Vaultwarden

Password Management

Lightweight, self-hosted Bitwarden-compatible password vault.

Vaultwarden is an unofficial, lightweight Bitwarden-compatible server written in Rust, letting you self-host a password manager that works with every official Bitwarden client (browser, mobile, desktop, CLI). It unlocks premium features like TOTP generation, file attachments and emergency access for free, and runs comfortably on tiny hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Resource footprint

Written in Rust, Vaultwarden is one of the lightest self-hosted apps you can run — well under 100 MB RAM at idle for a family-sized vault. Footprint grows only slightly with more users, organizations and file attachments.
