Just over a year ago, I began to lose some of the drive to continue developing KyPass, one of the oldest KeePass-compatible password managers on the Apple Store. Although this project had been a source of pride and passion for many years, things took a slight turn. Thanks to a free license provided by my employer, I switched to 1Password. This experience gave me a break and allowed me to explore a different solution, gradually stepping away from KyPass.
During this period, the password manager landscape evolved, and KyPass faced new competitors. Unfortunately, some chose to launch unfounded and gratuitous attacks against my project. These criticisms, although unfair, affected me at a time when my motivation was already waning.
However, a few weeks ago, after fully exploring and experiencing 1Password, I realized how much that experience could enhance KyPass. Taking a step back and seeing both the strengths and weaknesses of a competing solution gave me a new sense of inspiration. Armed with this fresh user experience, I’m more motivated than ever to resume development on KyPass.
As one of the longest-standing KeePass-compatible managers on the Apple Store, KyPass is coming back stronger, with new ideas and improvements based on this experience. I’m excited to share this new chapter with you all.
Thank you for your patience and continued support!
