Started with 3 stars and now I have no choice but to give 5 stars. Man .... cannot believe my eyes. Whenever I update my review, they updated their reply and answered all question. I have started to use Mac since 2007 and this is my first time seeing this kind of developer who really focus on their users and ease the worries. Base on my experience, if you like to use this app I truly belive you will like it very much like me. Thanks again for all answers ! ----------------------------- Original Review --------------- To be honest I really like the app but there is a huge BUT.. The first one is this is only to iOS and there is no way I can use it on Andriod or Windows. Second but is as we all know there are plenty of application on app store and around the world for mac. Only few apps are keep updating and fixing errors. So I am still not sure whether the Paid version will worth. Do not see any gruntee how long will this app will support. Hope it is not like other app which fail to continue in a short time. ------------------------------ Update review on 27March,2022 --------------------------------- I paid for the service. But today I am haivng an issue with this app. Now apple service is down which include iCloud. I just reinstalled my macOS and install reinstall Minimalist. But when I open the applicaiton, it asked me to recreate a new password wich mean new database. So becareful. Seems like my previous database will be override when you open the app as a first time when iCloud is down. ### 5/5 — Favorite App 😢 *2026-01-11, version 3.7.1* It may sound strange, for a password manager, but this is one of my favorite apps. I hate to see it go. A change I’m requesting is the ability to dismiss the All Good Things banner from the main list. I don’t need the reminder 😭 The developer has always been responsive and friendly to my messages. I’m interested in his future software. ### 5/5 — MAKE IT OPEN SOURCE??? 🔓📖 *2025-12-30, version 3.7.1* Great App! Sad to see it come to an end. Can you make it open source so that others can keep it alive? ### 3/5 — Short “Lifetime” *2025-11-05, version 3.7* Wow, now I’m kind of regretting the decision to purchase the “lifetime” subscription! This app showed such promise, and it seemed like a really good deal at the time, but I guess that’s the risk you take. So sorry to see this app go down as yet another example of how a better idea isn’t always enough to unseat the established powerhouses. ### 3/5 — was good *2025-10-22, version 3.7* Took them a long time to do a one time subscription fee and it was high. Now they are out of business. Lesson learned. the app was great but pricing was greedy. Price it cheap and masses will use it. Then you can add features and hire a huge dev team ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-08, version 3.7* It was a good app with a developer who seemed to update the app on a regular basis but for some reason I feel that I have been scammed , I bought a lifetime license and that lifetime was really short! Refund? ### 5/5 — Purchase Lifetime License - For What? *2025-10-06, version 3.7* Well I purchased a lifetime license for about $90 as I recall, and now I think, FOR WHAT? I guess they will change the name and release a new version with a new name. Sorry you guys couldn’t figure it out. ### 5/5 — Very Good *2025-10-06, version 3.7* Too bad this app is ending support. But with Apple Passwords out now, it makes sense, and I’ve mostly switched over to Apple’s app. Minimalist was my favorite password manager for a few years. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best simple password manager *2025-10-03, version 3.7* This password manager is truly excellent. Simple, does just what you need and no more. It’s been super affordable too. But, sadly, that means it may have to cease development next year. Get in there and support these guys. Buy it! ### 5/5 — Minimalist, you will be missed. *2025-10-01, version 3.7* I’m so sad to see this app go. It was by far the best password manager. I will likely be using Apple Passwords as a replacement due to its simplicity, but it doesn’t allow the extra fields and attachments. Thanks for the great work while it lasted. Paraphrasing Heraclitus: the only constant in life is change. ## Frequently asked questions about Minimalist Password Manager ### What is this app?

Today's update includes a few new features and fixes for a few bugs. Let's discuss! • We've updated the Minimalist app icon to fully support the new dark, clear, and tinted modes available on the latest platforms. It's a small change, but it really makes Minimalist feel at home! • We've updated Minimalist AutoFill to support auto-filling of One-Time Passwords on supported devices, so you'll no longer have to muck about with manually copy-pasting 2FA codes! Please note the "on supported devices" disclaimer above as unfortunately not all devices seem to be supported at the moment. That being said, we're sure support for the remaining devices will be added in the not-to-distant future! • We've updated the Minimalist AutoFill setup instructions to reflect changes in the latest versions of each platform. • We've added the ability to export your Minimalist data to a plain text file. Over the years we've heard from many people asking how they can print a copy of their Minimalist data for safe keeping in the "real" world. Well now you can! Simply export to a text file, open the file in a text editor of your choice, and hit print! Just be sure to delete the text file once you're done! • We've fixed an issue which could prevent Unlock with Apple Watch from working under certain circumstances. • We've updated the authentication screen to no longer raise the Minimalist icon during authentication with Face ID or Touch ID as it often didn't make sense on newer devices. That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come! ### 3.5.1 — 2024-06-28 Hello everyone and thanks for all the feedback sent in over the last few weeks! Today's update adds a few features and fixes a few bugs. Let's discuss! • We've added support for Apple's "Set Up Verification Code" feature which allows you to easily setup one-time passwords in Minimalist by right-clicking or long-pressing verification code setup links or QR codes in Safari. See setup instructions under Settings -> Minimalist AutoFill. Special thanks to Michael B. for nudging us to get it done. • You can now change the category of multiple items at once thanks to the new Change Category menu option. Simply select one or more items in the list, right-click the selected items, and select the new category you'd like applied. Special thanks to Herman B. for the suggestion. • We've updated custom multiline text fields to allow for selection of text, URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, physical address, etc. Unfortunately we had to remove the "copy" quick-action in order to do it. Please let us know if this is a problem for you and we can come up with another solution. Special thanks to Feek for the suggestion. • We've fixed an issue with the importer where 1pux files were not always selectable. Now they are! Special thanks to Goran V. for the report. • We've added import support for Secrets SPEF and XML files. Great! That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come! ### 3.5 — 2024-04-26 A major competitor, whom may remain nameless, has asked us to change our logo on account of its vague similarity to their own. Apparently they are worried their customers will mistake Minimalist for a simpler version of their own product and make the switch. Imagine that! While we disagree entirely with the assertion that anyone would confuse Minimalist with another product, we also have no desire to engage in an expensive court battle with one of the largest password manager makers in the space. Instead we are taking this opportunity to remember exactly why we created Minimalist is the first place; to be a better password manager company! So today we are announcing three major changes to help us get back to our roots: 1. A bold new logo! We have designed a bold new logo which uniquely identifies Minimalist amongst the countless competitors out there. And given that you’ll be looking at this logo on your home screens everyday, we want your input. Please send all feedback, ideas, and/or alternative designs to hello@minimalistpassword.com . 2. Return of the one-time purchase! While we strongly believe that reasonably priced subscriptions are key to building a sustainable software business on the App Store, we also sympathize with everyone out there who simply can't stand subscriptions! So starting today we are reinstating the one-time purchase option. You can now get one step closer to ridding your digital life of subscriptions, once and for all! 3. All purchases are now family purchases! We share everything with our families. Love and laughter, food and vacations, income and expenses. Everything. That's why we've enabled Apple Family Sharing on all Minimalist purchases; past, present and future! No matter how you purchase / purchased Minimalist, your purchase can now be shared with up to five family members via Apple's Family Sharing. That's our update for today, but stay tuned because there is more to come! ## Apps similar to Minimalist Password Manager | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Password Manager ®](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/password-manager/id1522422248) | 4.4 (76) | Free | Productivity | | [RoboForm Password Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/roboform-password-manager/id331787573) | 4.7 (47,975) | Free | Productivity | | [Password Manager iPassSafe+](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/password-manager-ipasssafe-plus/id424715194) | 4.4 (573) | $12.99 | Productivity | | [Password Manager iPassSafe](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/password-manager-ipasssafe/id413222686) | 4.3 (789) | Free | Productivity | | [Password Manager iPassSafe .](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/password-manager-ipasssafe/id410824816) | 4.5 (698) | $7.99 | Productivity | | [Sticky Password Manager & Safe](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sticky-password-manager-and-safe/id439243516) | 4.7 (1,512) | Free | Productivity | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
