1Password just raised its individual plan to $47.88/year.
LastPass Premium: $36/year.
Dashlane Premium: $59.88/year.

Three apps. Same job. Storing strings of text inside an encrypted file.

In March 2026, 1Password emailed every customer that prices were going up by $12/year. Reddit r/PasswordManagers turned into a graveyard of cancellation screenshots overnight.

A German developer named Dominik Reichl saw this coming twenty-three years ago.

In 2003 he wrote the first open-source password manager. He called it KeePass. He gave it away.

Other developers ported it to Linux and Mac and called the port KeePassX. When KeePassX went dormant, a new community fork picked up the code in February 2016.

They called it KeePassXC.

→ AES-256 encryption with Argon2 key derivation
→ Vault is a single .kdbx file you control
→ Auto-type, browser autofill for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Tor
→ TOTP and HOTP one-time codes built in
→ YubiKey and OnlyKey hardware token support
→ Passkey support
→ SSH agent integration for developers
→ Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD
→ Sync via Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, Syncthing, USB stick, anything
→ No account required
→ No telemetry
→ No subscription, ever

Here's the wildest part:

The vault is just a file. If your sync provider got breached tomorrow, attackers would get an AES-256 encrypted blob. Your master password never leaves your device.

KeePassXC was independently audited in January 2023 by security researcher Zaur Molotnikov. He recommended the use of its core functionality. The Electronic Frontier Foundation lists it in their official Surveillance Self-Defense guide.

26,921 stars. 1,768 forks. ~489 contributors. GPLv2. Built since February 2016. Last release in March. Last commit yesterday.

A community of volunteers in 2016 vs. a multi-billion-dollar password subscription industry in 2026.

Your passwords. Your file. No renewal email.

100% Open Source.

This Chinese guy created agents in Claude Code for landing pages and single-handedly serves 47 small businesses a month, taking $400 from each.

He built a system of 7 agents on Claude Sonnet 4.6 that analyzes Google Maps in small towns, finds small businesses without websites there, and over 1 weekend takes each one to a finished mockup with video and cold message.

No assistant, no sales team, no SDR. Just him, a MacBook, an iPhone, and 1 API key.

And traditional web design agencies keep teams of 8 people on salary for the same order flow, while his expenses are only tokens and subscriptions to Lovable, Higgsfield, and Calendly.

7 agents work through 1 orchestrator on Claude Code Router. Usage is about 3 million tokens a day, the average API bill is about $480 a month.

All 7 go through MCP servers and write shared state to the file system, without shared state in memory and without race conditions, and 1 of them lives right in the iPhone and picks up positive replies from the subway, a taxi, or on walks.

And here is the system prompt he put into the orchestrator before launch:

"You are the orchestrator of a solo agency that sells ready-made websites to local businesses. You delegate read-only tasks to 6 sub-agents and own all writes.

sub-agents:

// Scout (walks through Google Maps in selected cities, looks for narrow niches: 5+ years on the map, fewer than 50 reviews, no website or a website from 2014, but high ratings)
// Diagnoser (for each lead writes a 50-word diagnosis, hero angle, tone matched to the industry, and a cold message under 70 words)
// Builder (generates a landing page mockup in Lovable through MCP only for the top 5 leads per day, with the sharpest diagnoses and the biggest gap)
// Filmer (pulls 5 screenshots of the mockup and through Higgsfield renders a 10-second vertical video 1080x1920 with a soft zoom)
// Pitcher (sends a personalized cold message through the right channel for the niche: email to roofers, SMS to tradesmen, IG DM to salons, LinkedIn to realtors)
// Checker (runs every message through evals for personalization, absence of AI markers and buzzwords before sending)
// Mobile (lives in the iPhone, handles positive replies in real time, books Zoom calls in Calendly through MCP while the owner is on the go).

You never let 2 sub-agents touch 1 lead. You stop and request approval from the human only when a deal exceeds $3,000 or the reply rate in a niche for the day drops below 12%."

Meaning the system knows what it is and within what boundaries it is allowed to act.

It knows it is supposed to find leads on its own.

It knows it is supposed to take each one to a mockup, video, and cold message without intervention.

It knows the human only steps in when a deal goes above $3,000 or the reply rate stops converging.

→ The system runs 24 hours a day

→ Scout goes through about 220 local businesses on Google Maps per day and leaves 30 new leads in the queue

→ Diagnoser outputs 30 structured diagnoses + briefs + cold messages per day

→ Builder assembles 3 to 5 finished landing pages in Lovable for the sharpest leads

→ Filmer renders a 10-second vertical video in Higgsfield for each one

→ Pitcher sends 30 personalized messages per day across 4 channels with a reply rate of about 14%

→ Checker runs every message through evals before sending

And only when a deal breaks $3,000 or the reply rate for the day drops below 12% does the orchestrator wake the owner.

And when the owner at that moment is sitting in the subway or a taxi, the Mobile agent in his iPhone picks up 1 move on its own: replies to a fresh positive reply from a dentist, books a Zoom through Calendly synced to the local time of the client, and puts the lead back in the queue. The owner only has to tap "approve" and in just 10 minutes join the call.

Here is what the system writes in his log during 1 of the Saturdays:

"scout report: 218 businesses checked in Austin, Denver, and Miami, 34 without a website, 19 with a website from 2014, 6 with an active redesign request in reviews. passing top 30 to diagnoser."

"pitcher: 30 cold messages sent across 4 channels, 14 replies, 5 positive, 3 Zoom calls booked for Sunday. passing to closer."

"builder: landing page for Westside Cosmetic Dentistry built in Lovable, 5 sections, mobile, soft beige. URL placed at /Users/dev/maps-agency/clients/westside/v1. filmer launching Higgsfield."

"eval flag: deal with The Lotus Salon at $3,400 exceeds the approved limit of $3,000. sending for manual review."

He has no server of his own and no separate backend.

Just a local file sandbox at /Users/dev/maps-agency, an MCP router, 1 API key to Claude, and the same key forwarded to Claude Code on his iPhone.

Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest one-person agency for selling websites to small businesses: $480 a month on the API, about $18,800 into the account, and between them 7 prompts, 1 file system, and 1 phone in the pocket.
