Keyring — password manager (roadmap)
What it will be
Section titled “What it will be”A cross-platform password manager that:
- Shares identity with every other Katafract app via Sigil — no second email + password to remember.
- Stores the encrypted vault in Vaultyx — same zero-knowledge posture, same replication.
- Ships as iOS / macOS / Android + Safari / Chrome / Firefox extensions.
- Integrates with AutoFill (iOS Password AutoFill, macOS AutoFill, Android Accessibility Service).
Bundle: com.katafract.keyring. Pricing: included in Enclave and Sovereign tiers — no separate purchase.
Why not just recommend Bitwarden
Section titled “Why not just recommend Bitwarden”Bitwarden is good. For users who already have one Katafract subscription, requiring them to create a second Bitwarden account — with its own email, recovery workflow, billing, and threat model — increases the number of things they have to trust. Keyring eliminates that by building on primitives we already ship.
What it needs before it can ship
Section titled “What it needs before it can ship”- A shared secret envelope SPM module (working name
KatafractSecretEnvelope) that Vaultyx + Keyring + Authenticator can all use. Extracting the current Vaultyx encryption into a reusable package is sprint 1. - A browser-extension build pipeline. Extensions have their own pain points (MV3 service workers, content-security policies, storefront review).
- A password-import shape compatible with Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, Apple Passwords, and Chrome’s built-in exporter.
- Clipboard + AutoFill integration per platform.
Target timeline
Section titled “Target timeline”Not committed. Rough estimate from the growth-playbook memo: 3 months of solo founder work after Authenticator ships (which is sprint 1 of the “secret envelope” extraction).
