• Strongbox

  64 1,271 5.8 Objective-C

  A KeePass/Password Safe Client for iOS and OS X

  

StrongBox (a Keepass DB implementation) Pros: Very active customer support on r/strongbox Open source Self-host via WebDav or from several different cloud providers (If my server needs to be taken down for a long time, I could easily switch SB to look at one of the cloud providers if the server keeps the two files synced). Support for offline editing (Pro only, otherwise readonly). Can also manually toggle into Offline Mode. One-time purchase for Pro desktop and one for mobile Some pre-defined templates Wide device support Cons: UI is a bit cluttered Manual grouping only No custom templates, but was able to quickly get multiple responses from a customer rep who said it was on their timeline for the next 6-12mos. For reference, offline editing was a large project that was one of their major achievements in 2021, so I definitely believe them when they say something big is on the horizon.
