How KeeForge compares

Already using a password manager? Here's where KeeForge fits.

vs iCloud Keychain

  • KeePass .kdbx vaults work with desktop tools (KeePassXC, KeePass 2.x) and across non-Apple devices.
  • Your encrypted database is portable — back it up locally, sync via Dropbox or OneDrive, or store offline.
  • Open source code you can audit, with no telemetry of any kind.

vs 1Password & Bitwarden

  • No subscription, no account, no vendor lock-in. Your vault is a file on your device or your own cloud.
  • Compatible with the open KeePass ecosystem — KeePassXC, Strongbox, KeePassium, Keepass2Android.
  • GPLv3 open source. Every line is auditable, with zero analytics or telemetry.

vs other iOS KeePass clients

  • Native Swift, built for iOS 17+ with current platform features (passkeys, TOTP AutoFill, Files integration).
  • Free forever, all features included — no premium tier, no in-app paywalls (just an optional tip jar).
  • Saves are conflict-detected and auto-backed-up; AutoFill works offline for cloud-backed vaults.

Frequently asked questions

Does KeeForge work on Mac and iPad?

Yes. The same app runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 / macOS 14 or later required.

Where do my passwords actually live?

In a .kdbx file on your device, your iCloud Drive, your Dropbox, your OneDrive, or any other Files-app provider you choose. KeeForge has no servers and never sees your vault.

How is this different from iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain stores credentials in Apple's proprietary format and syncs only between Apple devices. KeeForge uses the open KeePass .kdbx format, which is readable by KeePassXC on Mac/Windows/Linux, KeePass 2.x on Windows, and Keepass2Android on Android. Your vault is portable and you control where it lives.

Can I import from 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass?

KeeForge opens any standard .kdbx file. The simplest path is to export from your current manager and use KeePassXC on the desktop to convert it into a KeePass database, then open that database in KeeForge. Direct in-app importers are not currently available.

Is it really free, no asterisks?

Yes. No subscription, no premium tier, no paywall, no ads, no upsell. There's an optional tip jar inside the app if you'd like to support development.

Is the source really available?

Full source on GitHub under GPLv3 — github.com/crazytan/KeeForge. Build it yourself, audit the code, contribute, fork.

Security you can verify

KeeForge is fully open source under the GPLv3 license — every line is public and auditable on GitHub. There are no analytics, no background telemetry, and no network calls except to your own cloud storage — plus the optional in-app feedback form, which only sends the message you type and visible error details when you tap Send. Your passwords never leave your control.
