#MacPass
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.
MacPass is an attempt to create an OS X port of KeePass.
##Disclaimer
The Project is in heavy development. Beware that I'm going to shift things around so stuff is going to break. A lot.
##Dowload
Since github now provides a release feature, I'm trying to upload binaries on all the tags I create along the way.
Use it with caution, it's unfinished. Really!
All releases can be found at [Github](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/releases).
##Known Major Issues
* KDBX History is not supported
* KDBX DeletedObjects are stripped on save. This will break synchronisation features!
##System Requirement
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.
##Status
The Status can be found on the dedicated [Wiki page](https://github.com/mstarke/MacPass/wiki/Status).
##What does it look like?

##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.
