If there's one that keeps the data just on the local machine, I'd be interested.

My 50-year old brain isn't capable of memorizing that many passwords
anymore, so I use KeePassXC. I keep basically everything here
including my financial passwords and credit card data, with the
exception of passwords that I would have to remember anyway
(full-disk encryption, login, primary e-mail passwords, etc.)
Overall, it's much easier to remember and much harder to forget 10
complicated passwords that you use everyday than 100+ simple
passwords you use every month or even less.
I can't speak about Windows version of KeePass, because with the
exception of playing games not available on Macintosh, I haven't used
one since Windows 95 days.
I use Pass, which is a command-line only password manager using git and
gpg. It's good and lightweight.
1Password used to be a good third-party option, but recently it has been tending more towards silly subscription-based pricing and storing everything in the silly cloud. Probably best avoided in case some future version decides that's the only way to use it.
You can still buy the standalone version. (I have it).
And of course you store the encrypted database in a cloud location so
your many devices in many places can access the most recent data in it (whether the subscription or "all paid" version).
I find Dropbox to be less problematic than Apple iCloud. The latter has required that after changes made (ie) at home to appear on my work Mac
that I quit 1P and run it again. No such issues with Dropbox as the
cloud location.

nope. they've stopped selling the standalone licenses after the
announcement of version 8.

Standalone licenses are no longer for sale I am afraid, sorry. To
upgrade your 1Password app to version 7 or 8, you will need a
Membership. Please see this post from our founder Dave with all
the details

yep.

no such problem here.
dropbox has become incredibly bloated and bad that it's no longer
usable. it also hooks into the os in evil ways.

It's very usable. I have tons of files on it for various uses and
access files from many devices on a daily basis for both personal and
work. There is no "bloat" affecting that.
I also use iCloud for some things. There is often a "wait" while it downloads files. Seems to wait until one wants a file rather than being
in sycn asap as Dropbox does.
Regardless, over the years I've had various issues using iCloud for 1P
sync. It will be fine for a few months and then go bonkers. Could be because my home and work Macs are at different OS versions coupled to 1Password also being at different versions (home v. work Macs).
I don't care about that while Dropbox has been more reliable in this
regard - consistently.

the dropbox client is electron app (bloat) which contains a chrome
browser (more bloat). it's also a major resource hog. it's garbage.
<https://www.macrumors.com/guide/five-alternative-dropbox-clients/>
The Dropbox app has a troubled reputation among Mac users. The
client is often called out for using significant system resources,
even when it's not doing anything in the background. And when it
does lurch into action, syncing with Dropbox's servers can sometimes
be painfully slow, for no obvious reason.
Added to this is the fact that almost a year after the first Macs
with the M1 chip became available, Dropbox still doesn't natively
support Apple silicon, and won't until sometime in 2022. That means
M1 Mac owners must use Dropbox with Rosetta, and reports suggest the
client hemorrhages MacBook battery life and uses a disproportionate
amount of memory on Apple silicon Macs.
the above link lists alternative dropbox clients.

i've never seen any such issue across a wide array of macs, iphones and ipads.

opposite for me.
