KeePassDX

Overview

KeePassDX is a native Android client for the KeePass file format, meaning it reads and writes the exact same .kdbx database that KeePassXC uses on desktop — genuinely useful if you already sync your vault via your own cloud drive or Syncthing rather than trusting a hosted password manager. It supports the modern AES, ChaCha20, and Argon2 algorithms and biometric unlock.

The optional paid tier only unlocks cosmetic themes; every security feature is identical across the free and paid versions, which is a refreshing thing to be able to say about a password manager.
