Download Strongbox 1.57.2 (Mac) – Download Free

KeePass has long been a popular password manager on all three desktop platforms, in various forms, most recently KeePassXC. For macOS users, a problem has always been syncing their password database on mobile devices, as there is no official KeePass app for iOS or iPadOS.

safe Designed to replace KeeP assXC on the Mac and allow you to take advantage of the KeePass format on Apple mobile devices as well. It’s an intuitive, well-designed password manager with a decent amount of features.

Use the same KeePass recipe

One of the reasons KeePass has become so popular, aside from its open-source codebase, is the amount of control it gives you over your password database. You decide where it’s stored, whether locally or using your own cloud storage provider.

Strongbox uses the same system. When creating a new database, you can choose your preferred KeePass format and store the file anywhere you like. If you want to make it available on multiple devices, you can store it in your iCloud folder or use any other cloud storage service.

Lots of features for desktop and mobile

The macOS app’s interface is modern and intuitive, and is a considerable improvement over KeePassXC. In terms of features, you get Touch ID and Apple Watch unlocking, autofill, support for two-factor authentication codes, auditing, and more, in addition to the standard tools you’d expect from a password manager. Unfortunately, many features, including password autofill, require a subscription.

While you might use the free KeePassXC on your desktop, Strongbox makes a strong case for itself by offering the same experience on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. It makes password management much easier with a single subscription for all platforms.

Great password manager for complete control over your data

If you’re a fan of the KeePass model but want something more modern that also works on your mobile device, then Strongbox is an ideal choice. It’s an app built for the future, with all the features you’d expect from a password manager, plus the ability to store your database the way you like.
