Who is ByteBellSoftware?

ByteBellSoftware (BBS) is an independent studio founded by StudioDeurbel and HackerGamerCat. We build practical, privacy-friendly utility software — and run a community where people new to IT can actually learn by doing things.

Our first major release is PassPy Manager — a fully local, open-source password manager that never touches a server. Your data stays on your machine, encrypted with industry-standard AES-256 via Fernet and key derivation via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256.

Everything here is open, honest, and built by people who are still learning themselves. No dark patterns, no data harvesting — just software that respects you.
