If it was a matter of OS compatibility, I'd certainly be able to do it for iOS or macOS. Security, less so, but with luck there would be others to do that work, if the app had enough users. Surely it would be better than just implicitly trusting some company with a profit motive?

I'm not expecting anyone to do the work for free, by the way. You could still charge money for cloud sync or even app extensions and still keep the main repo open. Maybe the code could be a few revisions behind to incentivize people to pay.

In any case, from looking around, it seems that KeePass and possibly Bitwarden fit this bill.

Bitwarden has been great for me. After going from LastPass to 1Pass to KeePassXC to Bitwarden, I really appreciate the simplicity of a simple browser extension without the requirement for a local client.

Bitwarden just works and checks the boxes for me. I haven't tried it yet, but there is also a fork [1] that allows us to use our own hosting.
