Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've been working on for quite a while, and it's finally available on the Play Store. It's called Hexavault. The idea came from something that's always bothered me a little: these days, even when we're just trying to protect our own information, we often end up having to create accounts, rely on external services, or keep our data synced with someone else's servers. I'm not saying those solutions are necessarily bad, but I wanted to try a different approach. Something simpler, something that works directly on your phone and lets you decide what happens to your information. That's how I started building Hexavault, an Android security app that works entirely offline. It brings together three main features: - Password Generator: Create strong, customizable passwords without automatically keeping a history of everything you've generated. - File Protection: Encrypt documents, photos, and other files with a password, creating a protected version that you can store or share. - Vault: A secure space protected by a master password where you can keep credentials and files, with automatic locking and optional biometric authentication. One of the decisions I made early on was to leave out internet access entirely. The app doesn't even request internet permission. It also doesn't require an account, has no ads, and doesn't use analytics or tracking tools. That was an important part of the idea from the beginning: providing useful security tools without relying on external infrastructure to make them work. I also want to be upfront about what the app can't do yet. For example, the Vault doesn't currently support credential export or recovery. If the app's data is lost, those credentials can't be recovered. It's an important limitation to know about, especially if you're planning to store anything essential. Hexavault has just reached its first public release, version 1.0.0. Getting here involved a lot of development, testing, bug fixes, and decisions along the way. There's still plenty I want to improve, but I'm genuinely happy to finally be able to share what I've built. And that's really why I'm posting here. I'd love to hear what other people think about the idea, especially those interested in Android, privacy, and digital security. Whether it's a feature suggestion, criticism of the user experience, or even questions about the technical decisions behind the app, I'm open to all kinds of feedback. If you're curious and want to check it out, Hexavault is now available for free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.hexavault.secure I also have a website with more information about the project: https://hexavault.com.br/ Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this. I hope Hexavault turns out to be useful to some of you!   submitted by   /u/Single-Bass3438 [link]   [comments]
