Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 9 of the 27 other password managers we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about KeePassDX, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is Android only and has no sync of its own, so you move the file yourself.
- 1
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.
- 2
What it costs

- 3
There is a free plan

- 6
Passkeys and one-time codes
Stores passkeys and private keys in the vault and generates HOTP and TOTP codes for two-factor logins.
- 7
Autofill and Magikeyboard
Fills forms through Android autofill, or through a built-in keyboard that types entries into any field.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | The 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. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Everything is free to use, with nothing locked behind a plan. |
| Features | C | Local KeePass database, passkeys, one-time codes, autofill, biometric unlock and attachments. There is no sync, team sharing or admin console. |

| Platforms and integrations | C | Android only, with no iPhone, Mac or Windows version from this project. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Worth knowing

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
