AltPass is a local-first password manager. Your vault is a single encrypted KDBX file that lives in YOUR cloud (OneDrive) or on your device — there are no AltPass servers, no accounts to create, and no telemetry. Everything happens on your device: your master password never leaves it, and encryption and matching run locally. FEATURES • Passwords, one-time codes (TOTP) and passkeys in one encrypted vault • System AutoFill — fill logins and passkeys across apps and websites • Strong password generator • Import from Bitwarden, CSV and other KeePass apps • Sync through your own OneDrive, or keep a purely local file — your choice • Face ID / Touch ID unlock • Merge duplicate accounts, field by field OPEN FORMAT, NO LOCK-IN Your vault is a standard KDBX4 file. It opens as-is in KeePassXC, KeePassDX, Strongbox and KeePassium, so your data is always yours. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No ads. The developer never sees your data — the optional sync talks directly to your own cloud storage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AltPass at none against Passbook's 1. AltPass also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 19 months). Passbook's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
