kelvin

Intro

The kelvin crate provides modules and methods used for creating simple password encryption managers. The crate was mainly built while working on kelvin, a terminal password manager.

terminal password manager

about

kelvin is a password manager like 1password but for the terminal. kelvin generates strong passwords from the terminal to your clipboard. generated passwords could be encrypted and saved with the domain names or what they correspond to, locally. all encrypted passwords are saved locally for later decryption by the authorized user. kelvin saves the data locally and encrypts the hidden directory with the gnu gpg.

in future kelvin is to be a terminal app with tui, daemonized so it could be started with a keybinding when user wants to get their password or add a password to the vault.
