5 months agoHalf the point of ads these days isn’t to advertise to you, it’s to piss you off enough to upgrade to a paid plan. If they happen to also make money from the adverts, then that’s just an added bonus.

That’s a fair point.
It’s only $20 a year or $80 for life. I feel like that’s a fair price to support the developers.
Ah thanks. Ya it’s Apple only but I like how it doesn’t sync to a central server but will still sync between your devices across your local network. Seems to minimize a lot of attack surface.
Any options on StrongBox? It seems like a good option but they don’t quite have the reputation that others have, despite being around since 2017.
I feel the same. I don’t do ads. If a product doesn’t have an ad-free product that I’m willing to pay for, then that product doesn’t exist for me. Similarly, if a paid product decides to introduce ads (I’m looking at you Amazon) I’m immediately cancelling.
