keychain-swift
A Swift library providing simple helper functions for securely storing text and data in the iOS/macOS Keychain.
What is keychain-swift?
KeychainSwift is a Swift library that simplifies interacting with Apple's Keychain, a secure storage system for sensitive data like passwords and tokens. It provides a concise, developer-friendly API to replace the verbose native Keychain API, making secure storage more accessible across iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
Swift developers building apps for Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS) who need to securely store sensitive data like passwords, tokens, or small encrypted keys. It's particularly useful for developers who find Apple's native Keychain API too verbose or complex.
Developers choose KeychainSwift for its minimal, Swifty API that reduces boilerplate code while maintaining the Keychain's robust security. It offers features like iCloud synchronization, access groups for sharing between apps, and support for multiple data types, all with simple methods like `set`, `get`, and `delete`.
