SesameAvailable
Desktop vault
The Windows and Linux app stores logins in a local vault. You can import records, search them, check passwords, and create or restore backups.
Available
Backup compatibility
Sesame converts backups from older versions. Before each official release, it restores every older backup format on Windows and Linux to check that they still open. Keep your original backup file anyway.
Available
Release checks
Before each official release, the build installs the real package on Windows and Linux, restores every supported older backup, restarts the app, and makes a new backup. Signing the Windows installer is still planned.
Available
Deployment
The website checks a new build before it replaces the live site, and if the check fails, the current site stays up.
Planned
Security review
Sesame has not had an independent security audit yet. The planned review covers the vault, the browser integration, the account service, and the release process.
Planned
Passkeys
We plan to let you save and use passkeys in Sesame. The design for storing them and using them in the browser needs a review first, so there is no date yet.
In progress
Sesame Sync
Sesame Sync is not available yet, and it stays off until its security review and release checks pass.
Sync has preview code, but it is turned off in released builds.
In progress
Browser extension
You can build the Chrome extension and an experimental Firefox version from source. Before it goes into the browser stores, it still needs store review, a signed installer for the part that talks to the desktop app, and install tests on fresh browser profiles.
Planned
Payment
The app is free. Managed Sync is planned at EUR 1 monthly or EUR 10 yearly.
Planned
Later
macOS support and unlocking with a security key need a design review first. Post-quantum device enrollment has a prototype that is waiting for review. None of these are in released builds.
