There are a lot of iOS KeePass tools around but a distinct lack of a good native macOS version. KeePass can be used via Mono on macOS but lacks vital functionality and feels sluggish and simply out of place.
MacPass is an attempt to create a native macOS port of KeePass on a solid open source foundation with a vibrant community pushing it further to become the best KeePass client for macOS.
All pre-built releases can be found at Github.
An unsigned build of the current contiuous tag can be found here: Continuous Build
Due to the nature of the build it might be unstable, however this version contains all the latest changes and bug fixes!
If you want to contribute by fixing a bug, adding a feature or improving localization you're awesome!
- Fetch the source of MacPass
git clone https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass --recursive- Install Carthage
- Install all Dependencies
cd MacPass
carthage bootstrap --platform macOSAfter that you can build and run in Xcode. The following command will build and make the application available through Spotlight. If you run into signing issues take a look at Issue #92. Since Sparkle is disabled only on the CI build and in Debug mode, you have to explicitly disable it in Release. Otherwise warnings on unsecure updates will appear.
xcodebuild -scheme MacPass -target MacPass -configuration Release CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO NO_SPARKLE=NO_SPARKLE
