VAULT

A Peer-to-Peer Password and Note Manager built using React & Autopass

No servers. No cloud. No central authority. Just pure P2P encryption.

---

Overview

VAULT is a decentralized password and note manager built using the Holepunch stack.
It stores and synchronizes encrypted data peer-to-peer using Autopass, without relying on any centralised server.

Unlike traditional password managers:

• No central database
• No backend server
• No cloud dependency
• No account system

Instead:

• Local-first
• Encrypted
• Peer-to-peer synced
• Seed-based access

Tech Stack

• ReactJS (Frontend)
• Autopass (P2P data layer)
• Corestore (Encrypted local storage)
• Node Crypto (Secure seed generation)
• Zustand (State management)

Why VAULT?

Traditional password and note managers rely on centralized infrastructure.
VAULT explores a different idea:

What if your password and note manager was entirely peer-to-peer?

This project demonstrates:

• Understanding of decentralized architectures
• Autopass integration
• Seed-based identity systems
• Secure local-first storage
• Clean and modular React structure

UI Philosophy

Minimal. Secure. Focused.

The interface is designed to:

• Feel clean and distraction-free
• Emphasize privacy-first interaction
• Maintain performance and responsiveness
• Keep security clear but non-intrusive
