Anyone considering pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/)? It is written in bash and uses gpg to store credetials on disk. And it is developed by the same guy behind wireguard. Also completely FOSS. On iOS I use passforios (https://github.com/mssun/passforios) and on macOS I am the developer of Pass for macOS (https://github.com/adur1990/Pass-for-macOS) which is a wrapoer for pass containing a Safari extension. Sync across devices is done using git (or cloud drives if you prefer). I use this setup for multiple years now and it works really well.

My problem with passwordstore is that it's just not convenient to add passwords (via browser).

With Bitwarden or KeepassXC the extension offers to store the login data when I sign up or use one login for a first time.

With pass i have to do it manually which isn't hard or does take long, but it's still additional work.

I ended up using KeepassXc with keepmenu[0] as a script for roffi/demnu

I also use this, and with the android app on f-droid (requires that you install a GPG app though).

I sync it with a private gitlab repo and it's been working great for years.

I was(am) a happy user until once I need to grep..
