Flatpak support

[Business_User]

I really appreciate the existing support for Linux but a further big improvement would be creating a flatpak version for use on any distribution. Especially now we are getting immutable distros that are only intended for use with Flatpaks. They seem to be the wave of the future.

Be aware that the Flatpak you mentioned is probably not an official release nor endorsed in any way by Enpass!

See comment here.

Hi @Abhishek Dewan,

Do you have an update on the progress for us? The Steam Deck already became very famous and other similar Linux Distributions with atomic desktops (image based with only flatpak support) emerge really fast (like Fedora Kinoite, Bazzite, SecureBlue, Manjaro atomic - just to name a few).

These Linux Desktops promise a very high stability and maximum comfort regarding updates. With the Windows 10 support ending this October 2025 more people will migrate to Linux (my whole family will) and these Atomic Linux spins are ideal for many people. But they only support flatpak to install applications.
For me it seems like a good idea to be one of the early password managers to be running on flatpak only systems.

The big advantage for you even is, that @ShobuPrime already create an unofficial flatpak version for Enpass:
https://discussion.enpass.io/index.php?/topic/8076-linux-make-an-official-enpass-appimagesnapflatpak/#findComment-85594

And from him you can probably get the information and assistance for building the package yourself. That should be a good shortcut to have the flatpak version available in no time.

If you worry, if a password managers can actually work as flatpak version and if the browser extension can still work:
yes! There is already the KeepassXC Flatpak version working absolutely flawlessly (only Auto-Type is not working on Wayland yet, but Enpass doesn't support Auto-Type yet anyways, so that's not an issue for Enpass).
And with this workaround https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/issues/1631#issuecomment-2464608760 I can even use the Keepass Browser Extension in the Firefox flatpak version. And the final version for xdg-desktop-portal (which will provide full support for integrations between flatpak apps) is already in the works:
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/705

I assume with the same workaround/ temporary fix like posted above for KeepassXC you could already have a working integration of Enpass flatpak and the Enpass browser extension in Firefox flatpak.
We only need the official Enpass Flatpak.
(I don't want to run an unoffical version to be honest and it didn't receive the latest updates)

Could this get a little bit higher priority, please? I don't want to migrate all family members to KeepassXC actually. We all love Enpass and got used to it.
I'm willing to assist with testing and additional information if required.

Best regards,
Kristian
