说明
apw (Apple Passwords) is a command-line interface for accessing Apple Passwords (formerly iCloud Keychain) on macOS. It provides shell access to iCloud-synced login credentials and OTP secrets without opening System Settings. The tool uses a daemon-based architecture where a background process communicates with macOS's built-in Passwords helper tool. Authentication uses native macOS prompts (Touch ID or password dialog), so credentials are never exposed insecurely. The list subcommands output JSON for scripting and automation.
