About:
MacPass is a free, open-source password manager specifically designed for macOS. It serves as a native client for KeePass databases (.kdbx), allowing users to securely store and manage credentials locally. The application offers a clean, native interface and robust features like auto-fill, password generation, and end-to-end encryption.
Key Features:
  • Native macOS integration with a clean, modern UI
  • Secure storage using KeePass database format (.kdbx)
  • Auto-fill capabilities for login credentials in browsers
  • Password generator and sensitive data management
  • Support for groups, attachments, and entry history
Use Cases:
  • Managing personal and work passwords securely across devices
  • Storing sensitive information like API keys and software licenses
  • Teams looking for a free, open-source alternative to commercial password managers
Alternatives:
  • 1Password – MacPass is free and open-source, whereas 1Password is a paid subscription service with cloud sync and team features.
  • KeePassXC – KeePassXC is cross-platform (Linux/Windows/macOS), while MacPass is macOS-exclusive with a more native look and feel.
