seniorpw is a command-line password manager that uses age as its encryption backend and is inspired by pass.
It stores secrets as age-encrypted text files in a local directory, letting you initialize new stores, clone existing ones, and manage entries from the terminal. The project also supports git-backed password stores, which makes it a good fit for users who want a simple and auditable workflow for handling encrypted credentials.
This is free and open source software.
