MacPass began as an attempt to provide a nice looking feature complete KeePass client for macOS. To a degree this has been accomplished. Over the years, a couple of other awesome clients were created. With the decline of steady updates, MacPass fell behind in terms of UI and features. I hope we can revive the old fella and get cracking again!
