What it does
Codebook is a password and private-data vault with flexible fields, autofill and an optional Codebook Cloud synchronization and sharing service.
Codebook's data model lets a record have fields chosen for the information it holds. Categories, entries and labels can therefore organize financial references or other secrets alongside passwords. Its page distinguishes free personal use from optional Codebook Cloud syncing and sharing. Decide whether the local app or hosted service fits the intended device workflow. The use of SQLCipher does not make every part of the application or cloud service an open-source product.
Free personal use is limited to noncommercial use; the page requires a business license for business use. Its Linux support is also specific: the Windows application runs through Wine, rather than being a separate native Linux client.
