What does this offer over other local-first password managers? For example, there are a fair few Android/iOS apps based on KeePass (I currently use https://www.keepassdx.com on my Android phone).

How this solves sync seems useful. If you use Google Drive and KeePass clients you will probably run into conflicts between keepass "safe save" and how google drive does file versioning, resulting in runaway duplication of your kdbx files. I started using Syncthing and KeePass. File version conflicts are rare but still happen. Including sync in the app seems like a good idea.

It would be good to see screenshots of Bramble. The "sprawl of plugins and forks" in KeePass is why I use it. Many of the KeePass clients have modern UI's. I'll think about switching to Bramble when the sprawl begins.

The Keepass options for browser autofill are pretty rough, and don't work with flatpak installed apps either.

Keepass also can't match URLs with Regex which is something I make use of in bitwarden.
