About Secrets
Secrets is a password manager for the GNOME desktop, part of the GNOME World group of applications. It keeps passwords in KeePass-format databases, so the same file can be opened with other KeePass-compatible apps on other devices.
It is written in Python and published under the GNU GPLv3. It suits Linux users on GNOME who want a native-looking password manager that works with a local database file rather than a hosted service.
