Coffer is very much in development - and should not be used to store import information

Coffer is a light weight password manager built with Go, React, and Electron.

Install (TBC)

To install Coffer you can download the pre-compiled binary from the 'releases' section of GitHub, just select the version for your OS and architecture and download Coffer.

Development

We actively welcome PRs and love to see the community contributing to Coffer. If you want to open a PR for a feature, or just want to hack on it, follow the intstructions below.

Setting up coffer

• Clone the repo, git clone https://github.com/spaceshuttl/coffer.git
• cd into the directory, install dependencies,

  cd coffer && npm install

• Build the repo, make build
• Run the backend ./bin/service
• Run the front end, npm run app

Note: There is a unison build system coming soon, hopefully there will be a single binary you can run.

Data retention

Coffer stores all passwords within a local file (~/.coffer/store.bolt by default.) All writes to the disk are encrypted with AES-256.

Frontend

• Write React components
• Implement WebSockets
