A native macOS quick-access window for Proton Pass. Hit a hotkey from any app, search your logins, copy a username, password or one-time code. Plus an SSH agent that gates your SSH keys behind Touch ID, like 1Password. Keyboard-driven. Free and open source.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Pass Quick Access because I moved to Proton Pass for the privacy and the European angle, but missed the one thing I used constantly in 1Password: a native quick-access window. Proton ships a solid Electron app, but no system-wide hotkey panel and no UI for SSH agent.
So that's what this is, native to macOS:
- Hit a hotkey from any app, search your logins, and copy a username, password or one-time code, or open the site. No window switching, no waiting for Electron to wake up.
- An SSH agent that serves your Proton Pass SSH keys to git and ssh and asks for Touch ID before every signature, naming the app that's asking. Just like 1Password's.
What I care about most: it never holds your secrets. It drives the official pass-cli under the hood, fetches each field just in time, and hands it straight to the clipboard, nothing cached. Private keys never leave pass-cli; the app only adds the Touch ID prompt.
It's completely free and fully open source, and not affiliated with Proton.
One honest note: it isn't notarized yet, because I'm a solo dev without an Apple Developer membership, so there's a quick first-launch step on macOS. I'm actually looking for a sponsor to cover that, so I can ship it notarized with automatic updates while keeping it free and open.
Would love your feedback, especially from other Proton Pass users.
Proton Pass quick access plus Touch ID-gated SSH keys is a very practical macOS workflow. I like that it’s keyboard-first. Are you planning team/shared vault support, or keeping it focused on personal workflows?
@sarveshsea Thanks, I appreciate that! The goal is exactly to make Proton Pass feel faster and more native on macOS, especially for keyboard-first workflows.
For now, I’m keeping the focus mostly on personal workflows. The current boundary is what pass-cli exposes cleanly and safely, especially because this is security-sensitive and I want to keep the app simple, reliable, and maintainable.
That said, ideas, suggestions, collaboration proposals, and PRs are very welcome if they help support broader use cases while staying within that boundary.

Pass Quick Access
Small but overdue update.
It installs like a normal Mac app now. Builds are signed and notarized.
If you're on an older build, the in-app updater will bring you across on its own.
