What would be a good application that I could use on my Mac to open and edit KeePass 2 .KDBX files?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case,.kdbx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. About KDBX Files.

It's a native OS X app and it opens my KDBX 2 file just fine, worth a try.

I tried KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6 released and it seems to be stable enough to use. Still be careful not to loose any important data.
- Supports .kdb format
- Still in development.
- Lots of potential!
P.S. Thanks to @DanteTheEgregore for sharing about KeePassX 2.0
KeePassX 2.0 is currently in alpha and features .kdbx support. It appears the last version (alpha 5) was released December 5th, 2013. Presumably that's why KeePassX 1.0 hasn't seen updates in quite a while. – DanteTheEgregore Mar 19 at 1:31

KeePassX supports only .kdb and not the newer .kdbx format, however, as per their faq
you can create an export in KeePass 1.x database format (.kdb) from KeePass 2.x, which KeePassX can read (and use as the native password database).
