Best for a free KeePass vault on Android
KeePassDX is a free, ad-free Android app that opens KeePass database files, with autofill, passkeys, one-time codes and biometric unlock. It is Android only and has no sync of its own, so you move the file yourself.
Who KeePassDX is for
- Fits if you use Android and already keep a KeePass database
- Works for people who want a vault in a single local file
Who KeePassDX is not for
- Skip it if you use an iPhone, Mac or Windows PC, as it is Android only
- Not for you if you want built-in sync, since you move the database file yourself
- Too light for teams, as there is no sharing or admin console
- Watch out: the $10 price comes from the Google Play listing, while the project's site mentions only tips and donations

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyThe full app is free with no ads, and the project says no security feature is held back. A $10 one-time Pro on Google Play is optional support.

Keep KeePassDX, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace KeePassDX you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $10, paid once. KeePassDX is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Passkeys, which rest on security you cannot improvise.
- A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. KeePassDX’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is KeePassDX?
KeePassDX is an Android password and passkey manager that keeps everything in a local KeePass database file, with no account and no internet connection needed. The app is open source under the GPL v3 and says it collects no user data. A paid Pro version supports the project and adds optional visual styles.
Worth knowing
- Android only; there is no iPhone, Mac or Windows version from this project.
- There is no built-in sync service, so you move or sync the database file yourself.
- There is no team sharing or admin console, because the vault is a single local file.
- The $10 price comes from a Google Play listing seen on the app's page; the project's own site only mentions tips and donations.
