What Mac2FA is

Mac2FA is a free macOS application that generates time-based one-time password codes locally. TOTP secrets are stored in the macOS Keychain rather than synchronized to a cloud, and the maker describes the app as local-first with no account required. Accounts can be imported from Google Authenticator migration links or QR codes, standard otpauth:// TOTP URIs, QR images, or manually entered Base32 secrets. Supported algorithms are SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512. Codes may use six, seven, or eight digits and 30- or 60-second periods. Users can search by issuer or label and click an account row to copy its current code. Mac2FA requires macOS 14 or later and uses native SwiftUI. It stores and generates TOTP accounts only; HOTP entries are unsupported and not imported. Proprietary exports from other authenticator apps work only when they provide standard otpauth:// TOTP data. The app can check GitHub releases for new versions when it launches. Its Free plan costs nothing.
