Not any more. It used to be a no brainer, but they switched to cloud based subscription at great cost increase, loss of some features, and dark-patterned the native app into invisibility. Native is still available apparently, but you won't find it from the homepage, unless they were persuaded to change recently. Report an error in the native app, and they suggest switching to cloud subscription without addressing the error at all.
When my current native install of 1pw stops working I'll be migrating elsewhere.
- ValentineC 7y ago> Native is still available apparently, but you won't find it from the homepage, unless they were persuaded to change recently. I haven't verified this myself, but standalone licences seem to be available for purchase in the app itself: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/92275/how-do-i-purchase-a-standalone-license-of-1password-7 https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/92275/how-do-i-...
- MrFoof 7y agoCan verify that it's possible. Recently (past 30 days) did an upgrade to 7 with a standalone license.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoWhich until someone had to ask the question on the forum, having been unable to find any word, was not revealed at all on their main site, which was all about getting you on the sub. You wouldn't normally download the next (unlicensed) version on the off chance the buying mechanism has been quietly put in there instead. The former significant discounts for buying both phone and desktop, or Mac and Windows at the same time are gone too. Hence it's there, but intentionally dark patterned to near invisibility. They would prefer everyone on the pointlessly expensive sub.
- vsl 7y agoThe subscription version still uses native app. It’s not a webpage or electron crap. From context, you mean “one-time purchase”.
