I have been using Pass [0] with passff [1] and been pretty happy about it. Simple and offline password management where passwords live in gpg encrypted files. Additional features I like are tracking changes with git, bash completion and copying passwords to clipboard for few seconds temporarily, and a few very useful extensions.

Another pass user here. Simple and understandable, two strong positives for that type of application.
Pass is awesome. I use it in combination with a YubiKey to store the pgp key. Because every password is stored in an independent encrypted file and every decryption needs a press on the YubiKey even a stolen database and keylogger does not provide access to all passwords.
I use pass with keyboard Maestro on the mac it just gets a autofill input for the password I want, them opens a terminal and asks for the master password if needed and puts in the clipboard. Very friendly way to use it.
Pass ist definitely not as polished, but it's so dead simple, just a thin wrapper over gpg and git.
