About CipherPaths

Private by design. Local by default. Free for everyone.

Our mission

Keep your digital life in your own hands

CipherPaths began with a simple idea: your passwords and your private files deserve the same strong protection, in the same place, without handing them to a cloud service.

There are already plenty of password managers. CipherPaths goes further by being a combined password and encrypted file manager — local, portable and free — so you decide exactly where your data lives.

What we stand for

Principles behind the app

Privacy first

No cloud accounts, no telemetry, no tracking. Your vault never leaves your device unless you move it there yourself.

Open foundations

Encryption is built on OpenSSL — an open-source library that undergoes frequent, rigorous third-party security audits.

Lightweight & free

A tiny, portable app under 1 MB, given away for free, with no upsells or subscriptions.

Under the hood

The technology

CipherPaths is a native Windows application written in modern C++, with the encryption core cleanly separated from the user interface so it can be reused on other platforms.

  • AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption for contents, names and metadata
  • PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 and HKDF for key derivation
  • Length-hiding padding for both names and file sizes
  • Portable core with a cross-platform command-line companion
  • Powered by the open-source OpenSSL library
