I used KeePassX 0.4.4 works up to OS X 10.11 and then, after some
testing, settled to KeePassXC.

I use the same .kdbx file at work with a KeePass Windows standalone
version and it works great.

I have advocated KeePass to the rest of the family and some use it and
some don't preferring the iCloud keychain which also seems to work OK
with less hassle.

Does it put a text file containing the passwords on your computer or are
you completely reliant on the thing ALWAYS working forever?

No. You're reliant on the software continuing to work -- the "database"
file is encrypted.

Equivalent of being reliant on say gpg continuing to work to decrypt a
text file or something.

I have a master .kdbx file and occasionally copy it to my other accounts
via sneaker net (iOS devices, Windows at work, various macOS test clones
virtual machines etc). So if for some reason the master does not work
(never happened yet), I can revert to those somewhat older backups. Or
if also that fails, I can revert to macOS Keychain.
