Passepartout

Passepartout (French: /pas.paʁ.tu/) is your go-to app for VPN and privacy.

Passepartout is backed by Partout and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Android and Windows versions are coming soon.

Features

Passepartout is an OpenVPN® and WireGuard® client for Apple platforms. The OpenVPN stack also implements the Tunnelblick XOR patch.

Other features:

• On-demand rules
• Override DNS and HTTP proxy
• Custom routing
• Presets for multiple providers (virtually any)

Tailored for Apple platforms:

• Apple TV
• iCloud
• Shortcuts
• No background activities
• Wise on battery

Installation

Requirements

• iOS 17+ / macOS 14+ / tvOS 17+
• Xcode 26
• Swift 6
• Git (preinstalled with the Xcode Command Line Tools)
• Java (optional, for the OpenAPI Generator)

It's highly recommended that you use the Git and Ruby packages provided by Homebrew.

Testing

Download the app codebase locally:

git clone https://github.com/partout-io/passepartout
cd passepartout
git submodule update --init partout

Then find the Xcode project in app-apple. For everything to work properly, you must comply with all the capabilities and entitlements in the main app and the tunnel extension target. Therefore, you must update the Config.xcconfig file according to your developer account.

To test the app on your Mac or iOS/tvOS Simulator:

• Open Passepartout.xcodeproj in Xcode
• Run the Passepartout target

Binaries

All the GitHub Releases come with Mac .dmg images for arm64 and x86_64, though the binaries are currently limited to free features only. It's recommended that you verify the GPG signatures with my GPG key, which you can also fetch from the public keyservers:

gpg --recv-keys 28891B14B2635EA11F438034092E0218047A5650

Homebrew

You can install the Mac app with Homebrew Cask too:

brew install passepartout
