Kleopatra Neo on macOS: keys, encryption tools and your password vault in one window.

What Kleopatra Neo does on your Mac

The full PGP toolbox

Generate RSA 4096 or Curve25519 keys, import the ones you have, then encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Keys stay in a vault on your Mac.

Passwords and 2FA

Logins and one-time codes live next to your keys, with a strength meter and a generator. The browser extension fills them on any site.

PGP for Gmail

With the extension, write and read encrypted email right inside Gmail, using the keys you already manage in the app.

Encrypted sync, when you want it

Turn on sync and your vault follows you to Windows, the browser and your other Macs, encrypted with AES-256 on this Mac before upload.

Encrypt a message in seconds

Pick the recipient's public key, write your message, press Encrypt. Out comes a PGP block you can paste into Mail, Messages or any chat, signed with your own key so they know it came from you.

Open what you receive, verified

Paste the block someone sent you. Your private key unlocks it on your Mac and the signature is checked against the keys you hold, so a green banner confirms who wrote it and that nothing was changed.

Decrypt a message

Your passwords, next to your keys

Save logins with a strength check and generate new ones in six styles. Add 2FA codes and let the browser extension fill both on any site.

Kleopatra on macOS

Many people look for Kleopatra on a Mac after using it on Windows. The classic Kleopatra is the key manager that ships with Gpg4win, which its maintainers distribute for Windows. Kleopatra Neo is a separate, independent app that brings the same kind of key manager to macOS as a native application, built for Apple Silicon.

Both follow the OpenPGP standard, so keys move freely between them, and between GPG Suite, Thunderbird and ProtonMail. Export a key as an .asc file from one, import it into the other, and keep writing to the same people.

On an Intel Mac, or if you would rather not install anything, open Kleopatra Neo in your browser. It is the same app, with the same features.

Privacy by design

Encryption and decryption run on your Mac. With sync turned on, your vault is encrypted with AES-256 on your Mac before upload, so the server stores ciphertext.

Frequently Asked Questions

The macOS download is built for Apple Silicon (M1 and later). On an Intel Mac, the full app runs in Safari, Chrome or Firefox at kleopatra.app, with the same features and no installation.

Is Kleopatra Neo for Mac free?

Yes, the download is free and the app works on your Mac without an account. Encrypted sync between devices is part of a paid plan, which starts with a 14-day free trial.

Can I bring my keys from Gpg4win Kleopatra or GPG Suite?

Yes. Export your keys as .asc files from Kleopatra, GPG Keychain or the gpg command line, then import them into Kleopatra Neo. Every tool speaks the same OpenPGP standard, so the keys work unchanged.

Is Kleopatra Neo made by the Gpg4win or KDE projects?

No. Kleopatra Neo is an independent application built on OpenPGP.js. It is not affiliated with KDE, the GnuPG project or Gpg4win.
