Introducing Passwork desktop app

Passwork is now available as a full-featured desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The desktop app delivers complete password management functionality: manage credentials, access vaults, collaborate with your team, all with the native performance and convenience of a desktop environment.

Supported operating systems

The desktop application supports Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, and Linux distros including Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 34+, Debian 11+, and others (64-bit).

How to download

You can download the desktop app directly from the Passwork interface.

Note: If you have an active session in the web version, Passwork will prompt you to continue with the current user or switch accounts.

How to update

New desktop app versions are released alongside Passwork updates. When a new version becomes available, the app prompts you to update. The process is automatic — the installer downloads from the repository and installs without manual intervention.

What's next

Upcoming releases will introduce desktop-exclusive features, including offline mode. Access your passwords without a server connection, ensuring continuity even when network access is unavailable.

On macOS, the system may block the first launch because the app is still undergoing Apple's verification process. To allow it, open System SettingsPrivacy & Security, find the message about Passwork being blocked, click Open Anyway, and authenticate with your administrator password.
