I wrote a similar password manager (without knowing that pass already exists): https://github.com/snoack/mypass

But I ended up storing everything into one single encrypted file, rather than having one file per password. Though I see the point about the UNIX philosophy (i.e. "everything is a file"), but that way you'd leak information, i.e. what the passwords stored are for.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any feedback on mypass.

You miss the point. Having multiple files is not a matter of Unix philosophy. Pass works with GPG keys... Multiple of them! The pass repository is to be shared among your team, so every file can be encrypted for a different, specific set of keys/users.
