1Password is one of the best password managers you can buy. It has family sharing, Watchtower alerts and autofill everywhere. It is also an account. Its security page says your account is protected by your password and a "128-bit encrypted Secret Key".
Off Grid AI Desktop (OGAD) Pro includes Vault. It keeps passwords, API keys, notes and files encrypted in one place. There is no account, and the vault lives on your computer. It comes in the same Pro key as AI, memory and meetings, and you pay once.

For a password manager alone, 1Password costs less in year one. Off Grid AI Pro is not only a vault. The same price covers the rest of Pro below.
How Vault works
- Open Vault in OGAD and set a master password.
- Save the 24-word recovery phrase somewhere safe. With the vault file and its recovery data, it lets you back in if you forget the password.
- Add logins, payment cards, API keys, secure notes and files. Everything is encrypted on your disk.
- Lock it when you finish. Only you can unlock it.
- To fill logins in Chrome, request the browser extension and pair it with the desktop app.
The extension can also fill payment card details on supported forms, for you to review. Run the Security check to find weak and reused passwords.
What else the same key covers
- Memory. Screens, meetings, mail and documents become one local memory you can search and ask.
- Meetings without a bot. Calls recorded, transcribed and summarised on your computer.
- Actions you approve. Replies and issues through Gmail, Linear, Jira and Notion.
- God, Reflect and Clipboard. A morning brief, time by project and person, and a searchable clipboard.
- Sync. Your phone and computer in sync, encrypted, device to device.
One key covers up to 5 devices.
When 1Password is the better pick
For most families, 1Password is the better password manager. It shares vaults across 5 people with admin controls. Autofill and autosave of logins come with every plan. It has Watchtower alerts for compromised passwords and Travel Mode for crossing borders. Its pricing page lists downloads for macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, the browser and the command line. Off Grid AI Vault does not match that reach.
If you share passwords with family or a team, keep 1Password. If you want your own secrets in a vault that no company holds, next to your API keys and private files, use Off Grid AI Vault.
Get started
- Download OGAD for Mac (Apple silicon), Windows or Linux.
- Get Pro and enter your key.
- Open Vault, set a master password and save your recovery phrase.
- Add your first logins and API keys.
