Molvault
A tiny local-first password manager; barebones UI, rock-solid idea.

Molvault is a password manager for people who quietly distrust the cloud. Everything stays on your machine, the code is open for anyone to audit, and it never phones home. For a certain kind of user — and I’m one of them — that’s the whole pitch, and it lands.
You pay for that trust in polish. The UI is barebones, the browser extension took three tries to pair, and there’s no team story at all. But the idea is rock-solid and the execution is honest about what it is. If you’d rather own your secrets than rent them, it’s worth the rough edges.
