Password management without the password cloud.

QtPass is a password manager with a simple interface. Your passwords are encrypted with GPG and stored in files you control. Sync them across all your devices with Git.

Why QtPass?

QtPass works with pass, the standard UNIX password manager. Your passwords are encrypted with GPG using open standards — no vendor lock-in, fully portable and under your control.

GPG encrypted Open-standard encryption with your keys
Git synced Versioned store, synced across devices
Open source Free software you can read and audit
No account Nothing to sign up for
No telemetry QtPass never phones home
No cloud dependency Local files, under your control

It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD with a native look and feel on each platform. Your password store syncs via Git, so you always have a backup and can access your passwords across all your devices. Already using pass? QtPass works on your existing store: point it at the folder and go.

QtPass is open source and free. It includes a secure password generator, built-in one-time passwords (TOTP, incl. Steam Guard), a clipboard with auto-clear, support for smartcards and YubiKeys through GnuPG, several password stores side by side, and is available in over 60 languages.

No accounts, no telemetry, no network code: QtPass never phones home. Read the privacy policy, it is short.

Looks at home on your desktop

QtPass is a native desktop application, not a browser around a cloud service. It uses the widgets, menus and colours of the platform it runs on — and follows its light or dark preference. The same store, everywhere you run it.

QtPass on Linux in the light theme — **Linux, light** — following your desktop theme.

QtPass on Linux in the dark theme — **Linux, dark** — the same store, a different theme.

QtPass on Windows 11, following the Windows look and feel — **Windows 11** — native light and dark.

QtPass on macOS, following the macOS look and feel — **macOS** — native light and dark.

QtPass on FreeBSD, following the desktop look and feel — **FreeBSD** — native light and dark.
