Currently running KeePassX. Maybe I'll give this a whirl. The key concept with the KeePass family of projects is that your passwords remain on your device, and don't get synced to some cloud you have no control over.

I switched to KeePassXC because KeePassX had a bug where you could silently lose data if you made changes to the notes section of an entry and hit `Esc` without remembering to save.

KeePassX won't prompt you at all and silently drops all those changes, whereas KeePassXC will ask what to do.

KeePassXC also seems to immediately save changes upon adding new entries whereas KeePassX requires an explicit <ctrl-s>.

I moved from KeepPassX to XC recently. It has the same features but the user interface is so much better.

The android app is great too. I use rclone to sync my keepass file to Google Drive which means it is always up to date on my phone too

Android app? Which one?
Keepass2Android is what I've used.
That is what I'm using too
Same! If you haven't already, please consider Patreon or just donating to the dev directly. We use his app constantly and it's great to support him!
KeePassDX has a much more modern UI. Also open source

> KeePassDX has a much more modern UI.

Is that supposed to be an endorsement or a warning?

I like the app and use it due to it being offline + a smooth UI. No clunky like the rest, even though they are great too.

Your choice. It was an endorsement.

I used KeePassDroid for a long time, but recently switched to KeePassDX, and love it.
