About CoraleVault
Why CoraleVault exists and what makes it different
Why This Exists
In 2020, I was tired of:
- Paying monthly fees just to access my own passwords
- Trusting big companies with my most sensitive data
- Worrying about cloud breaches exposing my accounts
So I built CoraleVault: a password manager that’s free, private, and actually yours.
What Makes It Different
You Own Your Data
Your passwords live on your computer, not someone else’s server. No company can:
- Shut down and lock you out
- Get hacked and expose your data
- Raise prices or change terms
- Sell your data to advertisers
Free Means Free
No trials. No premium tiers. No “pay to unlock features.” If you need a password manager, you should have one—without opening your wallet.
Open Source Transparency
Every line of code is public on GitHub. Security researchers, developers, and anyone curious can verify there’s no sneaky stuff happening.
The Journey
2020 - Started as a weekend project
2020-2025 - 5 years of development, testing, and hardening
October 2025 - Released to the world under GPL v3 (free forever)
November 2025 - Growing community, new features in the works
What’s Next?
- Browser extensions - Auto-fill passwords in Chrome, Firefox, etc.
- Mobile apps - iOS and Android versions
- Cloud sync - Optional encrypted sync (your choice!)
- Two-factor auth (TOTP) - Extra security for unlocking the app

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes! No subscriptions, no ads, no premium features. Free forever.
Can I trust it?
All the code is public on GitHub. Security experts can (and do) review it. Don’t trust, verify!
What if you abandon it?
Because it’s open source, the community can take over. You’ll never be locked out of your passwords.
How is this different from other password managers?
vs. Cloud managers (1Password, LastPass, etc.)
- ✅ Free forever (vs. monthly fees)
- ✅ Your computer only (vs. cloud servers)
- ✅ Open source (vs. proprietary)
vs. KeePass
- ✅ Modern codebase (C++, built 2020-2025)
- ✅ Native cross-platform (vs. ports)
- ⚠️ Smaller ecosystem (but growing!)
Both are great! Choose what works for you.
