Strongbox is a native password manager client for iOS and macOS that opens KeePass (KDB/KDBX) and Password Safe (v3) vault files. It encrypts secrets with algorithms like Argon2, AES, ChaCha20, and Twofish, supports file attachments, YubiKey, and browser autofill extensions.

Use cases

  • manage keepass database on iphone
  • open kdbx password vault on mac
  • store passwords in password safe v3 format
  • generate strong passwords on ios
  • sync password vault via icloud
  • unlock keepass safe with yubikey
  • autofill passwords in safari and browsers

When to choose

  • you use KeePass or Password Safe formats on Apple devices
  • you want a native iOS/macOS app rather than a web vault
  • you need YubiKey or hardware-backed unlocking
  • you want offline, file-based password storage with iCloud sync

When to avoid

  • you need a self-hosted server-synced vault like Bitwarden or Vaultwarden
  • you require Linux, Windows, or Android first-class support
  • you want a fully free open-source app without App Store subscriptions
