OwnSafe is a secure “card cabinet” for the things you keep in your wallet: payment cards and their PINs, ID cards, passports, driver's licenses, loyalty cards, bank accounts, Wi-Fi codes, and short notes. It's a focused vault for cards and codes — not a general-purpose password manager.
iPhone, iPad, and Mac (as a Designed-for-iPad app), plus an optional Apple Watch companion for your security codes and loyalty barcodes.
No. OwnSafe is a one-time purchase with no subscription, no ads, and no in-app purchases.
Yes. Your card fields and images are encrypted on your device, and stay encrypted when they sync through your private iCloud. Only your master password or PIN can unlock them. For the full picture, see our Security Overview.
No. There are no OwnSafe accounts and no OwnSafe servers. Your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud, and the sensitive parts are encrypted so that neither the developer nor Apple can read them.
For your security, your master credential is never stored anywhere, so it cannot be recovered — not even by us. If you forget it, your cards cannot be opened. Backups are protected with the same credential, so keep it somewhere you won't lose it (for example a trusted password manager or a safe place).
Yes. OwnSafe works fully offline. An internet connection is only used by iCloud to sync between your own devices, if you have iCloud enabled.
If iCloud is enabled and your devices use the same Apple ID, OwnSafe syncs your cards automatically through your private iCloud. The first time you open the app on a new device, you'll be asked for your master credential to unlock the shared encryption key.
Make sure both devices are signed in to the same Apple ID, have iCloud enabled for OwnSafe, and are online. Syncing can take a moment. On a new device you'll need to enter your master credential once to unlock.
Open Settings and choose Create backup. You'll get an encrypted
.ownsafebackup file that you can save or send wherever you like.
Open the .ownsafebackup file (for example from Files, Messages, or Mail) and
enter the master password it was created with. OwnSafe imports the cards it
contains.
The file itself is encrypted and unreadable without your master password, so the file is safe to move around. As always, keep your master password private — it's what protects the backup.
Payment cards, ID cards, passports, driver's licenses, loyalty/barcode cards, bank accounts (with multiple accounts under one bank), Wi-Fi credentials, and free-form notes.
When you scan a card, the camera image is read entirely on your device to pick up the number, dates, or a barcode. The image is never uploaded or stored.
Yes. OwnSafe renders standard barcodes (such as EAN-13 and Code 128) so you can scan them at the checkout. Note that some virtual cards use a rotating code that changes each time (a security feature); those can't be stored as a fixed barcode by any app.
Only what you opt in per card: the card's security codes and its loyalty barcode. Card numbers, names, images, and notes are never sent to the watch.
Open the card and turn on Show on Apple Watch (available for cards that have a security code or a barcode). You can also manage all of them in Settings → Apple Watch cards.
An Apple Watch pairs only with an iPhone, so the watch options appear on iPhone only. A choice you make on iPhone still applies.
Open OwnSafe on your paired iPhone and unlock it at least once so it can send the latest snapshot, and make sure the card has Show on Apple Watch turned on.
It removes your master credential and encryption key so you can start over. After a reset, previously stored cards can no longer be decrypted, so use it only when you mean to start fresh.
You can always unlock with your master password or PIN. If biometric unlock stops working, unlock once with your master credential; on devices without biometrics (for example some Macs) you'll simply enter your credential each time.
