What changed from v1 (Java) ?
The original Lockbox Local was built with Java and SQLite. This v2 is a complete rewrite using modern technologies (Tauri 2.0 + React 19 + Rust), bringing AES-256-GCM encryption, a master password, categories, search, theming, and a much smaller footprint see comparison table below.
