Gotcha. And small world, until recently I worked at the company behind Remembear. Shame it had to be sunset.

I loved that software more than any on my Mac. It just made me happy, the thought that went into the small stuff tickled me.

I'll pass it on to the team! The designers and product people put a ton of work into making both RB and Tunnelbear delightful, and I'm glad it's making a difference :)

Why would you need to run the Dropbox client to sync your passwords? Shouldn't the password manager client be able to talk to the service directly? I don't have an iCloud client installed on my devices (well, other than whatever is built into Apple devices) but Enpass just uses their APIs to sync passwords. Occasionally I have to reauthenticate on one of my machines but it tells me as soon as it loses access. Previou…

It's totally possible, but that sounds like it would cost a lot of development time. The KeePassXC project in particular decided not to implement cloud connectors due to a lack of resources.

I'm not sure why you think this is that difficult of a task. This is standard fare for how clients integrate with a service. There's how many third party Twitter and Reddit clients out there, plenty made by a single person that just communicates with a public API made for integration. You can spin up a Discord bot in a few minutes. Why is this any different for syncing a file over an API?
