The problem with subscriptions, is there's this promise, (either implied or explicit) that paying a monthly fee means the developer has consistent cash flow to keep improving the product and adding new features.

Maybe it's 1Password 8 you're using. Here's 1Password 7: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1password-password-manager/id568903335
exactly, to justify the subscription they keep stuffing apps with bloat features. Not saying 1PW did this, but its just what the general direction of most subscription apps seem to be.
My issue is the opposite in a weird sort of way. I'm not seeing any features that helps justify the pricing. There's a few nice things they've added don't get me wrong but if they raise the price for existing subscribers, I'll have to take a cold hard look
Honestly I thought $10 a year for Bitwarden was absurdly low. The cost savings wasn't the main motivator for me switching from 1PW. $20 won't make any difference to me. I'm still very happy with Bitwarden. They also finally announced that they're adding the ability to archive unneeded entries, which they should have added a long time ago.
WhatsPass is another KDBX Apple only password manager.
I completely understand your concerns, especially when it comes to a password management app.I’m an independent developer working on this project in my spare time. The motivation behind it was simple: I couldn’t find a KeePass client for macOS that met my standards, so I decided to build one for myself—and share it with others who might feel the same way.While I have extensive programming experience, I lack marketing expertise, and I don’t have the extra time or resources to promote the app. That’s why there’s no official website, no ads, and no reviews. In fact, you won’t even find it through Google—only by searching "keepass" on the App Store and scrolling several pages down might you stumble upon it.It’s a paid app, but not a commercial project—which might sound contradictory. It’s entirely offline, with no internet requests whatsoever. Beyond that, I have no way to "prove" its trustworthiness to you.
