About KeeWeb

KeeWeb is an open-source password manager that reads and writes KeePass (KDBX) databases. It runs as an offline-capable web app that needs no installation, or as desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. You can open several databases at once, search across all of them, tag and colour entries, attach files, and browse entry history. Files can be opened locally or from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or your own WebDAV server, and changes sync back automatically, with an offline copy kept for when you're disconnected. It is completely free, with no trials or limits, and you can also self-host the web app. The project moves slowly: new releases have been rare in recent years, so it is best treated as a stable, mature tool. It suits KeePass users who want a modern-looking client that also works in a browser.

Best for: KeePass users who want one client for the browser and the desktop.
