Minimalist Password Manager

What does it mean when you replace your password manager after 14 -yes, fourteen- years? What makes you abandon a familiar workflow after all this time? Maybe that the new app does things better? Faster? Maybe that it’s lighter? That it’s universal? Shareable among your family? With clear payment options? Does it do the things it’s supposed to, without the clutter all the other managers have nowadays? I tried them all. You know which apps I’m referring to. And you can tell what my password manager of 14 years was. How about security? Yes, I trust Apple and iCloud, and that’s the only place I want my password manager to store my data. Good? Good. Also, does this new app use Apple’s built-in APIs to autofill my passwords, instead of extensions? Cool. Is it targeted to people? Not companies and organizations; people like you and me? For fast, efficient, every day use? Bingo. Do the creators maintain an open channel with me/us? Do they listen? Are they willing to review their original decisions and give me the option to do things my way in their app? Even if they don’t fully get my ways? Hallelujah. Do they implement things their community ask for? Is support available as fast as possible, what with the different time-zones, etc? Are you guys seeing it? What more do I have to say to make you buy this app? — Congrats, team! Thank you for this app, thanks for listening, thanks for implementing the things we ask for, thanks for evolving the app but staying true to its name! (Also, thanks for the shoutout!

That’s such an amazing product! I was very disappointed when you removed the one-time payment as I didn’t buy it back then. I'm so glad I haven't deleted the program and noticed your recent update regarding logo change. Anyway, just to make the long story short - I’ve bought the one-time option to support you and eventually migrate from that major competitor to your product.

This was a really promising password manager; but with the switch to a subscription only service, and the fact that it hasn’t been updated in 7 months, I can no longer recommend this app, and I’m honestly wondering if it has become abandonware.

The developers straight up lie and gaslight people by saying “lifetime is and always was a completely unsustainable business model” and yet that’s how software has worked for the majority of its existence. Get Strongbox, has a one-time payment and developers who are sociopathic in their greed, because you should never trust your private information with people who are not honest and won’t let you own the product.

I installed this app on my iPhone and Mac. I was really excited for a real native 1password alternative. I added some logins I routinely use. The auto fill setup was easy, but it simply didn’t fill in safari on the mac or on my iPhone. I sent a video to the developer showing the issue. If the developer fixes it, I’ll change my review but until then I can’t recommend this app.

Have been a Minimalist user for two years now. Previously, I have used LastPass, Bitwarden, MSecure, KeePass, and others. So far, Minimalist is the overall winner in my book. Pros: ONE time purchase of license. I am SOO sick of the "subscription" model all these other services sneak in after you've already paid for something. True minimalist design. We don't need fancy schmancy glitzy UI's for something with such a singular mission as a password manager. Development team that truly listens to its customer base. No reported security breaches as of 2023. Looking at YOU LastPass. Cons: - Only works in the Apple/iCloud ecosystem.

It is nice to find software that feels right at home in the Apple ecosystem.

After my previous password manager went to a subscription model, I moved to Minimalist. It does everything I need, doesn't require a periodic payment. I am very pleased iwth Minimalist

Confusing. Formatting instructions unclear. Lately there have been repeated up-sells to prevent being limited to 10 edits, (whatever that means.) Password broke after trying to follow instructions to remove the upsell (which returned). Fortunately, there is a setting allowing permanently unlocking with face ID.

There are whole lot of password managers out there. Most of them are chock full of pointless features and have abysmal UIs. Despite its name, Minimalist has almost all of the features an Apple user would need (still waiting on icons!), and it does so in an interface that's refreshingly human.
