What it does
Padloc is an open-source password manager that also stores notes, cards and documents and supports sharing with families or organizations.
Padloc stores logins alongside notes, banking details and documents, with shared collections for household or team information. The same vault product has desktop, mobile and browser access, so device choice can be made around how records will be used.
The free and Premium plans have different allowances. Separate personal items from the information a shared group needs before adding members, and choose the relevant plan for that collection. The published Padloc code uses AGPLv3; the code license is separate from hosted-service allowances.
