I didn't try Conrad, because as far as I know it doesn't use any native components. Not that gtk-rs is much better, but I felt that at least GTK was "tried and true" versus a GUI entirely from scratch (Conrad). My first attempt was actually with libui, which would give me native components on every platform, but they don't implement a list view which is the heart of a password manager's UI...

Ah, okay, that makes sense, particularly with the cross-platform aspect. Personally, my plan had generally been to just go with a client-server architecture. At least to start I'd only be targeting macOS in my hypothetical projects, so I had planned to just write the UI in Swift and Cocoa, and application logic in Rust. Unnecessarily complicated, but fun for a hobby project.
