About:
Keysafe is a command-line utility designed to securely access and decrypt data stored within the macOS Keychain. It allows users to retrieve passwords, keys, and certificates from their system keychain via a simple interface. This tool is particularly useful for developers and system administrators needing to integrate keychain credentials into automated scripts and workflows.
Key Features:
  • Decrypts and retrieves passwords from the macOS Keychain
  • Simple command-line interface for easy scripting
  • Supports accessing specific keychains and keychain items
  • Open source and available via Homebrew
Use Cases:
  • Injecting database credentials into development environments securely
  • Automating deployment scripts that require API keys or certificates
  • Retrieving Wi-Fi passwords for network configuration tasks
Alternatives:
  • security – The native macOS 'security' command is more verbose and complex, whereas Keysafe offers a simpler, more user-friendly output for common tasks.
  • Keychain Access – The GUI app is manual and not scriptable, making Keysafe the preferred choice for automation.
