KeyTree is a local-first password manager for Windows. Organize accounts, passwords and one-time codes in your own encrypted .kdbx file. Find entries with groups and search, then use the quick panel, copy actions or auto-type for everyday sign-ins.
Vaults use KDBX 4 with AES-256 and Argon2id. KeyTree adds groups, tags and search, TOTP one-time codes, password and passphrase generation, a quick panel with a global shortcut, Windows Hello and DPAPI fast unlock, idle auto-lock, clipboard clearing, screenshot hiding, a tray icon, optional autostart, and vault health checks. It imports CSV from Chrome, Edge, and KeePassXC, keeps versioned backups next to the vault file, and can sync through your own WebDAV service manually or on lock.
No cloud service is required to manage a local vault. The application interface is currently Chinese.
