Desktop Guide

Overview

The desktop app is the primary client for people. It supports offline-first personal vaults and can optionally connect to a server for shared vaults.

Install

Download the desktop app from GitHub Releases. If you need to build locally:

cd apps/desktop
bun install
bun run tauri build

Local usage (no server)

• Create a personal vault and store secrets locally.
• The app works offline-first.

Shared vaults (with server)

• Connect to a server to access shared vaults.
• Use the server for multi-user access and policy enforcement.

Tips

• Keep the desktop app updated for security fixes.
• Use a strong device unlock password and OS keychain protections.
