Download Minimalist 2.9.9 (Mac) – Download Free

Like many other paid services, password managers often suffer from feature creep. It can cause users to pay for a bunch of features they don’t need, or even make it difficult to use the service effectively.

minimalist Designed to replace established password managers that have either become too bloated or too focused on the enterprise market. With this app, you get a fairly basic yet powerful password manager that runs on all your Apple devices, doesn’t require browser extensions, and has a simple, intuitive UI.

Password Manager for the Apple Ecosystem

First, it’s worth mentioning that Minimalist doesn’t work on Windows or Linux, it only supports Safari on macOS. That’s because it uses Apple’s AutoFill feature, which is only available in Safari. However, on iOS and iPadOS it works with all major browsers thanks to better autofill integration.

If you’re just an Apple and Safari user, none of this is a problem. The app even uses iCloud to store and sync your data, which not only makes it more reliable, but also makes it easier to trust sensitive information.

Everything you need for a password manager

Minimalist looks basic at first glance, but you’ll quickly realize that it doesn’t miss any functionality needed to actually store, access, and fill in passwords.

You can add user accounts, credit card information, security notes, licenses, and any other type of data you need. Includes a password generator and one-time code generator to reduce your reliance on authentication applications for 2FA-enabled websites.

Perfect for users who swear by Apple products

Minimalist is more or less perfect if you own a Mac and an iPhone or iPad, and you don’t use a Windows PC or browser other than the 10-foot Safari. It’s essentially Apple’s keychain, with enough features to act as a full-fledged password manager and even a one-time purchase for users who can’t handle more subscriptions.
