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.
