Valet is a Swift library that simplifies securely storing data in the iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS Keychain. It wraps the Keychain's complex APIs behind an easy-to-use interface with support for biometric access controls.

Use cases

  • store sensitive data securely on iOS without learning Keychain APIs
  • persist secrets in the macOS Keychain
  • require Touch ID or Face ID to access stored data
  • share keychain data between apps on Apple platforms
  • store user tokens and passwords safely in a tvOS app

When to choose

  • you need secure local storage on iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS
  • you want Keychain access with biometric protection without dealing with raw Keychain APIs
  • you want a battle-tested library maintained by Square

When to avoid

  • you need secure storage on non-Apple platforms
  • you need a database or general-purpose storage rather than small secure key-value data
