A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Proton Pass Plus, create a local password and alias vault with portable encrypted backup. The hard boundary is proton identity, email alias infrastructure, audits, apps, recovery, and privacy operations, plus security assurance, infrastructure, and trust.

You are building a lean indie version of Proton Pass Plus. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Proton Pass Plus indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Proton Pass Plus workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Create a local password and alias vault with strong encryption, portable encrypted backups, explicit threat-model documentation, and no claim of replacing an audited service. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - Proton identity, email alias infrastructure, audits, apps, recovery, and privacy operations - independent security audits - global relay infrastructure - breach monitoring data - account recovery and support If those capabilities are essential, use Vaultwarden instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build a closest honest personal substitute for Proton Pass Plus in an empty repository. Use Rust, Tauri 2, React, SQLite, Argon2id, and audited cryptographic libraries; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: create a local password and alias vault with strong encryption, portable encrypted backups, explicit threat-model documentation, and no claim of replacing an audited service. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Write a plain-language threat model before implementing any sensitive feature. Keep all vault data encrypted with a master key derived through Argon2id and a unique salt. Use authenticated encryption from a maintained library and never invent cryptographic primitives. Implement lock timeout, clipboard clearing, password generation, import, export, and encrypted backups. Make recovery-key creation explicit and test restore from a fresh installation. Display a persistent warning that the build has not received an independent security audit. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Do not claim to reproduce proprietary data, network liquidity, regulated access, or frontier infrastructure. Deliberately leave out a production VPN or anonymity network. Deliberately leave out identity-protection monitoring and data-broker removal. Deliberately leave out enterprise security guarantees, audits, and emergency support. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. ## Required capabilities - desktop OS - secure backup location - modern cryptographic libraries - careful review before real-world use ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file.

People still pay for Proton Pass Plus because security products are paid for because expert review, infrastructure, and accountability matter more than recreating screens. The recurring cost buys cryptography, secure updates, key recovery, threat intelligence, relay capacity, abuse response, audits, and incident handling, not just the visible interface.

Not really. Proton Pass Plus's value is not the code: Recheck price before merge. See the honest breakdown above.
How much does Proton Pass Plus cost?
Proton Pass Plus costs about $2.99/month (Pass Plus, checked 2026-08-14), which is $35.88 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Proton Pass Plus?
Honestly: Proton identity, email alias infrastructure, audits, apps, recovery, and privacy operations; independent security audits; global relay infrastructure; breach monitoring data; account recovery and support. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Proton Pass Plus?
Yes: AliasVault (Passwords, passkeys, aliases, and encrypted backups on your server; reliable mail delivery is now infrastructure.) Proton Pass Free (The same password-and-alias vault with ten aliases and portable exports; unlimited aliases and sharing stay paid.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
