KeyForgePro vs PassPony

KeyForgePro is a native app for generating and importing cryptographic keys in PEM format — fast, local, and built for developers. Generate RSA Keys Create RSA key pairs in 1024, 2048, or 4096 bits. Get PKCS#8 private keys (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY) and SPKI public keys (BEGIN PUBLIC KEY) ready to copy and use. Import Private Keys Paste a PKCS#8 or RSA private key and instantly derive the matching public key. EC P-256 private keys are supported as well. Copy in One Tap Copy public or private PEM to the clipboard. Clear keys when you’re finished. Built for Real Work A clean SwiftUI interface with multiple themes. No accounts. No cloud sync. Your keys stay on your device. iPhone, iPad, and Mac The same focused workflow across Apple platforms — generate, import, copy, done. Whether you need a quick RSA pair for testing, a public key from an existing private PEM, or a simple key tool without the terminal — KeyForgePro keeps it simple and local.

PassPony is a password manager for people who want to own their passwords. Every entry is one encrypted file in a store you control, in the same format as the pass and passage command line tools. Your Mac, your server, and your phone can all work on the same store. WHY A FILE-BASED STORE One entry, one file: the password on the first line, anything else after it. Encrypted with your keys: age identities for passage stores, OpenPGP keys for pass stores. Synced with git: clone your existing store, publish a new one, and resolve conflicts per entry, never with a silent merge. Interoperable: commits match the pass CLI format, so the store stays fully usable from the desktop tools. EVERYDAY USE QuickType autofill: your passes appear above the keyboard when you sign in. Only entry names are indexed; nothing decrypts until you fill. Live one-time codes: entries with an otpauth line show a TOTP code with a countdown ring. Face ID or Touch ID unlock, with a five-minute grace window shared with autofill. Ephemeral clipboard: copies are local only and clear after 45 seconds. Field-level editing that preserves the exact bytes of lines it does not touch. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account, no signup, no PassPony server. The only network connection is the git remote you configure. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Open source, Apache-2.0. The full app and its Rust core are published in a public git repository for anyone to audit. FORMATS passage stores encrypt with modern age identities. pass stores encrypt with OpenPGP keys (Cv25519 and X25519/Ed25519 in software). RSA-keyed stores need a smartcard, which is not supported yet. Each format keeps its own store; switching never touches the other. Localized in English, Spanish, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian. If you already run pass or passage, PassPony is the missing phone half of your setup. If you have never used them, the first-run tour will have you adding your first pass in about a minute.
