What it does
OTPClient is a GTK-based desktop application for managing TOTP and HOTP tokens in encrypted local databases, with a command-line interface.
OTPClient is useful when a local desktop token database fits better than a phone-centered app. Its README describes several import formats, QR handling and multiple databases. Use the instructions for the installed release: the main-branch README explicitly warns that it may describe newer features. Review imports for duplicates and keep the source collection until migration is confirmed. Command-line and desktop-search access should be considered alongside the workstation's own access controls.
