Secrets is a password manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that stores logins and other sensitive information with iCloud sync and autofill.
What is Secrets?
Secrets is a password manager that helps you store passwords, secure notes, and other sensitive information on Apple devices. It is built for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and is designed for people who want a native Apple-platform app for managing personal credentials without creating a separate service account. Common uses include saving website logins, organizing private records, filling credentials in browsers and apps, and keeping items synced through iCloud across devices. The app supports autofill, biometric unlocking with Face ID or Touch ID where available, and Apple Watch unlock on Mac. Secrets is published by Outer Corner and focuses on a privacy-first workflow where your data stays tied to your Apple ecosystem rather than a vendor-run account system.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Secrets is legitimate password-management software, so it is expected to handle highly sensitive data such as passwords and private notes. Features like autofill, browser integration, iCloud syncing, and convenient unlocking methods are normal for this type of app, but they also mean the app becomes an important part of how you access accounts. Keep your device passcode, Apple ID security, and backups well protected, and only remove the app after confirming you still have access to any passwords stored in it.
Recommendation: Keep Secrets if you use it to manage passwords or secure information on your Apple devices. If you plan to stop using it, export or migrate your saved data first and confirm your accounts remain accessible before uninstalling.
