How does the mobile app connect to my account?

By Chris Winfield-Blum • August 18, 2026

Download the apps from /download (or the Apple App Store and Google Play).

The apps authenticate with a personal API token. You can create a token in Settings → API Tokens and paste it into the app, or complete the in-app connection flow. The app validates the token with GET /api/validate-api-key and may send a device name and type so the token is labelled as a mobile connection.

Once connected, the app can check in, list vaults, and lock or unlock vaults using the same API as power users. The Apple listing may be unlisted, so use the direct store URL if search does not find it.
