Keep files, notes, passwords and 2FA codes sealed on your Mac. No account, no server, no sync: a build check fails any version that links networking code. Read files in place, unlock a decoy vault if forced, and leave any time with the open format.

Could you build this?

Partial The UI for files, notes, and passwords is vibe-codeable on macOS using CryptoKit or Keychain. The security design (decoy vaults, forced-unlock resistance, network-free build checks) needs real cryptography and security expertise to get right, and a mistake would be serious.

What it would actually take: The stack would be Swift/SwiftUI with CryptoKit, an encrypted container format, and a documented open file format. The hard part is a sound threat model and cryptographic design (key derivation, plausible deniability for the decoy vault) that is independently audited by security engineers before anyone trusts it.
