Then three months ago released another branch called “Strongbox Zero (Local Only Database)”. My concern is this: The current release for the original app is now at 1.54.3 and the 2 branch versions are at 1.54.5 . Seeing that updates are trailing for this, the original product, and not for the newer branches is setting off a “Sunset Version” alarm in my mind. I will leave this review at three stars for now and will update based upon the developers response (or lack thereof). ### 1/5 — very bad *2026-08-09* How dare you guys to charge people such a high price for this rubbish app. even need to pay for downloading icons, what the heck! And Real bad ui ### 5/5 — Best KeePass Alternative *2026-08-08, version 1.65.0* This feels like the best version of a KeePass alternative on the Mac. I tried the others and this was the one that was best overall package. ### 3/5 — Capable app *2026-08-03, version 1.65.0* Capable app with well designed UI although the free version spams with self promotion and the pro version is too expensive if you don’t need any of the advanced features. Seems to have lost its ability to read my files in Dropbox via files - was working great now it’s got some weirdly cached copy after an iOS upgrade ### 4/5 — Almost Awesome *2026-07-31, version 1.65.0* Checks all the boxes for an off-cloud password-manager which synchronizes between devices (all offline on local network). Would have rated it 5 stars EXCEPT it has this very irritating issue where it constantly loses track that I’ve purchased the Pro version (required for syncing) and refuses to sync. Restoring the license always fails on first try. Fortunately, it works on second try. But I’m growing weary of telling it over and over and over that I have a Pro License when it forgets and refuses to sync. ### 5/5 — Продолбало мой пароль *2026-07-29* Точно помню, как вбил, по итогу — ничего нет. Спасибо. Либо не смогло сохранить, либо такой ux, что решило, что можно молча не сохранить явно вбитый пароль ### 5/5 — All you need! *2026-07-28, version 1.65.0* This is an amazing password manager, it works exactly like Keepass, but bringing more features up it sleeve and thanks to it minimalist design it’s such an ease to navigate through the app. Especially once you categorise your passwords. ### 1/5 — Nagware *2026-07-17, version 1.65.0* Constant nags. New version forces you to sign up for a trial in order to activate on first install. Keepassium is less trash. ### 5/5 — 3 years good so far *2026-07-15, version 1.65.0* No issues, syncs well between devices ## Frequently asked questions about Strongbox ### How secure is Strongbox?
