After years of working on Strongbox independently, Mark McGuill has made the decision to entrust the future of this exceptional product to our […]

Strongbox a very well made macOS/iOS Keepass frontend was sold to Applause.

They don’t have the best reputation and are seated in NYC.

        My iPhone is my work phone that I may use for personal things - but I like to keep work and private life separated.

        I only had Strongbox on it, so that I can easily login on apps like Netflix and such, but on reality - once you’re logged in, you’re in and don’t need your password until you switch devices or do a factory reset. So… In the end I lost some comfort and now need to type personal passwords by hand on my work phone once in a blue moon. But I don’t mind, considering the trust problem with this app now…

    Hmmmm, a password manager being sold feels like it burns through any trust that has been built. This new owner doesn’t get to demand our trust, it has to be built up.

    It’s a real shame because it’s a very good application.

    Biggest concern for me is probably how expensive this app is - Strongbox Pro is £80 (it was £34 when I bought it in 2021) so there is a lot of incentive to get more buyers and limited incentive to keep your current customers happy.
