Padster: Notes & Passwords
Encrypted notes & passwords
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Padster is a fast, offline-first notes app with a built-in password vault and secure secret sharing — built for developers and technical teams.
Everything is encrypted on your device before it syncs. Your recovery passphrase never leaves your phone, so nobody can read your data — not even us.
Every feature listed below is free. Padster has no subscription, no paid tier, and nothing to purchase inside the app.
NOTES
• Markdown notes with tags, folders and pinning
• Daily notes and a calendar view
• Full-text search and version history
• Works completely offline
VAULT
• Passwords and credentials encrypted on your device
• Built-in password generator
• Encrypted backup, so losing your phone does not lose your logins
DOCUMENTS
• A personal wallet for passports, ID cards, bank cards and certificates
• Attach scans and track expiry dates
• Masked by default, revealed only when you tap
SHARE SECRETS SAFELY
• Send a password with a link and a PIN
• Choose how long it lives: view once, one hour after opening, 24 hours, or 7 days
• View-once secrets are destroyed the moment they are read
• Revoke any share at any time, and see when it was opened
SHARED WORKSPACES
• Invite people to a space with its own notes, passwords and temporary secrets
• Shared content is end-to-end encrypted, and removing a member rotates the keys
• Members join with a single-use code — no email required
SYNC AND WEB ACCESS
• Sync across your devices, and open your notes in any browser at padster.ai
• Encrypted cloud backup you can restore onto a new phone
Your notes stay yours. Padster is offline-first by design and encrypted end to end.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Switching between tabs no longer jumps. Screens were being drawn before the safe area around the notch was known, so they appeared slightly high and then shifted down.
The calendar now makes a NEW note for the day you picked, already dated, instead of reopening the one note that day happened to have. A day can hold as many notes as you like, and a note filed under a date now shows that date in the editor.
Tags can be added from a note, and created there too, instead of only from Settings. A note can carry several.
Document scans open straight away rather than pausing first, and are available offline — they are downloaded with the rest of your data instead of when you first tap one.
Signing out locks this device. Your key is removed from it, so signing back in asks for your recovery passphrase again — previously it unlocked with no passphrase at all, which is not what Sign Out should mean.
Opening the app no longer shows your note list for a moment before asking for your passphrase. Nothing is shown until this device has confirmed it holds your key.
Forgotten your recovery passphrase? You can now start fresh on the same account instead of being stuck at the unlock screen. It says plainly what is lost and asks you to confirm.
While your key is worked out, a progress bar keeps moving instead of appearing to stall, and the ghost has found something to do with that padlock.
Security fixes, found by auditing the app end to end. On a device another Padster account had used before, a newly created account could end up writing its notes and passwords under that other account's key — readable by them, and not recoverable by you. Fixed, and the app now refuses to sync rather than ever using the wrong key. Nobody can look up other people's email addresses, or list workspaces they are not a member of.
Formatting a line as a bullet, number or checklist no longer deletes it when you press Return.
