✘ There’s no official KeePass for Android or KeePass for iPhone.

So even though some people prefer the “look and feel” of KeePassX on Mac and Linux, KeePass has some serious advantages over KeePassX. This means that KeePassX looks and behaves like other Mac and Linux apps. Qt allows developers to create new user-interfaces for apps without changing the underlying code, so they can run “natively” across different platforms.

KeePassX uses the “Qt” software toolkit.

As a result, some users find that KeePass feels “alien” when running on these platforms - it’s like a Windows app is being forced to run in the wrong environment. KeePass uses the “Mono” framework. Mono allows Windows apps to run on Mac and Linux.So does this make KeePassX obsolete? Not quite. There’s a difference in how these two applications operate. KeePass used to be Windows-only, but it now also runs on Mac and Linux. The main difference between KeePass and KeePassX is that KeePassX is designed to run on Mac and Linux.

I used a natty paper notebook for years and in fact I borrowed this method from my mother who seems to feel guilty that she writes this stuff down but I try and reassure her that its ok.
