Use KeePass and its variants, for storing the encrypted data in a local file. Use any of the file sync products to sync the file across devices, e.g. Dropbox, Syncthing, etc.

Syncthing Android app has been discontinued too this week.

Not having a built-in syncing mechanism is the #1 reson I'm looking to move away from KeepassXC as soon as possible. Making users kludge together their own makeshift sync methods using file shares and dropbox is honestly comical when syncing is probably one of the main features people think of when talking about password managers.
You give up control of your important file to a 3rd party who controls the encryption and the storage.

I'd never use anything less than completely open source and self-hostable for this purpose! Which is why I'm having trouble with finding a viable alternative to KeepassXC. I intended to go with Bitwarden+Vaultwarden, but that sounds a lot less appealing now.
