Buttercup is an open-source password manager, available on all major platforms. It helps you track and store your login information for any service you use - personal or for work - in a securely encrypted vault that you store where you want.

Buttercup vaults contain groups and entries so that you can easily manage your login credentials. There’s also a desktop application and browser extension available, so you can access your vaults and credentials on every platform you use.

All information stored within Buttercup vaults is private and encrypted - available only to those with your master password. Keep this password secret and don’t use it for any other login! Once you have your login details stored within Buttercup, you can concentrate on remembering only the 1 password (for Buttercup) - all other passwords can be long, gibberish text to increase security, and you don’t have to remember them!

Great password manager, i love that it works both with local files and also has cloud integration, its able to be self-hosted via nextcloud (or other webdav-compatible servers) or you can use google drive or dropbox for cloud. Great flexibility, great features, great UI, highly recommend.

The desktop experience is really good 💯. But the mobile app experience is really bad 🅾️ because the autofill doesn't work in any browser . If it gets fixed it would be a really great cross platform password manager.

This does not work as I expected it from my experience with the desktop app. I can't import local .bcup files and the files/directories created by the app are in a different format, undetectable by file managers. 👎 Disappointing state, hope it will improve.
