🟢 Status
iKeePass is back in the App Store — as an app for iPhone and iPad and as a Mac app:
- 🍏 iKeePass for iPhone & iPad — version 5.2
- 💻 iKeePass for Mac — version 5.1
The next release is already built: everything added since the current store versions is listed below under In preparation.
🚧 In preparation — version 5.3
As of 17 September 2026
These features are finished and run in the development builds. They are not in the App Store yet — the store still carries iOS 5.2 and macOS 5.1.
🍏 iPhone & iPad
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🧱 List or tile view | A switch in the toolbar; tiles show password quality as a coloured border. Reachable on every navigation level. |
| 🛡️ HIBP results are kept | The outcome of the breach check is stored as a field inside the entry instead of being fetched again on every start. |
| ⏱️ Auto logout | Timed closing of the database. The setting lives in the KDBX file and applies across devices. |
| 🔍 Spotlight search | Title, user name and URL are indexed — never the password. Selecting a result opens the entry in the app. |
| 📥 Import from Apple Passwords | Passwords, verification codes and passkeys via Credential Exchange (FIDO CXP) — encrypted, without an export file. Requires iOS 26. |
| 🔢 OTP detail view | A view of its own with issuer, type, digits, interval and the running code; the secret only on an explicit tap. |
| 📱 OTP widget | WidgetKit widget in medium and large size with a countdown ring. No secret ever leaves the app. |
| 🔊 Error reports with a platform prefix | Reports carry iKeePass iOS, so iOS and macOS errors can no longer be confused. |
Fixed: Entries whose code sits in the KDBX field “TOTP Seed” did not appear in the OTP list on iPhone at all. Plus 17 strings corrected to proper German umlauts.
💻 Mac
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🌐 Browser extensions extended | A stable local bridge, a save field in the HTTP basic auth dialog, two-stage subdomain lookup and a Safari web extension of its own. |
| 🕵️ Browser request log | A dialog logging every request from the extensions, with the browser it came from. |
| 🔑 AutoFill credential provider | System-wide filling in Safari and other apps — without accessibility access. |
| 🛡️ HIBP in the dashboard | Check results are stored and evaluated; single entries can be rechecked on demand. |
| ⚡ Search without delay | Filtering and clearing the search are instant even beyond 2,000 entries. |
| 📐 Adaptive 3/2 column view | Narrowing the window folds it to two columns — and the selection survives. |
| 📥 Import from Apple Passwords | Credential Exchange with preview, duplicate check and the 📥 marker. |
| ⏱️ Auto logout + 🔍 Spotlight | As on iPhone, with the same settings stored in the KDBX file. |
🚀 Raycast plugin + ikeepass:// |
Search and paste entries from Raycast; a deep link scheme jumps back into the app. |
| 🤖 MCP agent | Drive iKeePass from Claude Code: 34 tools in seven groups, grants with a double budget, a confirmation per secret and an access history. |
| 🔢 OTP over MCP + detail view | create_entry and update_entry accept an otpauth:// URI; the secret is masked in the dialog. |
| 🔊 Error reports with a platform prefix | Reports carry iKeePass OSX. |
Fixed: After locking, Touch ID sign-in failed on a spent file permission from the bookmark cache. Reading OTP entries lost the issuer, type, digits and interval.
