Eh. Bitwarden is better in that way, but not by much. It’s honestly not that bad if you just sync the keepass DB somewhere. Whether that’s cloud or syncthing.
Bitwarden’s apps are where it’s a better experience. But there’s still somethings about the apps that are very lacking. Like not being able to sort entries.
I easily sync my keepass db across 5-6 devices.
I use KeePass on like… I dunno 5-6 devices? They all sync together via Syncthing. No server needed. My keepass db is just one of the things synced this way.
Works pretty well.
These are the apps I use:
Desktop (Linux & macOS): KeePassXC Andrdoid: KeePassDX iOS: KeePassium
The whole ecosystem can be used for free. But like… tip your open source devs yo.
Syncing happens pretty quickly with Syncthing. So conflicts in the keepass DBs are very rare (maybe once a year if I’m impatient after a change on a different device). But they do happen, I’ll give you that. Some restraint (wait for sync) and checking (this is where sorting by modified helps!!!) what’s the latest change helps.
You can’t fathom why someone would want to… sort a list…?
I don’t know how to answer this. I think you’re serious, but I can’t tell. Want to read that community post I linked where over 600+ people voted for the sorting ability?
Use Tailscale. Don’t expose the port to the public. You’re good to go. On iOS, the Tailscale app allows for on demand joining of your Tailscale network (when you’re off from your home network for example). This makes it easy. On Android it’s not as direct, can use Tasker to achieve this, it’s not great. But there’s a feature request on their repo too.
Alternatively, there’s Netbird which behaves similarly. I haven’t tried it, but have read good things about it.
Neither are US based as well if that’s a concern for you. Tailscale is Canadian, and Netbird is German. Netbird is completely open source. With Tailscale, the CLI and Android apps are open source, and there’s an open source alternative to the control server called Headscale. But honestly, using their free tier is probably enough (for both services).
Lol for years I have been wanting to switch from KeePass to Bitwarden. Mainly cause the UX/UI felt nice to me.
My initial hesitance was that I didn’t love the idea of my passwords being on someone else’s servers. But I found out about Vaultwarden. So I kept my eye on it’s development and longevity. Now that it’s well established, I’d say I trust it now. Next I figured out a way to selfhost without exposing Vaultwarden to the public. Everything seems to be lined up for me to switch.
A few months ago, I decided it was time. After moving my passwords over and getting a flow working, I went to sort by most recent… Oh wait. You can’t sort by date. You can’t sort lol I sat with this for a few hours and reverted back to my trusted and working KeePass flow.
EDIT: This is one of the most voted feature requests. Also, it’s just table stakes! It’s crazy they don’t have this feature 😂

Really need it to do Cantonese. That’s the only thing keeping me on Google Translate 😓

It is open source. You can even run the server yourself. You’ll probably need to build the android app pointed at your server URL. It requires a bit of technical chops. But it’s doable if you truly wanted your own stack.

What web browser are you using in the screenshot? Kind of looks like a flavour of FF but I’ve never seen tabs in the address bar like that before.
I use an Apple Magic Trackpad on KDE and it works great. My only problem is that customizing the touch gestures is not well supported. Unsure if it’s any better on Gnome or COSMIC Desktop.
I bought one of these a while back but could never get it working. Skill issue probably 😅 I’ll try it out again!
Does anyone have a suggestion for something that can be used with a remote? AndroidTV boxes don’t seem to be a consistent thing anymore beyond NVIDIA shields…

It’s the revived Mull browser.
For sure. It’s good to know. But not a huge compromise considering we are talking about still using a flavour of Android and play services.
Ah. They have a lot thats open. And I believe if you run Headscale (and android and/or Linux clients), you can be fully open source.
I’ve just switched from an iPhone 12 Pro to Pixel 9 and am on GrapheneOS now. Aside from Signal chat history, everything switched over quite easily. Sandboxed google play services is simply an amazing feature. Rerouting location requests let’s me feel a certain level of trust when I use Google Maps now. There are a tonne of little quality of life features too that I don’t remember if base Android had back when I used it before; e.g. setting the default language for a specific application.
For using Immich without exposing it to the public, check out Tailscale. It’s a private VPN (wireguard) service (it’s partially opensource and provides paid tiers, but the free tier is all you’ll need; there’s an open source server called Headscale, if you need full open source) you can use on your home network that is dead simple to configure. You literally just login on you computer and your phone.

Oh neat. Termux:Styling let’s me change fonts. And Fira Code, has support for nerd fonts! Thanks again for the recommendation, you saved me a butt load of time 😍
If you use Tailscale or Netbird, you can avoid exposing your VPS to the internet completely.
