Since local vaults are no longer supported, it won’t please users who don’t want to use 1Password’s cloud-based password vault system. It’s been nine months, and 1Password 8 for Mac arrived this week. Just as there are good and bad Catalyst apps, there are good and bad Electron apps. But using a system like Electron does have consequences: Electron apps have a reputation for being slow, eating up a lot of system memory, and-perhaps most offensively-failing to behave like proper, “native” apps on whatever platform they operate. I think it’s fair to say that most users don’t care about the tools that a developer uses to write the apps we use. Last summer 1Password maker AgileBits made the wrong kind of news, when it announced that it was killing its traditional Mac app and replacing it with a new one built with Electron, a development system based on web technologies, on top of a cross-platform code base.
