The same generator on your phone. It needs no permissions and never connects to the internet.
Terminal Integration
Run the identity generator locally on your machine for stateful, secure access directly from your terminal. It needs Python 3 and nothing else: no packages to install, and it never touches the network.
The generator reads its word lists from a data folder that has to sit beside the script, so install the whole thing rather than the single file.
