Codebook for Linux

Codebook
21

I am continuing to dump windows and mac in favor of Linux Mint. I have found either commercial or opens source software replacements for almost everything I need, except codebook! Please either create a linux version (probably an Appimage) or at least point me to a script that will allow me to access the db!

I use Ubuntu Linux on all my computers. Codebook is one of the few reasons I still boot into Windows on occasion, when the Android Codebook won’t do the job. I have been using Codebook for years. Excellent software. The last software I bought, Antidote 10, was available for Linux, so I hope it is just a matter of time for Codebook.

Debian variants. Raspberry Pi OS

I’m also long time Codebook user on Windows. Now going to switch to Ubuntu. Any update regarding current or future Linux support?

another vote for linux from a long time STRIP/Codebook user on windows, OS X, iOS, Android and now Manjaro linux. would happily pay for a linux option (wouldn’t it be nice if the port from OS X to linux wasn’t that hard
 )

I have used Codebook (on a Palm Pilot known as STRIP) for years and to this date. I have been doing much more lately in Linux. I would love to see a version on that platform. I do have my phone nearby, but that is somewhat of a pain.

Hi @lwetzel,

Thank you for your continued support of Codebook, nĂ©e STRIP for all of these years, we alway appreciate talking to long-time customers. We do receive inquires every so often about Linux support. At this time there hasn’t been a large enough interest to support building Codebook on the Linux platform. If I may ask, what Linux distribution do you us, and do you regularly purchase software for your Linux platform?

Hello again Nick,

I appreciate you position. I haven’t settled on one distribution yet I’m still surveying what’s available. I stick mostly to Debian. I find Zorin, Linux Mint, and Fedora more to my liking. I prefer Cinnamon and KDE desktops as they are very like Windows Desktop. I have tried for may years to use Linux but it is only in the last 8-10 years that the drivers allow easy installation. I have not purchased software but that does not mean I won’t when I find something I need or want. I have been experimenting with the Raspberry Pi for small projects at home. So I am using Linux on that but also Laptops and Desktops to become more efficient.

I am not sure what you company does for advertising Codebook but I do know I have never seen anyone referring to it other than on you site and Discus. I recently referred others to it for the replacement of LastPass because of their hacking incident. Might want to consider getting more out there.

It would certainly be of value to me for all the web sites I use that are the same on all my devices.

Thanks for your response.

I’m a longtime user of STRIP and now Codebook, as my password-handling app of choice.

Recently I pulled the plug on Windows, and have shifted to Linux Mint as my desktop OS of choice.

I think it would be delightful if there were a native build of Codebook for Linux, and I would be happy to pay for such a license. I would imagine a Flatpak or similar container would suit this application well, but I’m not a developer so I can’t say what would be best.

Currently whenever I need to look up a password, I have to pull out my phone and look it up, then painstakingly type in the (usually very randomized) password, and then I have to make the choice of whether to allow the browser to save the password for next time. I’d rather not do it, but it certainly is more convenient that way


I may look into what it would take to run Codebook under Wine emulation, which might be a workable solution. Still, consider this another vote for Linux support, if you’re collecting those sorts of statistics.

Thanks for your attention. :slight_smile:

I’ll add my vote for a Linux client.

Hey @naamloos,
Thanks for reaching out about a Linux client for Codebook. Just out of curiosity, what Linux OS are you using?

Cheers,
Don

I’m currently on Fedora, but might switch back to Ubuntu. - Jon

@naamloos Thanks for the reply, we will continue to keep an eye on these requests and revisit the request after Codebook 5 is released and we begin work on the UI redesign.

Cheers,
Don

I too am a longtime Strip/Codebook user. Great app. I would also like to see it available for Linux Mint. Thanks for the previous work to keep us safe.
