Password manager I haven't seen discussed

I’ve been using Keepass for about two years now but I’m looking to switch. The downside to this has been that absolutely nothing seems comparable in terms of security.

Initially I used Strongbox but they sold to a crappy company. Keepassium is solid on iOS but the desktop version is just a mobile port and leaves much to be desired.

Combine that with finding sync to be extremely annoying. Limitations around attachments because larger Keepass files are more of a pain to sync. And it really feels like the structure is just a bit chaotic. Custom fields _are_ nice to have but they also feel like I’m just bolting on random information to my entries. Really, I just don’t jive with “the Keepass way”.

In terms of clients, I like to avoid Electron or anything which is just a desktop wrapper around a website. This puts tools like Bitwarden pretty low on my list.

While searching I came upon Codebook[0]. It does _not_ meet the requirement to be a recommendation on PG but my preferences/requirements are a little bit different.

A few cons from my end:

* Not OSS

* Does not use Argon2 for KDF (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 @ 256k)

* No audit

* Limited feature set

However, what keeps me considering this is that it is the same org the develops SQLCipher. Signal uses it as their local message database. It is, AFAICT, a highly reputable piece of software. Additionally, they support third-party sync although I would probably use first-party because I am so tired of fighting sync problems.

Does anyone have experience with this tool or am I missing some obvious flaw with it that makes it a bad choice - on par with choosing something like LastPass.
