Why Pay? (Spoiler: You Don’t Have To)
Lokker is built on a simple promise: your personal digital security should never be held hostage behind a paywall. Here is the full, transparent story behind how Lokker works, why paid plans exist, and how you can support this project.
Lokker is Completely Free to Use
You can use Lokker right now without paying a single penny. You don't even need to enter a credit card or create an account. All core features—storing unlimited passwords, bookmarks, credit cards, secure notes, 2FA authenticator codes, emergency recovery keys, and browser extension autofill—work 100% offline directly on your own device.
Zero Paywalls
No artificial limits on your passwords or bookmarks.
100% Local-First
Encrypted locally with AES-GCM 256-bit cryptography.
No User Tracking
No advertisements, no telemetry tracking your secrets.
Why Do Paid Plans (Pro & Plus) Exist?
If the vault is completely free, why do we have subscription options? The answer is straightforward: cloud infrastructure costs real money every month.
Database Storage
Hosting multi-region, real-time encrypted PostgreSQL instances requires continuous cloud hosting fees.
Real-Time Cloud Relays
Syncing credentials seamlessly between your desktop, laptop, mobile browser, and extension consumes server bandwidth.
Keeping the Lights On
Fair monetization keeps the independent developer afloat so this project remains healthy without corporate VC pressure.
💡 Staying Local Helps Save Costs!
If you choose to use Lokker purely offline on your device, no one is questioning you or forcing you to upgrade. In fact, staying local actually saves server and database bandwidth, which directly helps our operating costs!
