  • Signed app bundles Proton Pass CLI, no Homebrew or manual setup required.
Weaknesses
  • macOS-only limits audience; Windows and Linux Proton Pass users get nothing.
  • Niche tool for Proton Pass users specifically, not broadly applicable.

Post Description

I moved my family from 1Password to Proton Pass, but I kept missing Quick Access and 1Password’s CLI integrations.

I could not find an equivalent solution, so I built one and have been using it for a few months.

Quick Access for Pass is a native macOS application that lets me search Proton Pass vaults from anywhere using a global keyboard shortcut. It supports passwords, OTPs, SSH keys, and command execution with credentials from Proton Pass.

The project is built entirely around the Proton Pass CLI. To keep searches fast, it maintains an encrypted local index that contains only metadata for search and ranking. Secrets are fetched on demand from the Pass CLI and never stored locally.

Curious whether other Proton Pass users have run into the same issue, particularly those coming from 1Password.

AI Shortcuts – Hotkeys for ChatGPT on macOS

Turning any selected text into an instant AI edit with a single hotkey is a small UX idea that pays off — no more tab-switching or clipboard juggling. The BYO API key and customizable prompts/hotkeys are thoughtful: this keeps control (and costs) in your hands. It's not revolutionary — macOS already has a handful of similar utilities — but if the native accessibility hooks are robust and privacy is clear, this is exactly the kind of convenience tool people will use daily.
