Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

Bitwarden. Most people think that their application is open source, but more and more of their code has shifted from the GPL/AGPL licensed code to code in their SDK, which is under a proprietary license. This led to their new Android app being disqualified from being hosted in F-Droid repos.

Keyguard was supposed to be an open source Bitwarden client, but the dev chose to use a custom proprietary license, so that is source available as well.

Vaultwarden ?

Edit: Nvm, that's just the server part

That's actually a good point too: Vaultwarden is fully open source. The official Bitwarden server also has proprietary components.

Yea but I didn't realize the vaultwarden project didn't also release client software.
I had looked into running my own vaultwarden, but without open source clients it's maybe a bit moot. Although I guess the web interface can be considered a client, OS or browser integration is a convenient feature.
