from Photos or Files. The same on-device recognition reads the fields and encrypts it before it touches storage.
A category list with a focused pane, the way Mac settings are supposed to work. General, Security, Notifications, Emergency, Backup, iCloud Sync, and Legacy.
Follow the system or pin it, from the appearance picker in General. The look changes. Nothing about how the vault protects you does.
One vault, every device
On the iPhone that already holds your vault, open Settings and choose Link a New Device. A QR appears for 60 seconds. On the Mac, choose Bring My Vault and hold the iPhone up to the Mac's built-in camera.
The key passes directly between the two machines through that code. Your documents come down from your own encrypted iCloud backup and are decrypted only on the Mac. Nothing about the handoff routes through us, because there is nothing of yours on our side to route.
It works in the other direction too: the Mac can show the code and hand your vault to a new iPhone. See the four-step walkthrough.
The same encryption
On an Apple silicon Mac, your 256-bit master key is wrapped by the Secure Enclave using ECIES, the same hardware seal as on the iPhone. Every document still gets its own key derived with HKDF, and every file is still encrypted on its own with AES-256-GCM. There is no account, no password to reset, and no key on our side for anyone to ask us for.
Unlock with Touch ID if your Mac has it, with your Mac login password if it doesn't, or with your PIN.
One honest detail, since Macs differ: plenty of them have no Touch ID at all, so the Mac also keeps a copy of your key wrapped by a PBKDF2 key derived from your PIN. That's what lets a PIN alone open the vault on a machine with no biometrics, and it means your PIN is doing real work here. Pick one you don't use anywhere else.
The Mac app is not a viewer or a companion. It's the whole vault.
Filter the whole vault down to one person's IDs, records, and files in a single click.
Each one holds a sealed recovery piece that opens nothing on its own.
Calm reminders before anything you carry expires, checked against your whole library.
Final wishes, accounts, and sealed letters for the people who matter.
We'd rather you heard these from us than found them out later. The encryption is identical; these are the places the platform itself differs.
There's no camera-scanning flow on the Mac. Instead of pointing a lens at a passport, you drag the file onto the window or pull it in from Photos or Files. The same on-device recognition reads the fields, across the same 100+ document types, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. The Mac does use its camera for one thing: reading the pairing QR from your iPhone.
On iOS, the pairing QR is hidden from screenshots and screen recordings by the system. macOS gives apps no equivalent, and cannot even tell an app that the screen is being captured. So when the Mac is the device displaying a pairing code, that code is not screenshot-protected, and the app says so on screen. It still expires after 60 seconds. Treat the code the way you'd treat the key it is: show it to your other device, and to nothing else.
The inactivity-triggered handoff depends on check-in reminders arriving reliably over a long stretch of time, which a desktop app that may sit closed for weeks cannot promise. Rather than ship something that looks like a safety net and isn't one, we left it off the Mac. Set it up on your iPhone; it protects the same vault.
Also worth knowing: pairing needs a camera, so a Mac without one (a Mac mini or Studio with no webcam attached) can't scan the QR. Use your recovery passphrase or your Recovery Network on that machine instead.
