A popup menu for macOS to search for pass passwords and allow you to easily paste them.
I constantly use the wonderful passmenu dmenu script in Linux, so I wanted to be able to do something similar in macOS. This is very basic, but it works, so someone else may find it useful.
You will need Xcode and Carthage, which you can install with Homebrew:
brew install carthage
Clone the repository and run carthage update to install the HotKey framework.
You should now be able to just build in Xcode.
Passmenu depends on pass, which in turn depends on gnupg. You can install
these with Homebrew. You will almost certainly also need to have pinentry-mac
installed, and your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf should contain a line like:
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac
When you run Passmenu, it will show a status menu on the menu bar that says "pass". You can click this to quit or to search for a password. You can also press the global shortcut Command-Option-P at any time to open the search window.
The password search window simply allows you to type and will search the
passwords you have stored in ~/.password-store and display the results. You
can use cursor keys to navigate and select an entry by double-clicking or
hitting return. When you select an entry, passmenu will run
/usr/local/bin/pass to decrypt the password, which should pop up the GPG
dialog if necessary (if anything fails, it will probably just crash). Once the
password is decrypted it will be copied to the clipboard. 45 seconds later, the
clipboard will be cleared.
From the menu, you can select Preferences to configure which repository to
search, which pass binary to use and the PATH to use when calling it (which should include /usr/local/bin or wherever you keep your Homebrew).
This is pretty basic, but it works. I've added some sanity checks so hopefully you'll get more error notifications than crashes.
I'm not a macOS developer, so this is all from-scratch stuff based on googling every function call I need. Turns out Swift is pretty neat, though. If any experienced ninjas have cool suggestions for better ways to manage things, feel free to create an issue or a PR.
It would be nice to be able to automatically search multiple pass repositories, which isn't terribly hard to do. I'd need to show some indication of which repo each result came from to allow you to choose between identical names.
I'd like to make the interaction between UserDefaults and the PassFacade object a bit less clumsy.
More preferency things.
Fancy icons.
