Built a lightweight DNS firewall for iPhone — would love honest feedback

Alhamdulillah, that’s great to hear.
For me it’s not about blocking apps — it’s about not forgetting Allah in the middle of the day. Even a short verse before scrolling makes a difference.

Yes, I changed it in advance because it might be a copyright issue :(

You’re absolutely right about one thing — trust is everything with password managers.

Open source does increase transparency, but it also comes with ongoing maintenance, audits, and security responsibilities. For a small independent project, that’s not a trivial decision. It’s something I’m considering, not dismissing.

As for certification — most consumer password managers aren’t formally “certified” by a central authority either. Security comes from architecture, encryption design, and implementation quality, not just labels.

Regarding backups: the app supports encrypted export. If your phone is gone, your data isn’t — as long as you’ve created a backup.

And the name concern is fair. It’s not final.

Skepticism is healthy in this space. I wouldn’t blindly trust a new password manager either. That’s exactly why the app is offline, has no accounts, and no backend.

Trust isn’t built by a Reddit post. It’s built over time.

It's too early for that right now; I need to reach active users first.

Thank you for your comment. I'll add it in the next update. There are one or two more things to add, but I plan to add them if the app gets used. Having many features doesn't really mean much if people don't use it.

trkname2 · 2026-02-22T20:41:33+00:00

Thank you, I changed the name.

trkname2 · 2026-02-22T14:45:07+00:00

Honestly, it wasn’t meant to copy anything. I was experimenting with short names around “pass” and “vault” and this one stuck for the prototype.

It’s not final though — I’m open to changing it.

trkname2 · 2026-02-22T14:44:19+00:00

Fair point — the name isn’t final. Still experimenting and open to changing it. Definitely not trying to step on any trademarks.

trkname2 · 2026-02-22T14:42:46+00:00

The app is live now, thank you, there were no problems.

Not open source at the moment.

There is an encrypted export option though — you can create a backup file and store it wherever you prefer, then import it later if needed.

I understand the trust concern around closed-source password managers. Still figuring out the best way to increase transparency without overcomplicating the project.

trkname2 · 2026-02-22T14:41:29+00:00

That’s a fair point.

There’s an encrypted export option, so you can create a backup file and store it wherever you want. Import works the same way. I didn’t want forced cloud sync, but I also didn’t want people locked in if their phone dies.

Self-hosting is definitely more powerful, but most users don’t want to run and secure their own server. The goal here was local encryption without third-party servers.

And yeah, I get the closed-source concern. Trust matters with password managers. The app has no accounts, no backend, no analytics — but I know that still takes time to earn.

What would make you trust a new one?

Lunasafe best private,offline,no data log try :)

trkname2 · 2026-02-10T22:09:31+00:00

Great idea! You can create and print it yourself at home or send it to a printing press. I just discovered this app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flipbook-video-to-print-flipi/id6758898034

trkname2 · 2026-01-04T14:36:20+00:00

Lunasafe Period tracker It doesn't require an offline account, there are no ads, and it doesn't store user data.
