Flow Launcher Plugin — Proton Pass

A Flow Launcher plugin for quick access to your Proton Pass credentials via the pass-cli command-line interface. Entries title and id are cached at startup for fast search. Details are loaded on demand and not cached.

Features

• Search logins — type pp <search> to find credentials across your vaults
• Multi-vault support — cache and search across all your Proton Pass vaults
• Vault switching — use @VaultName to scope your search to a specific vault
• All vaults mode — use @* to search everything at once
• Vault names with spaces — use @"My Vault" syntax
• TOTP tokens — displays time-based one-time passwords from totp_uri fields, auto-updating every second
• Copy to clipboard — click a field (email, username, password, TOTP, etc.) to copy it
• Open URLs — click a URL to open it in your browser
• Refresh cache — re-fetch all vaults and items on demand
• Configurable result limit — control how many results are shown
• Stay-open mode — keep Flow Launcher open after copying multiple fields

Quick Start

2. Open Flow Launcher (Alt+Space)

Usage

Action keyword

The default action keyword is pp. Type pp followed by your search query:

pp                        → list all items in default vault
pp github                 → search for "github" in default vault
pp "My Login"             → exact match search

Vault selection

Use @ to select a vault:

pp @                      → show vault list (select one to continue)
pp @Personal              → show all items in Personal vault
pp @Personal github       → search "github" in Personal vault
pp @*                     → search all vaults
pp @* github              → search "github" in all vaults
pp @"My Family"           → show all items in a vault with spaces in its name
pp @"My Family" github    → search "github" in a vault with spaces

When only one vault exists, typing pp @ automatically selects it.

Item details

When a single item matches, the plugin shows its details:

Field	Icon	Action
Email	envelope	Copy to clipboard
Username	person	Copy to clipboard
Password	key (masked as ****)	Copy to clipboard
TOTP	key	Copy to clipboard (auto-refreshes every second)
URL	link	Open in browser
Extra fields	key	Copy to clipboard

Keyboard shortcuts

• Enter on a login → show detail / copy
• Esc → go back / close

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Default vault	Personal	Vault searched when no @ prefix is used
Max results	10	Maximum number of results shown per query
Keep Flow Launcher open	On	Stay open after copying a field or opening a URL (useful for copying username + password in sequence)

Settings can be changed via Flow Launcher's settings panel for this plugin.

CLI Dependencies

This plugin relies on pass-cli from Proton. The following commands are used:

Command	Purpose
pass-cli test	Check authentication
pass-cli vault list --output json	List all vaults
pass-cli item list "<vault>" --output json	List items in a vault
pass-cli item view --output json --item-id <id> --share-id <shareId>	View item details

Troubleshooting

"Not authenticated" message

Run pass-cli login in a terminal to authenticate, then try again.

Clipboard errors

If you see a clipboard error, another application may be holding the clipboard. Try again or close the competing application.

Vault not found

If @VaultName returns no results, check the exact vault name. Use pp @ to see all available vaults.

Cache is outdated

Click the "Refresh Proton Pass Cache" result (shown at the top when pp is typed with no query) to re-fetch all items.
