Appreciate the feedback.

What do you like about Strongbox's model? Is it the availability of a lifetime plan?

- that

- philiosophy of pick your own cloud service and it implements the syncing and management or just locally if people prefer

- doesn't lock you in + easy export

- implements MarkDown for notes but thats another good feature to fully implement for task notes, like Sorted3

- thing is, if you have anything non-Lifetime, it means it can be taken away at any point or at least eventually. That is unacceptable for anything (much moreso for content as important as people's notes and passwords etc)

- anything where your servers are involved means it requires a middleman which all of this emphatically does not require. That would be a YOU thing and not an US thing (not that youmre saying that but its super important to emphasize how basically done I am with Devs who pull that crap. I dont care if a Dev sells out or quits or whatever [insert dev situation], if I've done my homework I will likely be unaffected or should be unaffected and I just don't update or allow Apple to screw around with offloading apps

- I am free to top up with tips in the sense I can stochastically throw a little scratch Strongbox Mark's way when I'm able to rarely so I can express my appreciation for it

- He's very reponsive and even has his own subreddit! He hasn't become so big you never hear back from him, really just a mattr of time

- KeePass is an amazing format and he has done a mindblowingly amazing job of implementing all of it without the user habing to get dirty with rando plugin and junk

Sorry for the slow reply, this is very helpful - thank you.
No worries, greatness takes time!
