The file syncing, particularly between Android phone and multiple desktop machines, is my biggest worry with this workflow. Will the synced Keepass file get corrupted if I add a new password on the phone and also on desktop, and then later try to merge them?
replyBeen using this setup for many years and never had any problem at all. I sync between desktop and mobile with Syncthing[0]. You can configure Syncthing to do file versioning, it has many options (Trash Can, Simple, Staggered or External file versioning) so if some weird conflict happens you'll never lose data. But honestly, I have never had any issues, and I have been running this setup for many years. So I'm sure I have run into all kind of edge cases and it just works.
replyAs side note, Syncthing is an amazing piece of software. I sync everything for my other devices into a central PC and from there I do the backups.

No, KeepassXC has an option to merge databases, it never caused me any trouble. I have a similar setup to parent commenter.
replyRecently moved to a KeePass setup after 1Password raised their prices. Feels good to be in complete control.
replyThis is my exact plan too, if I ever have to leave the Apple ecosystem.
replyKeePassXC is cross-platform FYI
replyKeePass is such a backwards step in usability and features that I don’t even consider it a competitor. The whole reason I moved to 1Password was to get away from how easy it was to accidentally lose data with the KeePass clients.
replyFor example, one client I used had a temporary bug that just lost the notes field entirely. It was quickly fixed but it still affected me.
I’m currently using 1Password, which I still think is the best product overall as I’ve tried just about all the rest. For this product category I’m happy to pay the highest price to get the best product.
