4 years ago1Password 8 for Mac is here - but still not a macOS application
I remember bold claims around continuing the work on the beta and not releasing 1PW 8 before it looks and behaves like a real macOS application. Does this mean that this is the result of this process...

4 years agoI can understand that as a complete rewrite, it is not possible to add in everything from the cumulative development of years that went into one now different app. Likely they had to make a choice of first including what is considered most essential as well as revisiting the app in general and deciding if any previous feature really should be included. Including everything they wanted in some initial release possibly wouldn’t have been possible without significant delay.
Still haven’t used the app much to have any general impressions. But indeed it is not very macOS like. For example the use of color compared to macOS. For the moment seems they decided they wanted one design across all platforms rather than adapting as much as possible to each, e.g. the large colored new item button looks out of place. Apple thinks such isn’t necessary for ease of use thus one doesn’t see colored toolbar icons in their guidelines. Not necessarily that Apple is correct in all design decisions but following guidelines and modifying the UI as such changes, I think many of us would prefer such.
