KeeWeb

KeeWeb is a KeePass-compatible password manager for KDBX databases.

It is installed as a desktop option for working with password databases without committing secrets to the repository.

The tool is installed through Homebrew and declared in the project Brewfile.

Maintenance note: KeeWeb's active development has slowed considerably. It still reads and writes the standard KDBX format, so your data is not locked in, but if you want an actively maintained alternative for the same format, consider KeePassXC (brew install --cask keepassxc).

Installation

It is part of the curated Homebrew environment; see Homebrew setup to install everything at once.

Install KeeWeb directly:

brew install --cask keeweb

Verify the installation:

brew list --cask keeweb

Usage

Open KeeWeb from Applications or with:

open -a KeeWeb

Store password databases outside the repository.

Security notes

Never commit:

  • KDBX files;
  • key files;
  • exported passwords;
  • screenshots containing secrets;
  • generated recovery material.

Back up password databases through a deliberate personal backup process.

Rollback

Remove KeeWeb with:

brew uninstall --cask keeweb

Review local application data before deleting it.
