Android-Password-Store VS Joplin

There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git.

For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

For Windows the only thing (Pass4Win) i found is unmaintained.

See https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

These are the types of applications that I really love. It stores the data in a cloud service that already has enough free capacity for say a notes app. It's like how we can store pass(1) passwords on a git repository (Sync it with Github) and use that as the destination of Android Password Store[1], and you have a easy password manager.

Password manager -Android-password-store (client for pass)

Since I store most of my passwords using https://www.passwordstore.org/, I have used mobile with https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S.... I'm happy enough with it. Sucks for getting anything into consoles, for obvious reasons.

I use Password Store.

That's the exact setup I use on my main phone. There's also https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S..., which I use on throwaway phones.

The pass command makes this significantly easier:

There's even a decent Android client:

There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
