Minimalist
Minimalist is a password manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that stores logins securely and helps you generate, organize, and sync credentials.
What is Minimalist?
Minimalist is a password manager designed for Apple devices that helps you store logins, generate strong passwords, and keep account details organized across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It focuses on everyday password management with tools for creating new entries, viewing password history, and exporting or importing data when you move from another password manager. The app supports encrypted local storage and uses iCloud-based sync so your vault can stay available on your own Apple devices. It also includes convenience features such as biometric unlock options supported by Apple platforms and readable password generation for new accounts. Minimalist is published by Jeffrey Fulton and is aimed at people who want a dedicated password manager within an Apple-centered workflow.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app handles highly sensitive data, so its trustworthiness depends on whether you intentionally installed it and recognize it as your password manager. Its use of encrypted storage, iCloud sync, and Apple security features is consistent with its stated purpose. Because password managers can expose all saved accounts if misused, check that the app is the one you expect, confirm you trust its remaining support status, and protect any exported files because exports can be unencrypted and readable by others.
Recommendation: Keep Minimalist if you actively use it to store passwords or need it to export your data. If you no longer use it, migrate your vault first, confirm your accounts are available in your new password manager, and then remove it to reduce exposure from unused credential software.
