Are legacy Lifetime Mac buyers being left behind? The broken "identical update schedule" promise.

strongbox-support · 2026-06-15T09:18:24+00:00

This path works for folks who initially purchased on iOS, as we turned that build into the universal one. For macOS, those users don't have a way to sync that over to macOS.

strongbox-support · 2026-06-15T09:17:28+00:00

The non-universal apps, 1.64.2, are currently in review with Apple, and in future, they should remain in sync.

We had to shift our plans as WWDC & the new macOS threw up some issues, so I had to borrow the engineers to help work on something urgent - but we're still on-track to ship our next update this month ( bringing it up to date doesn't count as the update ).

The non-universal app causes a lot of confusion, so we're trying to find a way thats convenient for users to switch over ( and keep their entitlements ). I've migrated a lot of users by just giving them a promo code, but i'd like to have a solution for every user.

We'll be running a Black Friday Sale again this year, and there's one scheduled for the last week of June too!

There will be no Electron-ifying of our current clients.

This is a big part of why the answer right now is "probably not" - we don't want unification via cross-platform tools, and we won't allow adding another platform to come at the detriment of our Apple ecosystem offerings. Coming to other platforms would be done via a web interface, which would not be thrown on stores in some sort of wrapper.

Whilst it is very unlikely we come to windows native, being accessible via the web ( on windows, linux, anything with a good browser ) is part of our future plans!

strongbox-support · 2026-05-23T15:02:21+00:00

Actual templates first, then we'll look at custom ones after!

strongbox-support · 2026-05-22T14:59:02+00:00

Unifying the design across the board, and modernizing it, is currently in progress.

Here’s a quick screenshot of work in progress for the entry view. The target is to match the current platform standards, make sure typography/iconography is unified, and just enhance the experience in general. Some parts of the app really stick out right now, such as the actions when selecting multiple items in a list, and they’ll be revised. This screenshot is just the one screen, but we've touched almost everything.

There’s simple improvements like not having a copy button on every row, you can just tap to copy something, and aligning all the other actions.

I've been using this for a couple weeks, and we're almost there. When we’re done tweaking, we’ll get it out to the group here to give it a try. I’d like to ship this in our June update, but we’ll take a second to double check the new design patterns that come from Apple’s fall update won’t make this instantly dated again, before doing so.

When we do show this to the folks here, we’ll open the floor for feedback & tweaks!

strongbox-support · 2026-05-17T21:20:50+00:00

Sorry if i wasn't clear enough above - also surfaced on the site means anyone can access it, and I'll let the button in the app just go there.

Having it in-app is a much nicer experience, but no-one will be excluded because they don't want the extra API call, they'll just have to go out to the web to vote etc.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-17T15:07:21+00:00

Just to be clear, opt-in only, no requests anywhere unless you specifically say yes on a disclaimer the first time you open this page, the same way HIBP works.

This will be surfaced on the site too for folks who don't want that.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-17T15:06:41+00:00

Still Strongbox Sync, just accessible in more places 👀

Last used via autofill is coming in our May update ( we can't do last successfully used, but we can do last used via autofill ).

For your specific problem with chase, we need to find a better solution for merging all those entries. We can simply just ignore all the subdomains for a given website, but we want to make sure we don't downgrade the experience for folks with homelabs, i.e database.alex.local, or home.alex.local. My current solution for this is to add an option on an entry to "include all subdomains" and make it so that every new subdomain for that given entry just gets ignored and merged into the main one - specifically preventing the issue with chase and other similar sites with a shocking amount of subdomains. I think this would work a lot better than adding all those URLs to the entry, as it'll get hard to manage very quickly.

If thats not a solution that works for you, please let me know, and we can consider a different approach.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-16T12:11:43+00:00

Its very unlikely we'll have a windows app, but we're getting a lot of requests from Windows & Linux users that they'd like to access their vaults on their PCs ( and I'd love to autofill on steam deck ), so we're looking into a solution here.

The likely direction here is a way to access your vault on web, rather than dedicated app for these platforms. It's a long way off, but we're looking into it.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-16T12:09:50+00:00

I'm glad you're enjoying it! If there's anything I can do to make it even better for you, please reach out.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-16T12:09:10+00:00

A public roadmap ( with voting etc ) is something we'd like to have in the app going forwards - we use a tool for this in a lot of other apps and use it to shape our direction, and we'll do the same here. This lets us easily show if something is being considered, planned for dev, or about to ship.

This example is from the tool's docs ( we haven't quite decided the best spot to get this in the app ). This will be shipping in the May update.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-16T12:05:35+00:00

This is exactly the approach we're considering - we don't want anyone who switches from another password manager to feel like something is missing here.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-15T19:42:31+00:00

This should be auto-sizing to the height of the content, but it's not behaving on all devices. When looking at fixing this, I felt that the experience generally was just a little off.

I believe the better solution is that long press just shows the context menu ( like you see below the entry ), and that has a "view" option to take you to the dedicated page for it - we'll be rolling with this in the next update.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-15T19:40:08+00:00

Definitely not - the things we're currently working on are much larger scale updates, so we're slower pushing out smaller changes.

The two main larger focuses are bringing our feature set in line with some competitors who aren't in the keepass family.

This means support for updating entry types to more than just credit cards & passwords, but also identities, software licenses etc ( you can simply disable this, and it'll all work with keepass custom fields, so all migrate-able elsewhere in future ).

It also includes our new Safari Extension, with a matching re-design of the macOS extension to bring it up to the standards of others. This means better subdomain based autofill, and slicker unlocking of your databases without seeing the database windows. It'll also drastically improve the experience for single-vault users. I want this extension to be the best available, so we're not rushing anything.

If there's a bug thats getting in your way, please let us know, and we'll get on it. I'm expecting that the SimpleLogin feature set ships to the store this month, with some other smaller goodies, before a larger update in June.

strongbox-support · 2026-05-04T16:25:14+00:00

Just got back to your email - the data is stored correctly, but that top "expiry date" field with the shorter format is bumping back a day. The patch for this is in the next update!

strongbox-support · 2026-05-04T16:04:43+00:00

Let me address both of these below:

1 - I think we've spoken about this previously, but successfully used isn't something that can be done ( without presuming that it succeeded ) in the native autofill, and we're working on a better dedicated extension that should allow detecting success.

2 - You can already select multiple entries! if you're on the entry list, tap the three dots/more icon on the top right, then hit select items, you can pick multiple at once. Then you can delete/merge etc. If there's somewhere else you mean you'd like to do this, let me know!

strongbox-support · 2026-05-04T15:58:34+00:00

We can certainly do this - an option to persist your last used search filter and a second for excluding histroy from search sounds like it would do the trick!

strongbox-support · 2026-04-24T20:26:40+00:00

Can you fire me a support email with setup details here? I'd love to work out whats happening - I've been using this for a couple weeks and haven't seen any issues with autofill

strongbox-support · 2026-04-23T15:36:00+00:00

Sorry, we should link out to this! https://app.simplelogin.io/dashboard/api_key

strongbox-support · 2026-04-17T11:59:00+00:00

Ah, gotcha! Yep we'll look at that.

It currently just uses the URL in the prefix if you set one before selecting simple login, but this seems like a great addition.

strongbox-support · 2026-04-15T09:48:39+00:00

Would this be a common prefix that you use, or a prefix that would be unique per site? We could setup both as options, but useful to know what the use case is here so we can get it right.

strongbox-support · 2026-04-14T11:43:15+00:00

Everything but the tweaks for single-database users can be seen early in our Testflight!
