QtPass is a multi-platform open source graphical user interface for pass, the standard unix password manager.
The software protects future and changed passwords though against anyone with access to your password store only but not your keys.
Used with a smartcard the software also protects against anyone just monitoring/copying all files/keystrokes on that machine and such an attacker would only gain access to the passwords you actually use.
