New in Secrets 4.0.0 (May 31, 2023)

  • New Engine, Familiar Experience:
  • The entire storage layer of Secrets has been rewritten. This new version was designed to work better with iCloud and provide a more robust syncing experience. Secrets still uses the Sodium library for most of its cryptographic functions. Including for everything sent to iCloud.
  • No more passphrases… if you don’t want to. With almost all Apple devices being sold today including a Secure Enclave, Secrets 4 leverages its features to give you more flexible options on how you’d prefer to unlock your data. Want to use just Face ID? Sure. Want to use a passphrase or Touch ID? Yep. Want to use Face ID and a passphrase? You can do that too! You can even have different unlock methods on each device and have them all syncing with iCloud.
  • Make no mistakes, your data is still encrypted with a 256-bit key. This key is protected by the system’s Secure Enclave, cannot leave the device, and is gated by the unlocking mechanisms mentioned above (among others).
  • Trusted Devices:
  • So far you’d always have to type in your passphrase to sync a new device. Your passphrase actually had to be the same on all devices for syncing to work. But if Secrets 4 can be used without a passphrase, how does that work?
  • New in Secrets 4 is the notion of a trusted device. The first device that sync with iCloud become the root trusted device. When you want to sync a new device, it will ask for authorization from an existing trusted device. This process is similar to the pairing mechanism in Remote Secret Requests.
  • Shared Vaults:
  • The flagship feature of Secrets 4. One the main reasons behind our biggest refactor yet.
  • You can now create different vaults in Secrets:
  • Local: With local vaults your data never leaves your device.
  • iCloud: Data stored in these vaults is sync with all your trusted devices.
  • Shared: Still stored on iCloud, but you can invite any other Secrets user to read and write items to these vaults
  • Note shared vaults are completely built on top of iCloud. We still don’t run any servers. There’s no account to setup when you use Secrets. You just open the app and start using it.
