Krypt vs Bitwarden.
Both are good.
They solve different problems.
Bitwarden is a strong password manager when you need sync, browser access, sharing, teams, or self-hosting. Krypt is for people who specifically want a private iPhone vault without cloud sync or an account.

The honest answer
Bitwarden is not the enemy.
Complexity is.
For many users, Bitwarden is the right choice. If you need sync across desktop and mobile, sharing, emergency access, browser extensions, or organization features, Krypt is not trying to replace that.
Krypt exists for the opposite user: someone who does not want to run a server, does not want a cloud vault, and only needs a secure local place on their iPhone.
Why Krypt exists
Some people want
fewer moving parts.
No cloud syncYour vault is not built around remote
synchronization.
No accountNo signup or identity layer just to store private
data.
Built-in 2FATOTP codes can live beside passwords and notes.
Private filesStore scans, PDFs, photos, and sensitive
documents.
Decoy PINOpen a different vault when needed.
iPhone-firstFocused on local mobile privacy, not enterprise vault
management.
Keep private things private.
Krypt stores passwords, 2FA codes, notes, and files directly on your iPhone — with no account, no cloud, and no sync.
