Psono at a glance

Checked 15 Oct 2026

Psono is a company-focused password manager you self-host with Docker and PostgreSQL, or use as SaaS. The server (Community Edition) is Apache-2.0 and developed on GitLab; the GitHub repo is a mirror, so its star count understates use. Vault data is encrypted client-side and can be shared with teammates. The vendor says all business features are free up to 10 users; the Enterprise Edition adds features such as a gateway. Small installs need about 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM for the server plus a database VM. No third-party audit report found.
