This is great and I'm looking forward to this but:

Exclusively made for Apple devices: the mac and the iPhone

Many of us have more than just Apple devices. This exclusivity makes it difficult to migrate.

Hmm, it does. Here's where I'm coming from.

There are so many cross platform password managers, even open source ones like keepass and bitwarden.

I have to carve a niche out for myself here or no one will care. What's that saying? "If you build something for everyone, it works for no one."

I decided to make this for people like me

  • people who are not interested in syncing their passwords over the cloud
  • people who are interested in having a password manager written in platform-specific SDKs, not electron
  • people who don't want to pay a subscription

MY PEOPLE! āœŠ

That's totally fair and I agree with that :)
