What's Included

KeyForge v1.0.1 - Small Upate

Changes

• Improved File Storage: On startup, KeyForge now stores all data files (e.g., .master_password.txt, .passwords.json) in a hidden folder named .keyforge_data instead of the executable directory.

Important

• Upgrading from Older Versions: If updating from v1.0.0 or earlier, KeyForge will automatically move existing files (e.g., .master_password.txt, .passwords.json, .notes.json) into the new .keyforge_data folder. Ensure the application has write permissions to perform this migration successfully.

What's Included

• KeyForge-1.0.1-Windows.exe: Standalone executable for Windows.
• KeyForge-1.0.1-macOS.zip: Zipped application bundle for macOS (unzip to extract KeyForge.app).

Installation

• Windows: Download KeyForge-1.0.1-Windows.exe and run it directly. No installation required.
• macOS: Download KeyForge-1.0.1-macOS.zip, unzip it, and move KeyForge.app to your Applications folder or another preferred location. Launch it from there.

Notes

• Writable Directory Required: Ensure the executable or app is placed in a directory with write permissions (e.g., Desktop, Documents, or a USB drive) to allow the creation of the .keyforge_data folder and migration of existing files.
• Hidden Folder: The .keyforge_data folder is automatically hidden (dot-prefixed on macOS/Linux, hidden attribute on Windows) for improved organization and security.
