A GUI for the standard unix password manager.
Made with Go and the Gio UI toolkit.
Planned as a part of ADE (yet a mythical desktop environment).
- Fast search (by filter) and navigation in your password database.
- Copy passwords and other fields into the clipboard.
- Clipboard is automatically cleared after 60 seconds (customizable).
- Support markdown formatting for the fields.
- Per-field masking in the formatted view: prefix a metadata key with
.to hide its value (e.g..pin: 1234). - Keep state between runs for selecting fields of the same record.
Shortcuts apply globally unless you are in edit mode (where arrows and Escape behave like a normal editor).
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Escape | Quit the app (saves last selection to cache). In edit mode: cancel editing (or abandon a new card — see below). |
| ↑ / ↓ | Move selection in the list. |
| Ctrl+Enter | Toggle Formatted view ↔ Not Masked Source. If the “add new record” row is visible, also creates the new entry. |
| Ctrl+C | In Not Masked Source only: copy the current text selection to the clipboard (starts the same clear timer). |
| Ctrl+L | Copy the first matching field among login, user, username (case-insensitive keys). |
| Ctrl+E | Copy the first matching field among email, mail, e-mail. |
| Ctrl+O | Open a URL: looks for url or link, otherwise the first metadata value containing ://. Uses xdg-open. |
| Ctrl+M | Open edit mode for the selected entry (must be decrypted first). |
| Ctrl+R | After a failed decrypt (“Wrong key”), retry decryption for the selected entry. |
Compatible with common pass variables used by this app:
| Variable | Role |
|---|---|
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR |
Password store root (default ~/.password-store). |
PASSWORD_STORE_KEY |
Optional GPG key id for encryption when saving (otherwise recipients come from .gpg-id). |
PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME |
Seconds until the clipboard is cleared after a copy (default 60). |
Usable but still in development.
