KeePassXC + syncthing to sync the database file has been a solid combo of secret storage across all my devices, even Android phones. It's been working perfectly for 5 years now.
I have the same setup. One question, is there a Syncthing solution for iOS devices?
If I'm a happy KeePass user, and everything just works, is there any reason to switch to KeePassXC?
Edit: Looks like KeePassXC doesn't support plugins, and I hadn't noticed :/

It does have downsides, mostly around Syncthing: it's a bit of a battery hog and there's no iOS app. If either one of those ever becomes enough of a problem for me I can just switch it out for one of the more normal cloud storage providers though.

This is a pretty good point, even if i'm of the opposite opinion! To me, KeePass is wonderfully boring and usable, much like spreadsheet software (e.…

Edit to add:
There is Möbius Sync [0] but I didn't have much success with it. It did work but not quite the way I wanted so eventually I just deleted it.
On Reddit [1] people suggest all sorts of workarounds using other sync tools, like iCloud or NextCloud. Not ideal.
