Minimalist: Password Manager

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few days! Today's update introduces our new Family purchase option, fixes a few annoying bugs, and adds some highly requested keyboard shortcuts. Let's discuss!

• Introducing our new Family purchase option! This option enables Unlimited Editing for up to 6 family members via Apple Family Sharing. Each family member gets their own private Minimalist data, securely synced via their own iCloud account. Learn more about Apple Family Sharing at https://support.apple.com/HT201060 .

• We've fixed an issue which prevented newly added items from being selected in the list, as well as another issue where the incorrect item would be selected in the list after archiving or moving and item to the trash. What can we say, software is hard! Special thanks to Robert B. for pointing these out.

• We've added a few keyboard shortcuts to make navigating Minimalist a little easier. You can now Favorite or Unfavorite selected items with shift-command-F. You can also cancel or "use" a generated password from the password generator popover by typing Esc or Return. We've also prevented command-delete from deleting the selected item while editing, which was admittedly a bug. Special thanks to Robert B. for bringing these to our attention.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few months! Today's update address another round of relatively minor issues which were annoying us to no end. Let's discuss!


• We've reverted the quick-action behavior on touch devices so that a single tap shows the menu rather than triggering the quick-action. Long pressing still shows the menu and allows for drag-and-drop to copy, we've just disabled the quick-action. We apologize for going back and forth on this, we just couldn't stand the quick-action behavior on touch devices.

• We've fixed yet another Tag filtering issue where partial matches where being included, this time partial matches at the end of the Tag. Hopefully we've got this sorted out for good this time around!

• We've added the ability to clear locally cached data and re-sync from iCloud in the event of a syncing glitch. This doesn't come up very often, but when it does it's really nice to have a built-in one-click solution to resolve it.

• We've updated the pricing screen to more accurately display the amount saved by going with the annual pricing over monthly pricing regardless of the region or currency. Special thanks to Tom R. for pointing out the flaw in our previous approach.

• We've added the ability to import items from Remembear and Keeper. Special thanks to Tom F. and Herbert S. for helping us get these added.

• We've updated the format for 8-digit one-time passwords to use a 4 - 4 spacing such as "1234 5678". It' much easier to read now. Special thanks to Matt K. for the suggestion.

• Lastly we've fixed a bug we inadvertently introduced a few versions ago where editing was not being limited to the first 10 items in free mode as the bottom banner would suggest. This was very confusing for many people and not terribly good for our business, so we've corrected it. For everyone who has been enjoying this "feature", please consider it to have been a kind of "extended free trial" which has now come to an end. Thanks for understanding!

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!


*** However there is just one more thing ***

We've decided it's time to get "featured" in the App Store and we need your help! We need as many reviews as possible to let the App Store feature team know how much people are enjoying Minimalist. If you haven't done so already, please leave a review now. Do you know someone else using Minimalist? Please ask them to leave a review. Every review counts!

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update addresses a number of smaller issues and annoyances which we're happy to be rid of! Let's discuss!


• We've fixed an issue where filtering by Tag would include partial matches. For example, filtering by "App" would include "Apple" tags. Special thanks to Dario F. for reporting.

• We've fixed an issue where spaces included in website and url fields would cause the Open-in-browser action to fail. Special thanks to Feek for reporting this.

• Notes fields are now included in search by default, but can of course be changed in settings if you'd like. Special thanks to AS for pushing us over the edge on this one.

• Minimalist will now keep a history of custom password and PIN fields, in addition to the standard password field. Special thanks to Jadon B. and Scott F. for the push.

• We've added two new categories under the Software group, API Credential and SSH Key. Special thanks to Jean-François G. for the request.

• We've added a new Never option to the timer-based-auto-lock setting. Special thanks to Ronald Y. for the request.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update is all about improving existing features, fixing bugs, and preparing for the future! Let's discuss.


• We've completely re-build quick-actions and context-menus using Apple's latest APIs, allowing us to bring all quick-action and context-menu features to all platforms! Quick-actions are now performed with single tap or click, context-menus are now presented with a long-press or right-click, and quick-action-overlays are now shown on hover whenever a pointer device is present. As part of this change, we drastically reduced the amount of code required to present context-menus, meaning there are far less places for bugs to hide! Hurray!

• Minimalist is now ready for the next generation of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS! We've updated text throughout the app to match current naming conventions, fixed bugs related to system changes, and updated context-menus to use Apple's latest APIs to ensure compatibility on all platforms. Special thanks to Iiro J. and Adam N. for bringing the context-menu issues to our attention.

• You can now copy attachments from Minimalist to other locations using drag-and-drop! Wait... what?!? You mean we couldn't do that already? No, unfortunately when we originally added drag-and-drop support we couldn't figure out how to support attachments because they are still encrypted at the time the drag starts. We knew it was possible, but it wasn't immediately obvious to us how to do it. So we took some time, figured it out, and now, finally, dragging attachments works just as you would expect. Phew! That feels much better.

• Importing and exporting has been improved as well. You can now import data from Elpass and export data to Apple's iCloud Keychain (Safari) CSV format! No more Minimalist lock-in! We've also fixed a number of bugs in the 1Password 1PUX importer which were causing the import to fail with the errors such as "the file couldn’t be saved because a file with the same name already exists", "encountedUnexpectedFieldValueKeys(keys: "")", and "sshKey expected to decode String but found a dictionary instead". Special thanks to Steve B., Nick, Rick McC., Chase M., Justin T., and 韓老師 for the suggestions and bug reports!

• Apparently Minimalist has included a bug for many months where changes made to the "While Minimalist is open, automatically lock after a period of inactivity" setting did not take effect until after the app had been quit and re-opened. We didn't notice this in testing because we quit and re-open the app many times each day. Oops! We've corrected the problem and the changes now go into effect immediately. Special thanks to David W. for helping us discover the issue.

• Finally, we've improved the Sync Status Indicator to show more information when a sync fails including what error caused the failure, and steps to resolve the issue where possible. Special thanks to Andrea E. for helping us with this one.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update is a relatively minor one, but hey, every bit counts! Let's discuss.

• Minimalist has always had the ability to re-order custom fields within custom sections, however there was no way to re-order the sections themselves. That is until now! You can now re-order entire sections by selecting "Re-order Sections" from the context menu next to a custom section's title. Special thanks to Édouard P. and Jadon B. for encouraging us to work on this.

• We've updated the one-time password generator to support the arbitrary values for the period parameter when using the OTP url scheme as a secret. We had mistakenly thought that only values of 15, 30, and 60 were valid, however it turns out there are services which use arbitrary values such as 7 or 10. Oops! Our bad! In any event, Minimalist will now generate the correct one-time passwords in even more situations! Special thanks again to James C. for bringing this to our attention.

• Importing data into Minimalist has been improved as well. You can now import data from Secrets, Avira, and the latest version of mSecure. We've also improved the 1Password 1PIF importer to correctly put items in the archive as indicated. Special thanks to Tom E., Giovanni V., and Yariv N. for making these suggestions.

• We've fixed an issue where the "Show as Subtitle" command would not work under some circumstances. Special thanks to Jadon B. for pointing this out.

• Finally, we've attempted to fix a really annoying layout issue which caused the action buttons at the bottom of an item's details to be the wrong height. Sometimes they were way too tall, and sometimes they were so squished the labels were no longer readable. We can't be 100% sure it's corrected, but we haven't seen it even once during testing so it’s looking promising! Special thanks to Jadon B. for encouraging us to look at this again.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update is all about the little things that make a big difference! Let's discuss.

• A few versions ago we inadvertently introduced a performance issue which made virtually EVERYTHING slower. Amazingly not single person complained! Still, it's been driving us crazy!!! Well, we've found the culprit and have corrected it. Minimalist is now blazingly fast once again!

• Apple recently made a small change to how AutoFill extensions work which unfortunately caused a number of issues for Minimalist AutoFill. We thought we had caught them all, but apparently a few snuck by. This release fixes an issue where the "keep unlocked for a period of time" setting was not being respected when using Minimalist AutoFill. We've also fixed an issue where using the enter/return key to select a login item in Minimalist AutoFill sometimes triggered an infinite loop as if the enter/return key was being repeated pressed, over and over again, forever. Special thanks to Feek for helping us identify and fix these issues.

• We've updated the one-time password generator to support the digits=7 parameter when using the otp url scheme as a secret. Use of this configuration is pretty rare, so please don't worry if you're not familiar with these terms or concepts, you can safely ignore them. The bottom line is Minimalist will now generate the correct one-time passwords in even more situations! Special thanks to James C. for requesting this.

• Importing data into Minimalist has been improved as well. You can now import data from DataVault (by Ascendo). We've also improved the Passwords Plus importer to attempt to import username and password data into the standard login fields where possible. Special thanks to Kay W., Dwight K., and John K. for making these suggestions.

• Finally, we've made a number of small usability improvements such as preventing the password generator popover from dismissing when the background is touched by accident, adding an Open in Browser option to the context menu for items in the list, adding instructions for disabling Minimalist AutoFill in the associated settings screen, and updating email handling to support non-Apple email apps such as HEY. Special thanks to Rishabh D., Wayne R., and Andrew C. for these suggestions.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update resolves a few minor issues and adds a few important features! Let's dive in!

• To start, let's talk about importing data from other apps. We've fixed an issue with the 1Password 1PUX importer which prevented some attachments from being imported, and sometimes prevent the import from completing at all. We've also updated the iCloud Keychain (Safari) CSV importer to match the new the column labels. Finally we've added support for importing from Passwords Plus CSV files. Special thanks to David M., ultradjgirl, and John K. for helping us with these.

• Recently we added some security improvements to Minimalist. This included a requirement that your Master Password be used to unlock Minimalist after a device restart. While many people welcome the change, a number of people have expressed frustration with it. Not to worry, this feature can now be disabled under Authentication & Security -> "After this device has been restarted". Special thanks to everyone who wrote in about this.

• We've improved the handling of backup files stored inside iCloud Drive folders. Minimalist will now properly handle files which are technically present in iCloud Drive, but have not yet been downloaded to the device. Special thanks the Brad V. for pointing this out.

• We've seriously increased the number of custom sections and fields each item in Minimalist can have. It's now up to 52 sections, and a whopping 130 fields! Hopefully this will be enough! Special thanks to Aaron P. for pushing the envelope of what Minimalist can handle!


*** And now for something new ***

• Minimalist now supports "favorites"! You can mark an item as "favorite" then select the "Favorites" category to see all your favorites. Special thanks to E. Soto, Aaron P., Akos K., Tim S., Chase M., Claude B., and the many, many others who have requested this over the last few years. You know who you are!

• Last but not least, we've added something new called "Safe for Inspection Mode"! This is for situations such as border crossings or entering government agencies where you may be asked to present your Minimalist data for inspection and only want certain items to be visible. Learn more under Settings -> Safe For Inspection Mode. Special thanks to Artem T. for helping us with this.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!


*** But there is... just one more thing ***

We've decided it's time to get "featured" in the App Store and we need your help! We need as many reviews as possible to let the App Store feature team know how much people enjoy using Minimalist.

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few weeks! Today's update addresses a few relatively minor issues and adds a few relatively minor features. But hey, it's the little things that count!

• We've fixed an issue which, in extremely rare cases, caused Minimalist to crash on launch due to corrupt data having made its way into a person's account. Minimalist will now happily ignore the corrupted data so you can continue accessing your account and perform backups and exports. Special thanks to Jonas K. for working with us to identify this issue.

• We've fixed an issue with the 1Password 1PIF importer which prevented specific attachment data from being imported when the same filename was attached to multiple items. This was a silly oversight on our part which has been remedied. Special thanks to Lazar J. and Alexander B. for helping us identify this issue.

• We've fixed another issue with the 1Password 1PIF importer which improperly handled additional websites by putting them into a custom section rather than adding them to the "additional websites" field. Special thanks to Feek for helping us sort this out.

• We've added support for importing from 1Password's 1PUX format! Perfect for everyone looking to migrate from 1Password 8 for Mac. Special thanks to Chase M., David M., and Michael S. for pushing us to get on this!

• We've fixed an issue with the Enpass importer where items created with custom templates would cause the import to fail. This was a simple oversight on our part which has been resolved. Special thanks to Aaron P. for helping us determine the issue.

• We've added a new setting under Item Details which lets you select a default username to use for new login items. This is of course optional, but is very convenient if you generally use the same email address for all your online accounts. Special thanks to Daryl J. for helping us see the need for this.

• We've fixed an issue where drag-and-dropping credit card numbers and one time passwords would not remove the formatting spaces between the numbers. This often resulted in form fields rejecting or truncating the copied numbers. Minimalist now correctly removes the formatting spaces. Special thanks to Dario F. and G. Saez for bringing this to our attention.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!


*** Although there is... just one more thing ***

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback on last week's update! It was great to hear how much you all enjoyed it! However it was slightly less great to hear about some of the bugs you encountered. Today's update remedies this situation and fixes as many bugs as we could find! Let's dive in!

• Let's start with the big one. We've fixed an issue related to our use of the Secure Enclave which prevented Face ID, Touch ID, and Unlock with Apple Watch from working properly under rare circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Going forward this will not be an issue as we've learned our lesson; respect the Secure Enclave! Special thanks to Paul R. for helping us identify this issue.

• Now let's talk about Minimalist AutoFill. It turns out there was a small change to the way the Apple's AutoFill system works which caused all kinds of strange behaviors and bugs with Minimalist AutoFill. We apologize for not noticing earlier! We've updated Minimalist AutoFill and it’s now behaving normally again. Special thanks to Hanna H. and Arden Sinclair for reporting these issues.

• Next up we've fixed two separate issues which under rare circumstances caused Minimalist to crash while importing 1pif files. Luckily this seems to have been quite rare and only affected a few people. Special thanks to John D., Jeffery T., and Camilla D. for reporting these issues.

• Wouldn't it be great if Minimalist automatically selected the search bar after being unlocked on Mac? Well that's how Minimalist was supposed to work all along! And now it does! Special thanks to Feek for pointing this out.

• Apparently the clipboard auto-clear feature was a little too good at clearing things from the clipboard, even when it wasn't supposed to! Oops, our bad! We've made some adjustments and it's working correctly again. Special thanks Joel K. for reporting this and helping us figure out exactly what was happening here!

• As usual there are other small improvements such as the ability to add tags to items being imported, the addition of Open in Browser keyboard shortcuts, selecting a sensible default location when choosing the backup folder, and replacing the last word of "memorable" generated passwords with a 3-digit number to get past the password police! Special thanks to Édouard P., Feek, Ria, and Mitch W. for suggesting these.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!


*** Although there is... just one more thing ***

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback on last week's update! We're thrilled to hear how much you're enjoying it! Today's update continues the trend of "quality-of-life" improvements and adds two hotly requested new features! Let's dive in!

• We're glad people are enjoying the newly rebuilt Large Viewer, but we've been told the layout is sometimes off and the character position numbers can be distracting. Well good news folks, we've fix the layout issues and you can now choose how the character position numbers are displayed under Settings -> Appearance -> "When using the Large Viewer...". Special thanks to Scott F. for pointing out the layout issues.

• When displaying an item's details, Minimalist automatically conceals passwords, passcodes, and PINs so they can be copied without being visible to anyone else around you. We really like this feature, but we've been told it's not for everyone. Now you can disable the automatic concealing feature under Settings -> Authentication & Security -> "When displaying item details...". Big thanks to efthymisgr, Rick D'A., and Tim S. for requesting this.

• We've added the ability to copy usernames, in addition to passwords and one-time passwords, from various menus throughout the app. Thanks to Nguyet N. for the suggestion.

• As some of you have already discovered, each item in Minimalist has a limited number of custom fields which can be added to it, 26 in fact. Well that number just doubled to 52! Thanks to Artem T. for the suggestion.


*** Hotly Requested New Feature # 1 ***

• Minimalist now has a full-featured password generator! We were thoroughly surprised by how many people requested this feature over the last year. Please let us know what you think and we'll continue refining it over time. Huge thanks to Efthymis T., Hugh M., Steven J., Tarun A., Aman C., Andrew J., Christian K., efthymisgr, Scott F., Diego G., Bill L., Antonio S., James M., June K., and Ragnar V. for helping us understand the need for this feature.


*** Hotly Requested New Feature # 2 ***

• A proper item archive! You can now clean up your item list and AutoFill menu WITHOUT deleting old items. Simply move them to the archive where they will be kept safe and won't participate in AutoFill. Large thanks to Miguel Z., Scott F., efthymisgr, Klaas K., Joao, and Hugh M. for helping us see the benefit of this.


*** An Important Side Note ***

We've decided it's time to get "featured" in the App Store and we need your help! We need as many reviews as possible to let the App Store feature team know how many people love Minimalist. If you haven't done so already, please leave a review now. Do you know someone else using Minimalist? Please ask them to leave a review. Every review counts! Together we can do it!

Thank you very much in advance and we'll talk soon!

Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback over the last few months! Today's update is all about "quality of life" improvements which will make day-to-day use of Minimalist more enjoyable. Let's dive in!

• We've added a new persistent "Forgot Password?" when entering your master password. Big thanks to everyone who wrote in letting us know how badly this was needed.

• You can now press command-U when entering your master password to unlock with Touch ID or Apple Watch (when available).

• Minimalist can now be set to automatically unlock using Touch ID or Apple Watch either only when first opened OR whenever the app become active. Thanks to everyone who requested this!

• We've removed the 20 item limit when searching. We honestly believed the limit was needed to improve performance... it wasn't. Big thanks to Larry M., Neil B., and Vishal N. for encouraging us to revisit this decision.

• You can now choose which fields are included while searching via the new Search & Trash settings screen. p.s. The last option in the list includes the "notes" field! Thanks to Pavel T. and w i n t e r m u t e for recommending this.

• We've added a new Appearance settings screen which lets you customize the look and feel of Minimalist. Would you like to always be in light mode, or dark mode, or match the system? Would you like dark mode to use shades of gray or be completely black? How about font style and size? Want to see more items in the list at once? Go ahead, it's all in there!

• We've completely re-written the Large Viewer to better handle long text, support multiline text, and show character position numbers when displaying passwords! We're pretty impressed with ourselves on this one. It was a lot of fun! Big thanks to Eric I. for helping us see the value in the character position numbers.

• We've fixed a number of issues which could cause a sync to stall until the app was restarted. These stalled syncs should no longer happen, and if they do, they should be resolved automatically within 10 minutes. Thanks to Eden S., Akos K., and everyone else who reported this.

• Importing from Dashlane and 1Password should now be even smoother as we've updated the importers to handle changes in those formats. Also 1Password .1pif exports now include actual attachment data which Minimalist can now import! Thanks to Mike F. for notifying us about the Dashlane format changes.

• We've made "copy" the default action when selecting an email, phone, and address fields. You can of course still select other actions via the menu, but "copy" is now the default. Thanks to Scott f. for helping us realize how much more frequently we want to copy info from Minimalist, rather than start emails or phone calls. You were right!


There are of course many other small improvements and bug fixes... but these release notes are pretty long already and we have things to do! So that's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

Apparently in our efforts to make passwords a little easier to read, we also made them a little harder to edit! We inadvertently introduced a bug in version 2.9.6 which causes the cursor to jump to the end of the password field every time an edit is made. Oops! Not to worry, today's update corrects this issue and restores password editing tranquility. Ah, that's much better.

Previous release notes:

Thank you very much to everyone who sent in feedback! Today's update is a relatively minor one while we work on larger things, but hey, every bit counts!

• We've added support for importing passwords from iCloud Keychain's new CSV format. You can now easily import your iCloud Keychain passwords using Safari 15.0 or higher.

• We've updated the 1Password importer to properly handle 1Password's new "File" field type. Unfortunately we're still unable import the actual attachment data, but at least it won't crash anymore!

• We've made it easier to choose which field is shown as the subtitle in the item list. Previously you needed to be editing an item in order to see this option in a field's menu. We've changed this so you can now select "Show as Subtitle" without needing to enter edit mode. This makes updating items much faster. Special thanks to Hugh M. for helping with this feature.

• We've made passwords a little easier to read by making numbers, punctuation, and symbols a slightly different color. It's now much easier to differentiate between similar looking characters. Special thanks to Rick M. and Eric I. for selling us on this idea.

• Did you know Minimalist automatically deletes trashed items after 30 days? Well neither did a bunch of other people. That's because we did a terrible job of indicating this in the UI. We've corrected this oversight and now display messages throughout the app to make this feature clear. Special thanks to Scott F. for helping us realize our mistake.

• A few weeks ago we received an anonymous request to add a random-username-generator. At first we didn't really understand the request. Why would we want random usernames? Our anonymous requestor then explained, it's to help create "masked email accounts" for situations where you don't want to use your personal email account with some other online account. We were convinced! You can now generate random usernames via the standard username field's menu button, then optionally append a domain to make it an email address. Special thanks to our anonymous requestor!


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

Thank you very much to everyone who sent in feedback! Today's update is all about small improvements which make a big difference!

• Were you excited to use the new "authentication methods" setting introduced in the last update only to find your preferred method missing? You're not alone. Determining which authentication methods are available on a given device turned out to be more complicated than we originally thought. So we've re-built the detection feature and thoroughly tested it on a number of different devices! Head on over to Settings -> Authentication & Auto-lock and select the authentication method that's right for you! Special thanks to Shane R., Eden, and Andrew J. for reporting this issue.

• We've added the ability to choose which field is shown as the subtitle in the item list. Simply edit an item, select a field's menu button, and select "Show as Subtitle". Note some fields are not eligible like passwords, PINs, OTPs, and attachments. Special thanks to Collier J. and Hugh M. for the suggestion.

• We've improved the grouping and sorting of items in the list. Items will now be properly grouped and sorted even when their title starts with a non-latin character. i.e. Chinese characters, symbols, and even Emoji! Special thanks to Guozhu and Collier J. for highlighting these issues.

• We've moved Rewards Programs from the "Payment Types" group into a new "Loyalty / Rewards" group to make things easier to find. Special thanks to Dave U. for this suggestion.

• We've made the lightest text in Minimalist just a hair darker as it was pretty hard to read. Special thanks to David N. for pointing this out.

• Minimalist periodically reminds you to enter your master password in order to help prevent forgotten master passwords. Unfortunately the previous messaging was a little confusing so we’ve re-written it to be as clear as possible. Special thanks to Larry M. for pointing this out.

• We've added a link to our website's help page in the menu bar, along with some ways to help spread the word about Minimalist! Special thanks to Andrew J. for this suggestion.


That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

Thank you very much to everyone who sent in feedback! Today's update is all about bug fixes and performance improvements:

• Minimalist now properly falls back to solid colors when "reduce transparency" is enabled. Thanks Marc!

• We've fixed a sneaky bug which prevented the QuickType Bar from remembering Minimalist passwords after syncing in the background. Oops! That's our bad. We're good now.

• As always there are a few additional bug fixes and performance improvements to keep everything running smoothly.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

Thank you very much to everyone who sent in feedback! Today's update is all about security:

• We've added Break-In Prevention to prevent others from guessing your Master Password. This works by introducing delays between failed Master Password attempts.
• Forgot your Master Password? Everything you store in Minimalist is encrypted using your Master Password. Without it, there is no way to decrypt your data, not even by us. However if needed, you can now reset Minimalist to permanently delete all data, from all synced devices, and start over.
• As always there are a few additional bug fixes and improvements to keep everything running smoothly.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

We've renamed the app to Password Manager Minimalist to better reflect what the app is all about.

We've also streamlined onboarding to get new users started quickly and easily.

Nobody likes surprise paywalls so we've added an indicator to let new users know exactly how many passwords are left in the free trial.

Of course we've also fixed a few bugs and made some other UI improvements.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

Get ready for some major improvements! We've added some much-needed features and many UI improvements:

- We've greatly improved section and field management while editing. Create new sections, add/remove fields, change an existing field's type, everything you would expect... well almost everything... (hint: sorting coming soon).

- MiniPass now has improved support for physical keyboards on iPad. Navigate passwords using up/down arrows, use command-C to copy the selected password, navigate fields while editing tab/shift-tab. It's amazing the difference this makes when using a physical keyboard.

- iCloud sync happens automatically but every so often we find ourselves wanting to trigger a sync manually. Now we can via pull-to-refresh or a keyboard shortcut on iPad.

- We love Dark Mode! However we've been finding the background colors a little too bright so we've darkened them. Ahh, that's much better.

- Many other UI improvements, bug fixes, and performance optimizations. Everything is just better now.

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

- Questions, comments, concerns, feature requests? Now you can get in touch or leave a review right from the settings screen.
- We fixed an annoying issue where Touch/Face ID unlock wasn't always being offered after MiniPass had been in the background for a while. We took care of it.
- Did you notice how the MiniPass logo wasn't quite centered when unlocking MiniPass? Well we did and it was driving us crazy!!! It's perfectly centered now.
- Last but not least we've improved the performance of some background processing to limit the amount of battery MiniPass uses while still providing a great experience. Every little bit counts!

That's it for now, but stay tuned because there's more to come!

- MiniPass now supports keyboard shortcuts on iPad for common tasks like creating a new password, locking MiniPass, or starting a search.
- We've also fixed a few more sneaky layout issues affecting smaller devices.

Stay tuned, more to come!
