Show HN: VeilVault – an Android password manager built to stay local

I used to keep important passwords in ways that were a lot more primitive than they should have been, mostly because I never fully got comfortable with putting everything behind an account or cloud sync by default.

That eventually turned into building the password manager I actually wanted to use myself: Android-only, local-first, offline-first, and built around keeping the vault on-device.

I’ve been using it daily for a while now, and that shaped the app more than trying to chase a giant feature checklist.

It’s called VeilVault. I published the crypto/storage core separately for anyone who wants to inspect the local encryption and storage side.

A short demo is on the site for anyone who wants to see the app before installing.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codeveil.v...

Crypto/storage core: https://github.com/DG-Lev/veilvault-crypto-core

Happy to answer questions about the design choices, security model, or where I deliberately chose not to follow the usual cloud-sync route.
