KeeForge is a native iOS password manager for KeePass (.kdbx) databases. Open vaults from iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or local files. AutoFill passwords, passkeys, and TOTP codes with Face ID. No accounts, no tracking, no subscription — fully open source under GPLv3.
Why KeeForge:
- Native iOS app, not a port — built in Swift for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Your vault stays encrypted on your device; we never see it
- Zero accounts, zero telemetry, zero ads
- Compatible with KeePassXC, KeePass 2.x, KeePassium, and Strongbox
Vault Management
- Open .kdbx databases from local files, iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or any Files app provider
- Manage multiple databases from a dedicated home screen
- Create new KDBX 4.x databases on-device or in Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV
- Browse groups and entries with instant search
Editing & Saving
- Create, edit, and delete entries with built-in password generation
- Autosave with timestamped backups and save-conflict detection
- Entry history, unknown fields, and third-party extensions preserved — no data loss when round-tripping with KeePassXC or other clients
- Read-only mode for shared databases
AutoFill
- AutoFill passwords, passkeys, and TOTP codes in Safari and apps
- QuickType bar suggestions — tap to fill with Face ID
- Save new credentials directly from AutoFill, even when offline
Security
- Face ID / Touch ID unlock with auto-lock inactivity timer
- Key file support — all KeePass formats (.key, .keyx, binary, hex)
- Screen recording detection blurs vault when capture is active
- Exponential lockout after failed unlock attempts
- Argon2 KDF, AES-GCM in-memory encryption of secrets
- Clipboard stays on-device — no Universal Clipboard sync
Open Source
- Fully open source under GPLv3
- Source on GitHub: github.com/KeeForge/KeeForge
- Independently audited; no network calls except to your own cloud storage and the optional in-app feedback form
Tip jar available if you'd like to support development. No subscription, no accounts, no upsell.
I read a couple of pieces online that gave a favorable mention of KeeForge, and decided to try it. I was a little surprised that iTunes/Finder file sharing doesn’t seem to be available. I imported the kdbx file instead, but would prefer the file sharing option. Might it be added at some point? The app looks good.Update: Thanks for your reply; I’ll check out the iCloud Drive option. I tend to use offline syncing as I prefer to not put my more sensitive files (such as kdbx files) in the cloud, even iCloud.
Developer Response
Thanks for giving KeeForge a try! Yes iTunes/Finder File Sharing isn't currently enabled yet. It's a reasonable request and I'm looking into adding it for a future update. In the meantime, if you save your .kdbx into iCloud Drive, you should be able to open it directly from there without a separate import. Appreciate the feedback!Update: that makes sense. I’ve implemented iTunes folder sharing and it should go out at 1.13 release
Works great

Really like the speed, UI and dev responsiveness. Wish list:Sync via WebDAV
Developer Response
Glad you like it! Will work on WebDAV sync next
• Copy databases from your computer: KeeForge’s Documents folder now appears in Finder and Windows File Sharing. Drop in a KDBX file to add it, replace it with a newer copy, or restore a deleted file.
• Choose an entry’s icon from the standard KeePass set or the custom icons already stored in your database. Icon changes travel with the database and appear in other KeePass apps.
• Download website icons directly from the icon chooser. KeeForge optimizes and deduplicates downloaded images before storing them in your database.
• Create credentials without leaving a signup page. The AutoFill picker can start a new entry pre-filled with the site’s name, address, and a generated password, then fill it immediately after saving.
• Locking a database now uses a smoother transition back to the database list or unlock screen.
Fixes:
• AutoFill no longer dismisses without filling on passkey-capable sites or after Face ID completes during a presentation transition.
• AutoFill now offers “Show All Credentials” when no matching password or verification-code entries are found.
• Website-icon downloads now work on networks that block QUIC and fail faster when a server cannot be reached.
• Edits made while a cloud save is uploading are no longer lost; the newer changes are included in the save.
• Databases with high Argon2 iteration counts but reasonable memory requirements now open correctly, including Argon2 v1.0 databases. Oversized settings produce clearer guidance.
• AutoFill now explains when a database’s Argon2 memory requirement exceeds the extension’s available memory.
