KeePassX
KeePassXC is a free, open-source password manager developed as a community fork of KeePassX. It stores passwords and sensitive information in encrypted databases, allows secure generation of strong passwords, supports cross-platform synchronisation via cloud storage or local sync, and integrates with system features like TouchID for unlock. KeePassXC is popular among users seeking a privacy-respecting alternative to commercial password managers, and it is actively maintained with regular security updates and new features.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionKeePassXC has shipped native Apple Silicon (ARM64) builds since version 2.6.4, released in early 2021, so anyone still running an older Intel build under Rosetta will see better performance and battery life after updating. The simplest path is to visit keepassxc.org, download the latest macOS release directly, and run the installer — the site automatically serves the appropriate native build for M-series Macs. Alternatively, if you installed KeePassXC via Homebrew, running 'brew upgrade keepassxc' will pull the native version. Your existing password databases and preferences will carry over without any migration needed.
