(KeePassium is not available on the Mac.) The main limitation is that 1Password doesn’t export attachments, so you’ll have to add them back to the corresponding KeePassXC entries manually. The developer of the iOS KeePassium app has written excellent documentation for making the switch, explaining how to export your 1Password vault locally and then import it into KeePassXC on the desktop. That could be on your Mac, on a NAS, or in a cloud service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud. You are given an encrypted database in the open KDBX format, and you choose where to store it. If what I describe below sounds like too much trouble, but you still want an open-source solution, check out Bitwarden, which offers both a cloud service and a self-hosted option (though the self-hosted option is a total pain to set up). If you want total control over your data and have the time and skills to maintain it securely, KeePass may be a good option. With KeePass, I always felt like I had complete control of my password database. The original KeePass has always been Windows-only, but there are multiple KeePass-compatible apps for all platforms, and you’re free to pick whichever one is right for you. As a native Mac app KeePassX doesn't require Mono, but it's NOT 'portable'.I always somewhat regretted switching away from KeePass, which stores its encrypted database in a standardized, open format. KeePassX uses the KeePass 2 (.kdbx) database format, which presumably means it can read/write to the same database file used by KeePass 2.x. KeePassX, which was originally a fork of the Windows software, but the latest version is a complete rewrite. There is a similar software available for Mac OS X, i.e. However, an individual Wine App would be extremely large in comparison to the same software as a portable Windows app, typically 300-500Mb or more, depending on the dependencies required. It would however be capable of storing the KeePass Database on the USB.

it's a version of KeePass specifically compiled to run on OS X with Mono.Īlternatively, you could install the Windows Version in a Wine Wrapper with Mono installed, which should be able run from a USB disk, but it won't be truly portable as almost all Mac OS X (including all Wine Apps) leave some traces on the Host System. Install the KeePass 2.x for Mac OS X package (link on the downloads page)". The KeePass site states that, if you have Mono installed: KeePass Portable, as available from this site is Windows only, as is the portable version available directly from the KeePass site.
