There a lot of iOS KeePass tools around but a distinct lack of a good OS X Version. There a lot of iOS KeePass tools around but a distinct lack of a good OS X Version.
KeePass can be used via Mono on OS X but lacks vital functionality and feels sluggish. KeePass can be used via Mono on OS X but lacks vital functionality and feels sluggish.
This is an attempt to create an OS X port that should at least be able to read KeePass files. MacPass is an attempt to create an OS X port of KeePass.

I'm trying to upload new builds along the way for all of you that just want to take a quick look. Since github now provides a release feature, I'm trying to upload binaries on all the tags I create along the way.
As stated in the disclaimer, this software cannot be considered safe for work in it's current development status. Use it with caution, it's unfinished. Really!
Use it with caution! Since I did start refactoring the KeePassLib there is even more potential broken code!
[Older Version of MacPass at Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yqgfwi7f8mnd747/NCQlJmg0f0) (build 1882 07/04/2013) All releases can be found at [Github](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/releases).
All [new Release](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/releases) are server from Github. ##Known Major Issues
##Known Issues * Databas V1 handling is dodgy. (e.g. attachments)
* Undo/Redo get's messed up when the Trash (=RecylcleBin in KeePass terms) is enabled/used ##System Requirement
* Drag and Drop in Outline/Entry View broken
##Help The Minimum OS X Version for MacPass currently is 10.8 Mountain Lion.
With 10.9 Mavericks around the corner, I'm a bit hesitant to support 10.7 Lion.
I'm in constant need of a full set of Databases with all possible keyfile/password and format combinations.
If you are able to provide databases with keyfiles (Hashed, Binary, XML) I would love to hear from you!
##Requirement
MacPass needs OS X 10.8 as a minimum OS version since it takes advantage of some of the enhancements in Autolayout in 10.8.
It might be possible to target 10.7 but with the upcomming 10.9 release, I think 10.8 is a feasable minimum.
##Status ##Status
Take a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/wiki/Status) The Status can be found on the dedicated [Wiki page](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/wiki/Status).
##Alternatives
Currently there is an alpha Version available of [KeePassX](http://www.keepassx.org).
It's Qt based KeePass manager, than can handle KeePass 1 and 2 containers rather nicely.
Compared to running KeePass with Mono it very fast and remarkably stable for an alpha relaese.
Feel free to give it a try. The biggest draw-back is it's inablity to create passwords via a wizzard.

##Alternatives
[KeePassX](http://www.keepassx.org) is a Qt based KeePass port, than can read Databases Version 1 and 2 and write Version 2 containers rather nicely.
It's in active development, open source. Sadly there's only an older alpha binary release. It fully supports all database features.
[KyPass Companion](http://www.kyuran.be/logiciels/kypass4mac/) is a native Cocoa port and offers KeePassHttp compatiblity.
Should be able to read and write version 1 and 2 database. Is closed source and in early development. Beta releases have an expiry date. Not all database features are fully supported.
[S3crets](http://s3crets.com/en/help/) native Cocoa Port with a different approach to displaying the database fully inside a tree.
Is able to read and write version 1 and 2 databases. Not all database features are fully supported.
