Locksmith is a protocol-oriented Swift library for interacting with the iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS keychain. It provides a simple API for saving, loading, updating, and deleting secure data with strongly typed results.

Use cases

  • store passwords securely in the iOS keychain
  • save user credentials on macOS
  • read and write keychain items in Swift
  • add secure storage to my Swift types via protocols
  • delete keychain entries in an iOS app
  • manage keychain metadata with strongly typed results

When to choose

  • you need keychain access across iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS
  • you prefer a protocol-oriented, Swift-native API over raw Security framework calls
  • you want typed access to keychain metadata

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform (non-Apple) secure storage solution
  • your project targets Swift versions older than 4 without using the legacy branch
  • the library appears to be in maintenance mode and you need actively developed features
