Personally I like that macOS and Windows apps are different. Those are two different platforms, with their own design paradigms, human interface guidelines, etc. They should have different versions, tailored specifically for the OS they're running on. I don't like apps, usually Electron- or something like that-based, that are exactly the same on all platforms, because they feel out of place on all of them, IMHO.

Thats fine and all but there's some things the windows app just doesn't do or do well at all compared to mac. Searching is one of them, along with being able to use 1pass x with the desktop app for auth.

I'm just amazed that they have so many employees yet their window and browser apps are still really lacking.

Side nitpick: it's annoying that they're moving to 1Password X. I really don't want to run the desktop app AND an independent version in my browser. It's not as bad on mac since it can communicate with the desktop app to unlock, but on windows... ugh.

Well they're lacking an entire platform (Linux), so it's not even just about differences in polish.

I use the desktop app and browser companion extension on both Mac and Windows. AFAIK, it's not going anywhere, even though they are promoting 1PasswordX pretty heavily.

I know they're keeping it around but when you ask for a feature/bug report they push over to 1pass x, pretty defensively too.

Yep understood and I agree with most of that. It's been a gripe of mine for a while but I went back now and compared the two and the Windows one, IMHO, is much improved.

Certainly thankful in any case that there is a Windows version and I don't have to manually transcribe from my phone.
