This app is perfect: 1. Does what it purports to do.2. Does so without stealing other things behind your back.3. Gives enough away for free that you could use it indefinitely.4. Offers enough premium features that you can upgrade if you want more. 5. Flexible pricing leaves control with user.6. Has decent FAQ documentation(could be expanded, but enough there to answer most questions for most people).7. Doesn’t attempt to lock user into proprietary format, sticks to open source, making it future-proof.8. Sometimes there are syncing/autofill issues. As far as I can tell this is only because it is not a native (Apple keychain) ios application and given the sensitive bature of the application, not too much that can be done here(it has to do what it does on top of the secure enclave and cannot get deep enough permissions to cause security vulnerability there). Could be wrong, but that’s my sense.Great app. You could stick to Keychain, but that leaves a LOT with apple, some redundancy is useful. This was confirmed when, after getting a new device, my keychain key got mysteriously corrupted and with everything being ‘under the hood’, there was no solution even with apple support. Fortunately I had multiple passwords/logins backed up in kdbx (opensource) format courtesy of Strongbox, so pain was minimal. KeepassXC(or ce, whatever macos version is called) is good, but doesn’t come close to Strongbox ease of use. Wish all apps were developed with similar philosophy.Also, I paid in full for lifetime on macos & ios. Don’t know and never interacted with developer and didn’t get a discount or anything else for this review, which is independent. I never leave reviews(I think this is my second in 11+ years) solely done out of appreciation for developer.
Disappointed.

Lifetime subscriber. Extremely disappointed by who the app was sold to. 😞 Need to find a new solution now.
Product reputation suffers with recent sale to Applause.

Trust is broken. This is no longer an independently owned/developed product. There are reports of new owners questionable treatment of newly acquired products.
