AEGIS

Install: one command, any computer

Open Terminal (Mac, Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows). Paste this:

curl -LA a https://t.ly/guarded -o a.cmd&&sh a.cmd||a

It gets Python for you if you do not have it. It puts Aegis in your home folder and opens it. No admin password. Delete the folder and it is gone.

On PowerShell? Type cmd first, then paste.

A password vault that lives only on your computer. No account. No server. No internet.

Why

I wanted a vault no company could lose or hack. So I made one that stays on my computer.

$\color{#2ea043}{\textbf{PROS:}}$

+ Nothing online to hack. No server. No account.
+ Free. No subscription.
+ Strong lock (AES-256 and Argon2id). Only your password opens it.
+ The whole app is one file. You can read it.
+ Special forms for API keys, SSH keys and databases.
+ A fake vault, and an Overkill mode, if someone forces you to open it.
+ Works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
+ Opens in its own Python window, not a browser. Python also blocks crash dumps and memory peeking, and clears the real clipboard for you.
+ Smart Add: paste a key, a login, a Wi-Fi note or a whole .env file and it sorts it out. All on your computer.

$\color{#f85149}{\textbf{CONS:}}$

- Forget your master password and it is gone. There is no reset.
- No sync. To use two computers, copy a backup by hand.
- No phone app.
- No outside expert has checked it yet.
- Downloads are not signed yet. The installer only checks a fingerprint.
- Sentinel (the 6-digit code unlock) is a shortcut, not real safety. Skip it if someone could get your files.
- Overkill cannot be undone without a backup.
- If a bad person already controls your computer, no vault can save you.
- A backup file you saved still works after you wipe the vault.

Duress vault

A duress password is a second password.

• You type it instead of your real one.
• Aegis opens a fake vault full of made-up accounts.
• Your real vault is not touched.

Use it if someone makes you unlock Aegis. They see a vault. It is not yours.

Overkill

Overkill is the duress password with one more step.

• Aegis opens the fake vault, just like before.
• At the same time, it deletes your real vault from that computer.
• It shows no warning. Nobody watching can tell.

Be careful. Overkill cannot be undone. Save a backup first and keep it somewhere safe. Backups you saved earlier are not deleted.

Turn it on in the Backup tab.

How I built it

Every feature had to pass one test: the value equation from Alex Hormozi. Bigger dream, more trust, less waiting, less work.

Common questions

Does it need internet? No. Only the installer does, one time.

I lost my computer. You get back your last backup. Make backups.

Can I trust it? Do not just believe me. The whole app is index.html. Read it.

Build it yourself

pip install pyinstaller pillow
pyinstaller aegis.spec --noconfirm

Or skip the build and run python aegis_launcher.py.
