Fourth time review and gone . . .
update 10/04/2022
-------------------
This is my third time updating of my review. 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.

Favorite App 😢
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.

MAKE IT OPEN SOURCE??? 🔓📖
Great App! Sad to see it come to an end.
Can you make it open source so that others can keep it alive?

Short “Lifetime”
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.

was good
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
Scam
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?
Purchase Lifetime License - For What?
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.
Very Good
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!

Best simple password manager
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!

Minimalist, you will be missed.
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.

Superb PW manager
This app feels like the password manager that Apple wanted to make, but didn’t for some reason. Its feature set is perfect, its design is clean, and its word-based password generator is the best I’ve seen.
Will re-review
I gave them a bad review before because they didnt have a lifetime option. Seems they have come to their senses and done a one time fee. I will re-try it again and re-eval. Thanks minimalist for ditching that subscription way.
A joy to use!
I had been looking for a replacement password manager following many years as a 1Password user. I was attracted to Minimalist via the developer’s excellent website where he details the many advantages of using Apple’s native app technologies in order to build an intuitive, fast and secure product.
An extensive test convinced me that the app met fully all of the claims made by the developer.
This password manager has been professionally built for Apple users and it is exactly what I had been looking for. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to others.

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.
June 4 2024. Bought another up-sell so editing works. One-time purchase, they say, just like the last one.

Goodbye to 1Password
Have used 1Password for years as a stand alone app. Tried to upgrade so I could use it on Silicon. Words cannot describe how aggravating and time consuming that was. Hours and hours of emails back and forth. Done now. Tried Minimalist on the advice of some reviewers. Clean (minimalist) interface. Easy to understand and navigate. Options are clear. Would love to see some "theme" options tho'. I think they've got a winner here and I'll spread the word. The MacBook Pro 14" is very happy with it./ Not sure if I'll have to buy another subscription for one more Mac. A

Clear and effective
Nicely designed to be easy to navigate and still be able to arrange information as needed.
Works Flawlessly
I am thrilled to be using this app and have the ability to share it with family.
The integration with the Mac is a welcome addition over how well this works as a general password manager.
Great work and thank you to the devs!

Great! Really, really great!
I tried using the app after trying pretty much all the competing apps. All I want is a nice, secure list manager for my passwords without all the added bloat that most others seem to think important. This app fills the bill completely! It does what it purports to do and does it in an elegant and unobtrusive manner. Well done, developers!

Awesome
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.

Weird bug in program no stars till fixed
I used to be able to enter my entry password to get to my other passwords with ease. No when I type one number or letter in the password box, it highlights the whole thing and the next key i press wipes it out. not sure if this is a lame security feature or just an annoying way to get me to pay for something.
