See screenshotsOn Android, you can easily unlock Pass Butler with your face or finger and fill out login forms in apps or websites automatically
Use Pass Butler only locally on your device – there are no artificial disadvantages if you want to stay away from the cloud
Pass Butler does not include any ads, because sensible passwords and ads that exfiltrate private data don't go well together
Store your sensitive passwords fully encrypted on a self-hosted server – you can avoid unknown cloud providers if you want
How to set upPass Butler is open-source – the code that secures your passwords can be checked by experts and everybody else who's interested

The communication between Pass Butler on your device and the sync server is always transport layer encrypted. Even though this is enough protection for most apps, Pass Butler goes one step further and encrypts all sensible data even before they are handed over to the sync server. This is called End-To-End (E2E) encryption.
Without your master password, the data is not accessible by anyone! Even if the server would get compromised by a hacker, he can't access any sensible information, because the data is always fully encrypted and protected at any time!

Stop using Post-it notes, email or dozens of messenger apps to share your collaborative accounts, because the process is time-consuming and frustrating – even more, if some passwords needs to be changed regularly.
Instead, Pass Butler offers password sharing: Grant access to selected passwords to desired people. If you change a password, it is automatically synced to all their devices, so they always have the most recent passwords.
For each password, you can choose if the desired person can only see the password or also can change it. Revoke the access to passwords at any time if you want.

Pass Butler is developed by Bastian Raschke from Hamburg living in Munich, Germany.
Security has always been a topic that interested me, so I studied computer science with focus on “secure and mobile systems” at the University of Applied Sciences in Trier, Germany. In that time I developed a fingerprint sensor software, a hardware security USB dongle (inspired by the famous YubiKey) and a lot more technical devices.
Now in my full-time job I'm a professional Android developer working for more than 8 years (see my website), so I put my knowledge together to start building my own password manager in 2019 because the competitors lacked of features I needed:
I wanted a modern looking app with a self-hosted sync server (without external sync bridge) and unlimited password sharing backed by cryptography to avoid storing all my private passwords on my business devices (only some chosen passwords should be accessible). I also think it is unacceptable for an app that handles highly sensitive data like passwords to include ads, which many of the competitors do. So Pass Butler was developed with love and patience in nearly 3 years in my free time to provide an app that is well-engineered and offers high code quality to protect your valueable login credentials as good as possible.
You are totally fine to use KeePass or other password managers if you like them. But Pass Butler offers the following advantages compared to other open-source password managers:
Pass Butler supports import from KeePass 2, KeePassX 2.x and KeePassXC – so you can try Pass Butler easily!
Pass Butler is open-source software, which means you can check out or modify the source code if you want to. In addition, everybody is able to review the technology that is used internally to protect your passwords. This ensures, no undesired code is hidden in the application.
Nevertheless, because the development took a long time and was a lot of work, the Android version costs an affordable fee. But of course you are totally free to compile and use both versions without any charge, the only limitation is the dark mode support of the desktop version that requires a Premium Key.
