A unified, privacy-first, zero-trust security platform.
Password Manager • Biometric Authenticator • Encrypted Backup • Privacy Firewall
Fortis takes a decentralized, hub-and-spoke approach to personal security. A central Rust daemon (fortis-agent) runs locally on your machine, managing encrypted data and exposing local APIs (REST, Unix IPC, gRPC). Native clients communicate exclusively with this daemon.

|
fortis-backend The Rust workspace containing the agent daemon, core cryptographic library (SQLCipher, Argon2id, Ed25519), gRPC sync protocol, and biometric PAM module. |
fortis-desktop A beautiful, glassmorphic Tauri v2 desktop application for managing your encrypted vault. Built with Vite and TypeScript. |
|
fortis-mobile Android companion app built with Jetpack Compose. Serves as a biometric authenticator, vault browser, and TOTP generator. |
fortis-lock Chrome extension that disguises protected websites as DNS errors and unlocks them via biometric push authentication. |
|
fortis-cli Standalone command-line interface communicating with the agent via local Unix IPC. Fast, scriptable, and headless. |
fortis-backup High-performance, zero-dependency backup utility built in Bash using rsync and systemd. Provides instant hard-linked snapshots. |
|
fortis-observe Decoupled telemetry ingestion platform with dynamic WebGL 3D visualizations (Next.js). |
docs The central repository for ecosystem-wide architecture, API references, security models, and deployment guides. |
