I'm making a native macOS password manager for old grumpy people who hate the cloud this month and I'm going to blog about my progress every day. L...

Hi Sean, good luck with your adventure. I recently switched from LastPass to Bitwarden βπΎ
If you don't mind me asking: why cloud-less? Is it about trust?
ps. you might have to disable dark mode down the line to develop a gui, it might affect your choice of palette for the apps. Most people use the default mode
It's about trust yeah, plus why use cloud syncing when you don't need it?
Good tip about the dark mode thing, I'm definitely in the minority there
The advantage of the cloud syncing is that you don't have to do anything and your account is synced on all devices you have your app on. Bluetooth requires the user to initiate the connection. You can't imagine how many times I just put stuff on Dropbox, go out and then access it from my phone.

Totally get that, and there are a lot of password managers, I can think of 5 off the top of my head, that sync over the cloud.
It's just not for me⦠I probably represent a crazy small niche (old grumpy programmers that would rather sync their passwords locally).
ahhaha that's perfectly valid! I just wanted to know why, you've answered quite comprehensively.
Go be that old grumpy programmer, occupying a niche is a great strategy ;-)
Good luck for your project!
Um, #YAS I love this!! Also, I'm really digging your article format.
Hey thanks π I keep experimenting everyday, I think I hit on a really cool format today though
It's a nice project, and good for you to make something yourself; KeePass has all of the features you list. (Go look for KeePassXC though, it's much better). The mobile apps are community though.
